Use when preparing for the review phase of an ICDM (IEEE International Conference on Data Mining) submission - planning for a venue whose tradition is NO author rebuttal, pre-answering reviewer questions inside the submitted PDF and cited artifact, and, only if the current edition opens a response window, drafting a tight anonymity-safe reply.

# ICDM Author Response Prepare for the ICDM review phase under its defining reality: ICDM's tradition is **no author rebuttal**. Whether the current edition opens a response window is 待核实 (the ICDM 2025 call mentioned responses becoming part of the submission), so this skill has two modes — the default "there is no rebuttal" plan, and the contingency reply if a window exists. Confirm the current Research Track call before assuming either. ## Default mode: pre-answer everything at submission Because you may never get to reply, the submitted PDF and its cited anonymized artifact must answer the questions a reviewer would otherwise raise. Do this *before* the deadline. - **Baseline fairness:** state the tuning budget you gave baselines; pre-empt "you under-tuned the competitor." - **Variance:** report standard deviations over seeded runs; pre-empt "is this just noise?" - **Leakage:** state the time-respecting or edge-disjoint split; pre-empt "your split leaks." - **Scale:** show the cost curve and hardware; pre-empt "scalable is asserted, not shown." - **Discovery validity:** tie findings to known-truth injections; pre-empt "this is an artifact."

What does the icdm-author-response skill do?
Use when preparing for the review phase of an ICDM (IEEE International Conference on Data Mining) submission - planning for a venue whose tradition is NO author rebuttal, pre-answering reviewer questions inside the submitted PDF and cited artifact, and, only if the current edition opens a response window, drafting a tight anonymity-safe reply.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill icdm-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.
