# Web Conference Author Response The 2026 rebuttal window ran November 24 - December 1, 2025 — seven days, scheduled over a major holiday week in North America, between the October 7 paper deadline and the January 13 notification. Plan writing capacity for that specific week the moment the paper goes in. Exact mechanics (length caps, per-review vs. single response, revised-PDF permission) were not published in the sources this pack could verify; confirm them in the review platform the day reviews arrive, before drafting. ## Read the packet as a track artifact Web Conference reviews come from a track-scoped pool, and the venue's defining property is that neighboring tracks read the same paper differently. A recommendation paper reviewed in "User modeling, personalization and recommendation" gets offline-metric and baseline questions; the same paper in "Social networks and social media" gets construct-validity and user-harm questions. Before answering anything, classify each review: | Reviewer stance | Diagnostic signal | Response strategy | |---|---|---| | In-track expert | Names specific baselines/datasets you skipped | Concede or supply numbers; never hand-wave | | Adjacent-track

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