Use when responding to ACM SIGMETRICS reviews, covering any initial rebuttal and — distinctively — the one-shot revision response letter that must map every item on the reviewers' required-changes list to a concrete change in the revised POMACS paper, resubmitted to a subsequent rolling deadline and re-reviewed once by the original reviewers under double-anonymity.

# SIGMETRICS Author Response Use this after SIGMETRICS reviews are released. The defining SIGMETRICS response is the **one-shot revision letter**: if you receive a **One-Shot Revision** decision, you get **exactly one** chance to resubmit a revised paper (to one of the next two rolling deadlines) accompanied by a letter that closes the reviewers' **explicit list of required changes**. Any initial-round rebuttal is secondary; the revision letter is where the paper is won. ## Triage - Answer what affects the decision: model rigor, proof correctness, assumption validity, the soundness and fairness of empirical/simulation evidence, novelty, and reproducibility. - Use evidence that already exists or that the revision will concretely add — a completed proof case, a new simulation, a validated assumption — never a vague promise. - Correct factual misreadings first; a reviewer who misread a lemma or a plot is often persuadable. - Preserve **double-anonymity** in any letter that circulates before decision (the Operational Systems Track excepted). ## The one-shot revision response letter (the distinctive SIGMETRICS move) A One-Shot Revision is single-shot: there is no second revision, so the

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