icassp-author-response
Use when drafting an ICASSP rebuttal or author response to reviews, covering the recently added and short author-response window, the single-blind setting where reviewers already know you, answering signal-processing reviewers from the four-page record without a revised PDF, and writing for the technical-committee decision rather than for tone.

Reopen the current call before promising reviewers anything. ## What the rebuttal is and is not - It is a **short, text-based reply** to the reviews, not a chance to upload a revised PDF or new experiments. Argue from what you already submitted. - ICASSP is **single-blind**, so the reviewers know your identity; write professionally and do not attempt to re-establish anonymity or drop identifying hints to sway a reviewer. - The audience is the **area/technical-committee decision**: give whoever aggregates the reviews a clean reason to accept, not a point-by-point defense that wins arguments but not the paper. ## Triage before drafting 1. Separate **factual errors in the review** (a metric misread, a missed baseline that is in the paper) from **legitimate gaps** (a missing comparison, an unreported condition). 2. Fix the factual errors first with an exact pointer: "Table 2, row 3 a

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill icassp-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.
