Review Response
A systematic review response workflow that helps researchers efficiently and professionally reply to reviewer comments.
Core Features
- Review Analysis - Parse and classify reviewer comments (Major/Minor/Typo/Misunderstanding)
- Response Strategy - Develop response strategies for different comment types (Accept/Defend/Clarify/Experiment)
- Rebuttal Writing - Write structured, professional rebuttal documents
- Tone Management - Optimize tone to maintain professionalism, respect, and evidence-based arguments
Workflow
Receive reviewer comments -> Parse and classify -> Develop strategy -> Write responses -> Tone check -> Final rebuttal
When to Use
Use this skill when you need to:
- "Help me write a rebuttal"
- "How to respond to reviewer comments"
- "Analyze these review comments"
- "Develop a review response strategy"
Usage Steps
- Provide reviewer comments - Share the reviewer comments text or file with Claude
- Analysis and classification - Claude automatically parses and classifies the comments
- Strategy recommendations - Receive response strategy suggestions for each comment
- Write rebuttal - Generate a structured rebuttal document based on the strategy
- Optimize tone - Review and optimize the professionalism and politeness of responses
Core Principles
- Professionalism - Maintain an academically professional tone and expression
- Respectfulness - Respect the reviewers' opinions and time
- Evidence-based - Support every response with sufficient reasoning and evidence
- Completeness - Ensure all reviewer comments receive a response
Success Factors (Based on ICLR Spotlight Paper Analysis)
Key lessons extracted from successful rebuttal cases:
1. Acknowledge Strengths, Respond Positively to Criticism
- Reviewers will first acknowledge the paper's strengths (novelty, impact, practical applicability)
- Even spotlight papers receive constructive criticism
- Strategy: Thank reviewers for acknowledged strengths first, then address criticism specifically
2. Provide Clarity and Intuitive Understanding
- Even high-quality papers may have clarity issues
- Need to provide intuition and detailed explanations for readers with different backgrounds
- Strategy: Expand key sections, move technical details to appendix, add step-by-step walkthroughs
3. Thorough Justification of Experimental Setup
- Need to justify experimental setup choices
- Consider and discuss alternative metrics
- Provide comprehensive experiments to support claims
- Strategy: Add ablation studies, explain why specific experimental setups were chosen
4. Emphasis on Ethical Considerations
- For research involving privacy, security, and other sensitive topics, ethical considerations are crucial
- Reviewers pay special attention to ethical implications
- Strategy: Proactively discuss ethical considerations, even if reviewers don't explicitly request it
5. Highlight Practical Application Value
- Reviewers value practical applicability and scalability of methods
- "Easily applicable" and "scalable" are important strengths
- Strategy: Emphasize practical benefits and scalability in the rebuttal
Integration with paper-miner global writing memory
When the rebuttal task involves:
- tone calibration,
- rebuttal phrasing,
- clarification language,
- structuring multi-point responses,
- or learning from strong prior paper/review writing,
read this file before drafting:
~/.claude/skills/ml-paper-writing/references/knowledge/paper-miner-writing-memory.md
Default read order for rebuttal work
- reviewer comments and paper context
paper-miner-writing-memory.mdreferences/response-strategies.mdreferences/rebuttal-templates.mdreferences/tone-guidelines.md
Read narrowly:
- start with
How this helps our writing, - then inspect
Reusable phrasing, - then inspect
Venue-specific signalsif the rebuttal is venue-sensitive, - use
Writing patterns minedonly when the response needs stronger rhetorical structure.
Do not quote the memory mechanically. Use it to improve structure, clarity, restraint, and professionalism.

Conduct rigorous thematic analysis (TA) of qualitative data following Braun and Clarke's (2006) six-phase framework. Use whenever the user mentions 'thematic analysis', 'TA', 'Braun and Clarke', 'qualitative coding', 'identifying themes', or asks for help analysing interviews, focus groups, open-ended survey responses, or transcripts to identify patterns. Also trigger for questions about inductive vs theoretical coding, semantic vs latent themes, essentialist vs constructionist epistemology, building a thematic map, or writing up a qualitative findings section. Covers all six phases, the four upfront analytic decisions, the 15-point quality checklist, and the five common pitfalls. Produces a Word document write-up and an annotated thematic map. Does NOT cover IPA, grounded theory, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, or narrative analysis — use a different method for those.

Guide users through writing a systematic literature review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 framework. Use this skill whenever the user mentions 'systematic review', 'systematic literature review', 'SLR', 'PRISMA', 'PRISMA 2020', 'PRISMA flow diagram', 'PRISMA checklist', or asks for help writing, structuring, or auditing a literature review that follows reporting guidelines. Also trigger when the user asks about inclusion/exclusion criteria for a review, search strategies for databases like Scopus/WoS/PubMed, study selection processes, risk of bias assessment, or narrative synthesis for a review paper. This skill covers the full PRISMA 2020 checklist (27 items), produces a Word document manuscript in strict journal article format, generates an annotated PRISMA flow diagram, and enforces APA 7th Edition referencing throughout. It does NOT cover meta-analysis or statistical pooling. By Chuah Kee Man.
