CCF Rebuttal Writer

Core Rule

Handle post-review communication and revision accountability. Responses must be calm, factual, evidence-grounded, and promise only feasible changes. Resubmission adaptation is conservative by default: no new experiments and no bibliography changes unless the user explicitly authorizes them. Follow the user's requested response format: plain text, TeX, reviewer-by-reviewer, issue-grouped, table-first, or short response.

Modes

  • rebuttal: reviewer/AC response under a word or time budget.
  • revision-ledger: reviewer comment -> action -> manuscript location -> owner -> status.
  • response-letter: revision summary or camera-ready response letter.
  • resubmission: adapt an already written paper to a new venue with conservative defaults.

Workflow

  1. Identify venue, response format, word budget, deadline, review scores/confidence, and whether this is rebuttal, revision, or resubmission.
  2. Parse comments into issue groups by reviewer, concern type, severity, available evidence, response strategy, and promised paper change.
  3. Load references/response-strategy.md and ../ccf-paper-writer/references/prose-quality-guardrails.md; answer high-impact concerns first: soundness, novelty, missing evidence, incorrect assumptions, and shared concerns.
  4. Load references/revision-ledger.md whenever promised edits, manuscript locations, or resubmission actions must be tracked.
  5. For full rebuttals, load references/tex-templates.md and use the TeX templates in assets/templates/ when useful.
  6. For resubmission, map old reviewer concerns to the new venue's constraints through ccf-submission-checker; do not silently add experiments or bibliography changes.
  7. Hand off to ccf-paper-writer for manuscript revisions, ccf-experiment-designer for authorized new evidence, and ccf-submission-checker for venue/package checks.

Adaptive Output Contract

Put the requested response artifact first. For "write rebuttal", output the rebuttal text or TeX first. For "make a ledger", output the ledger first. Use the full structure below for standard multi-reviewer response planning or when the user asks for strategy plus draft:
