icra-author-response
Use when responding to ICRA reviews in the channels that actually exist — turning decision-day reviewer comments into a disciplined camera-ready revision, writing the revise-and-resubmit response letter on the RA-L pathway, or converting an ICRA reject into a targeted IROS or RA-L resubmission — since classic ICRA offers no rebuttal.

# ICRA Author Response At most conferences "author response" means a rebuttal window. Classic ICRA has none (verify the current cycle — see `icra-review-process`): reviews arrive together with the January decision. Author response at ICRA therefore happens in three real channels, each with its own craft: the **camera-ready revision** after acceptance, the **RA-L response letter** if the work travels the journal pathway, and the **resubmission memo** after a reject. Doing these well is a skill; pretending a rebuttal exists is a planning error. ## Channel 1: the camera-ready revision (accepted papers) Reviewer comments on an accepted ICRA paper are advisory — no one re-checks compliance — but ignoring them is shortsighted: reviewers are your first readers, their confusions predict everyone else's, and the same people may review the journal extension. Triage each comment: | Comment type | Action in camera-ready | Budget guard | |---|---|---| | Factual/math error caught | fix unconditionally | always fits | | Ambiguity that misled a reviewer | rewrite the passage | high priority | | Missing reference | add it | cheap | | "Add experiment X" | usually defer to journal version; add only i

What does the icra-author-response skill do?
Use when responding to ICRA reviews in the channels that actually exist — turning decision-day reviewer comments into a disciplined camera-ready revision, writing the revise-and-resubmit response letter on the RA-L pathway, or converting an ICRA reject into a targeted IROS or RA-L resubmission — since classic ICRA offers no rebuttal.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill icra-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.
