Drafts structured, double-anonymous ESEC/FSE conference author rebuttals and journal-style Major Revision response letters.

Designed for software engineering researchers submitting to ACM ESEC/FSE and PACMSE, this skill guides authors through the distinct phases of peer review responses, including concise initial rebuttals and exhaustive Major Revision response letters. It enforces strict double-anonymity, generates detailed change ledgers mapping reviewer critiques to concrete paper edits, resolves common empirical pushbacks, and ensures no reviewer concern is left unaddressed during re-review.
