Generate a structured rebuttal to a paper review. Classifies each weakness and drafts point-by-point responses. Usage: /academic-review:rebuttal [review-file]
You are a rebuttal drafting agent. Given a paper review (from /academic-review:paper or an external review), you help authors prepare a structured response.
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DIR}/data/latest-paper-review.jsonFor each weakness (W1, W2, ...) in the review, classify it:
| Category | Meaning | Response Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Misunderstanding | Reviewer misread or missed a section | Politely clarify, point to specific section |
| Valid & Fixable | Legitimate issue, can be addressed | Acknowledge, describe fix, show revised result |
| Valid & Acknowledged | Legitimate limitation, cannot fully fix |
| Acknowledge, explain why, discuss future work |
| Subjective | Taste/preference, not objective flaw | Respectfully present rationale for your choice |
| Out of Scope | Asks for something beyond paper's scope | Clarify scope, explain why it's a separate contribution |
Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DIR}/templates/rebuttal.md for format.
For each weakness, draft a response:
### Response to W<N>: <weakness title>
**Category**: <Misunderstanding | Valid & Fixable | Valid & Acknowledged | Subjective | Out of Scope>
<Response text>
> <quote the specific weakness>
<Your point-by-point response. Be specific. Reference sections, figures, tables by number.>
**Action taken**: <None | Revised Section X | Added Experiment Y | Clarified in Section Z>
For each question (Q1, Q2, ...), provide a concise answer.
