hpca-author-response
Use when drafting an HPCA rebuttal and revision in the single combined window: triaging objections by what the window can fix, running a small number of new experiments, writing for the program-committee room and its champion, and revising the paper diff-minimally so response and revision agree.

# HPCA Author Response Use this during HPCA's **single combined rebuttal/revision window** — the one period in which you respond to reviews and revise the paper together. The goal is not to win an argument; it is to arm a champion at the program-committee meeting and to make the revised paper reflect what you promise. ## Triage objections by what the window can fix Sort every review comment before writing a word: - **Deciding objection** — the methodology or novelty concern the champion must overcome. Spend most of the window here. - **Fixable-and-worth-it** — a missing baseline, a sensitivity study, an unclear mechanism detail the window has time to address. - **Clarification** — a misreading you can correct in a sentence and reflect in the revision. - **Out of scope** — a request no short window can satisfy; acknowledge honestly and scope what you *can* show. | Objection type | Response move | Revision move | |---|---|---| | Deciding (methodology/novelty) | Direct evidence or a tight argument | Change the paper to match | | Missing baseline / sweep | A small new experiment | Add the result, mark it | | Mechanism unclear | One-paragraph clarification | Tighten the description | |

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill hpca-author-response --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
