icml-author-response
Use when drafting ICML rebuttals and reviewer-author discussion replies under OpenReview double-blind constraints, where authors respond after initial reviews, reviewers may then have one additional discussion round, no revised paper can be uploaded during the period, and responses must stay anonymous. Use to triage objections by soundness, originality, significance, clarity, ethics, and reproducibility for the AC.

# ICML Author Response Use this after initial ICML reviews arrive. The response should clarify and correct; it cannot rely on uploading a revised paper during the feedback period. ## ICML response model ICML 2026 author instructions state that authors can respond after initial reviews, that reviewers see those responses after the response period, and that reviewers and authors may then have one additional communication round. Responses must remain anonymous and should not contain non-anonymized URLs, personal websites, or shortened URLs. Reviewer instructions tell reviewers to explain whether the rebuttal changed their final recommendation. ## Triage logic - Prioritize objections that affect soundness, originality, significance, clarity, ethics, or reproducibility. - Answer the AC's likely decision question, not every minor reviewer note. - Treat contradictions between reviewers as a chance to give the AC a clean synthesis. - Use new analyses sparingly and only to clarify an existing claim. - Keep all links anonymous and policy-compliant. Reviewers are not expected to follow external URLs in responses. ## Drafting pattern 1. Open with the central correction or concession. 2. Refer

Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 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.
