Use when writing the ARR author response for a paper headed to NAACL — deciding which reviewer objections to spend the window on, drafting replies that give the action editor a citable meta-review sentence, and protecting the score record that NAACL's committee will later read at commitment.

# NAACL Author Response The response you write inside an ARR cycle is read twice: once by the reviewers and action editor who finish the meta-review, and once more — frozen — by NAACL's senior area chairs when you commit the package. That second audience changes the calculus. A reply that merely wins an argument helps less than a reply that leaves a clean, quotable record showing the objection was answered. ## Budgeting the window ARR response windows are short and reviewers rarely return for a second round. Rank objections by what they cost you downstream: | Objection class | Downstream cost if unanswered | Response priority | |---|---|---| | Soundness attack (flawed eval, wrong baseline, leakage suspicion) | Sinks both ARR scores and any NAACL commitment | Answer first, with evidence coordinates | | Coverage attack ("claims exceed the languages/domains tested") | Recurring killer for Americas-flavored papers | Concede scope or cite the table that grants it | | Novelty doubt | Damaging but survivable if excitement holds | Answer with a two-sentence delta statement | | Presentation complaints | Cheap to fix, cheap to promise | Batch into one short commitment list | | Requests for i

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