# IEEE S&P Author Response Use this in two situations that S&P runs differently from most venues: the short **rebuttal** offered only to papers that survive the first round, and the **Revise response**, a full re-submission against a written expectations summary. The 2027 Cycle 2 rebuttal window was five days — reviews out Feb 11, rebuttal due Feb 16, 2027 (checked 2026-07-08) — so the work is mostly done before reviews arrive or it does not get done. ## Pre-draft before reviews land Between the early-reject notice and review release, write the skeleton: - The three objections your own red-team read would raise (usually: an adaptive-attacker gap, a threat-model realism question, a measurement-validity question). - The exact section/figure references answering each. - The ethics documentation block: disclosure dates, vendor responses, IRB determination ID — assembled, dated, ready to paste. ## Triage the review set in the first hour | Objection type | Response strategy | Win probability | |---|---|---| | Misreading of mechanism or threat model | Quote the submission, cite section, restate in two lines | High | | Missing experiment you actually have | Point to appendix/artifact locat

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