rebuttal-response

rebuttal-response is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Boom5426/Nature-Paper-Skills. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,400 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for preparing replies to scientific peer reviewers, including point-by-point responses and summaries of manuscript changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft, revise, or check response letters, rebuttals, quoted revisions, and replies covering the manuscript or supplementary information.
Why use it?
It keeps each reply tied to the reviewer’s exact concern and makes clear what was changed, what was found, and where the change appears.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rebuttal-response scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Revise Reviewer Responses

Build reviewer replies for a busy reader. Begin every formal response with a brief expression of thanks to the reviewer. Then make every answer immediately traceable to the reviewer's exact concern: lead with what was done and found, state what it means, and identify where the manuscript changed. Do not make the reviewer infer the mapping, search across paragraphs, or read defensive prose after the answer is already clear.

Start from the authoritative materials

  1. Identify the newest response letter, manuscript, Supplementary Information, figures, tables, and result files relevant to the comment.
  2. Treat the user's stated version hierarchy as binding. Do not revive text or conclusions from an older response when the user says the manuscript or SI is authoritative.
  3. Read the complete reviewer comment and the complete current response before editing either.
  4. Split the comment into independently answerable requests. Preserve the reviewer's own nouns and distinctions, including datasets, methods, comparison units, requested analyses, and claimed outcomes.
  5. Build a private alignment matrix with one row per request:
    • reviewer's exact concern or phrase;
    • direct answer;
    • action or evidence;
    • result;
    • supported conclusion;
    • revision location;
    • essential evidence boundary, if one is genuinely required.
  6. Use the matrix as an acceptance test. Every row must appear explicitly in the response; no paragraph may substitute an adjacent analysis for the requested object.
  7. Never invent a result, statistic, experiment, citation, revision location, or placeholder value. Mark unavailable values explicitly or ask for the missing source.

If the task involves direct document editing, also use the relevant document skill and render the finished file for visual verification.

Analyze before drafting

Unless the user explicitly requests only final prose, begin with a short diagnosis:

  • What is the reviewer actually asking for?
  • Is the concern methodological, evidential, interpretive, presentational, or terminological?
  • Does it require a new experiment, a new analysis of existing results, a clarification, or only narrower wording?
  • What is the strongest conclusion the available evidence supports?
  • What statement in the manuscript, SI, or response must change for the reply to be credible?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

rebuttal-response is a skill published in the GitHub repository Boom5426/Nature-Paper-Skills (490 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 124 tokens to every session and 2,400 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
