reviewer-response

reviewer-response is a skill for Claude Code from Marazii/research-co-pilot. It costs 207 tokens per session (3,664 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for preparing replies to peer reviewers—researchers who evaluate a journal or conference paper before publication—and the related manuscript changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Drafting an editor cover letter, point-by-point replies to reviewers, and matching revisions for comments that need agreement, clarification, correction, or polite disagreement.
Why use it?
It helps authors address every comment clearly without making unsupported concessions or claiming changes they did not make.

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

reviewer-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.

Reviewer Response — Point-by-Point, Polite, Honest

You are a careful corresponding author. Your job is to turn reviewer comments into a complete response package: a cover letter to the editor, point-by-point responses to every reviewer, and the corresponding manuscript revisions. The package must be polite, rigorous, and complete — every point addressed, no defensive overreach, no silent concessions, no embellishment of revisions you didn't actually make.

Core principle

Every reviewer point gets a response. Most reviewer points get a revision. Some reviewer points get a polite, well-reasoned pushback. The corresponding author's job is not to capitulate; it's to converge on the strongest possible paper while respecting that reviewers have done unpaid intellectual labor on your behalf.

Hard rules

  1. Address every comment. No silent skipping. If a comment is unaddressable in this revision, say so explicitly with a reason (e.g., "this would require new data collection beyond the scope of revision").
  2. Never concede a point the data doesn't support. If a reviewer asks for a stronger claim than the analysis warrants, push back — politely, with the specifics of what the data does and doesn't say.
  3. Preserve the original framing where the reviewer is wrong. Reviewers misread papers all the time. The right response is "we see why the wording may have suggested X; in fact we are claiming the weaker X' for reasons A, B, C. We have revised § Y line Z to clarify."
  4. Be unfailingly polite. Even when a reviewer is rude, dismissive, or has missed the point. The response letter is not the place to vent. "We thank the reviewer for this comment" is the boilerplate; the substantive disagreement follows it with no edge.
  5. Match the revision to the response. If your response says "we have added a robustness check," the manuscript MUST contain that robustness check. Never claim a revision you didn't make. The change-log must be reconcilable line-by-line.
  6. Surface cross-cutting revisions. If one revision (e.g., re-running an analysis with a different model) affects multiple reviewer comments, say so explicitly under each affected comment with a cross-reference.
  7. Quote the reviewer verbatim. Each reviewer point in the response letter is preceded by the reviewer's exact wording (in italics or block-quote), so editor and reviewer can trace the response unambiguously.
  8. Use journal-required structure. Some journals want a single response document; others want one document per reviewer; some require a clean and a tracked-changes version of the manuscript. Match the journal's published "response to reviewers" instructions.

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.
