kdd-author-response
Use when drafting KDD rebuttals on OpenReview, where authors answer each review under a no-hyperlink rule, cannot upload revisions, and write for the area chair who recommends Accept, Reject, or Resubmit. Covers evidence-anchoring without links, per-reviewer triage, and turning a likely Resubmit into next-cycle material at ACM SIGKDD.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# KDD Author Response Use this when KDD reviews land. The structural facts that shape every rebuttal here: authors get a chance to respond to **each review**; the area chair reads the responses plus the reviewer discussion and recommends; the PC chairs decide; and the decision space includes **Resubmit**, not just accept/reject. Confirm the current cycle's exact rebuttal window and length limits on OpenReview before drafting — mechanics move between cycles. ## The no-links constraint KDD 2026 forbade hyperlinks in rebuttals and discussion. Practical consequences: - You cannot introduce a new repository, demo, or anonymous site now. The only artifact reviewers can check is whatever the submitted PDF already references. - Point with coordinates instead: "Table 3, column 4", "Section 5.2, lines 412-419" (the `review` option's line numbers exist precisely for this), "Appendix B, Algorithm 2", "README section 'Repro' of the repository cited in Section 6". - New numbers may be typed into the response as plain text tables if the cycle's rules allow new experimental results at all — check before running anything. ## Per-reviewer triage Sort every reviewer point into one of four bins before
- The no-links constraint
- Per-reviewer triage
- Drafting pattern per review
- Playing for Resubmit when Accept is out of reach
- Tone calibration for this venue
- Worked micro-exchange
- Rebuttal-window logistics
- Output format

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