These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

review-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 7d 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.

Review Response

A systematic review response workflow that helps researchers efficiently and professionally reply to reviewer comments.

Core Features

  1. Review Analysis - Parse and classify reviewer comments (Major/Minor/Typo/Misunderstanding)
  2. Response Strategy - Develop response strategies for different comment types (Accept/Defend/Clarify/Experiment)
  3. Rebuttal Writing - Write structured, professional rebuttal documents
  4. 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

  1. Provide reviewer comments - Share the reviewer comments text or file with Claude
  2. Analysis and classification - Claude automatically parses and classifies the comments
  3. Strategy recommendations - Receive response strategy suggestions for each comment
  4. Write rebuttal - Generate a structured rebuttal document based on the strategy
  5. 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

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.
