About this skill

RebuttalStudio Multi-Stage Skill

Follow this dispatcher structure:

  1. Identify stage first (stage1, stage2, stage4, or stage5).
  2. For stage1 and stage2, apply the stage template first, then select conference-specific extension.
  3. Execute the conference skill instructions directly.

Available stage workflows

  • stage1/template/SKILL.md: Shared Stage 1 breakdown template. Apply before conference overrides.
  • stage1/iclr/SKILL.md: Convert raw reviewer feedback into a structured breakdown for rebuttal drafting.
  • stage1/icml/SKILL.md: Convert raw reviewer feedback into a structured breakdown for rebuttal drafting (ICML mapping).
  • stage2/template/SKILL.md: Shared Stage 2 refine template. Apply before conference overrides.
  • stage2/iclr/SKILL.md: Refine Stage2 outline drafts into reviewer-facing rebuttal prose.
  • stage2/icml/SKILL.md: Refine Stage2 outline drafts into reviewer-facing rebuttal prose (ICML labeling).
  • stage4/condense/SKILL.md: Condense Stage 3 combined discussion into reusable markdown context.
  • stage4/refine/SKILL.md: Refine follow-up response using condensed context + follow-up question + user draft.
  • stage5/final-remarks/SKILL.md: Fill Stage 5 final remarks template from all reviewers' condensed markdown context.

Available utility workflows

  • polish/SKILL.md: Polish (rephrase) a rebuttal message template for clarity and professionalism while preserving the original structure, tone, and intent.

Available stage-general utility skills

These skills apply across multiple stages and provide strategic, stylistic, and quality guidance:

  • utility/stage/review-response/SKILL.md: Comment classification (Major/Minor/Misunderstanding/Typo) and response strategy selection (Accept/Defend/Clarify/Experiment). Use when planning how to respond to any reviewer concern.
  • utility/stage/writing-anti-ai/SKILL.md: Remove AI-generated writing patterns from rebuttal prose. Use after Stage 2 refinement or Stage 4 follow-up when text reads formulaic or robotic.
  • utility/stage/text-condense/SKILL.md: Condense selected rebuttal prose into fewer words without changing meaning. Use when a paragraph is too long but the technical content should stay intact.
  • utility/stage/rebuttal-self-review/SKILL.md: Pre-submission quality checklist covering coverage, tone, factual accuracy, structure, and clarity. Use after Stage 3 compilation or Stage 5 final remarks.
  • utility/stage/citation-verification/SKILL.md: Verification workflow for any new citation added during rebuttal writing. Use when LLM-suggested references appear in Stage 2 drafts.

If a requested stage/conference does not exist, stop and ask for missing spec before inventing format. When adding a new conference for Stage 1 or Stage 2, extend the stage template and edit only conference-specific differences.

When not to use it

  • When the user's request does not involve multi-stage rebuttal analysis
  • When the specific conference or stage workflow is not available
  • When the user needs to generate content unrelated to reviewer comments or rebuttals

Limitations

  • Requires explicit stage identification (stage1, stage2, stage4, or stage5)
  • If a requested stage/conference does not exist, it will stop and ask for missing spec
  • Conference-specific differences are handled by extending stage templates

How it compares

This skill provides a structured, multi-stage approach to rebuttal analysis, applying specific templates and workflows for different conference stages, unlike a generic text editing or summarization tool.
