Rebuttal

Use this skill when the quest is in review, revision, or rebuttal mode.

This is not the same as ordinary write. The task is no longer “draft the paper from evidence”. The task is “respond to concrete reviewer pressure with the smallest honest set of experiments, text changes, claim adjustments, and response artifacts”.

Interaction discipline

• Follow the shared interaction contract injected by the system prompt.
• For ordinary active work, prefer a concise progress update once work has crossed roughly 6 tool calls with a human-meaningful delta, and do not drift beyond roughly 12 tool calls or about 8 minutes without a user-visible update.
• Message templates are references only. Adapt to the actual context and vary wording so updates feel natural and non-robotic.
• If a threaded user reply arrives, interpret it relative to the latest rebuttal progress update before assuming the task changed completely.
• When the rebuttal plan, the main supplementary-evidence package, or the final response bundle becomes durable, send one richer artifact.interact(kind='milestone', reply_mode='threaded', ...) update that says what reviewer concerns are now addressed, what still remains open, and what happens next.
• Hard execution rule: if this stage needs terminal work such as manuscript builds, scripted checks, Git inspection, or reviewer-linked experiment launches, every such command must go through bash_exec.
