Use when handling author-side dialogue in an OSDI cycle — which in 2026 means no rebuttal at all: pre-empting objections inside the submission, then treating the conditional-accept shepherd exchange as the real author response, with a protocol for mandated revisions and for cycles that reinstate a response phase.

# OSDI Author Response

At most venues this skill would draft a rebuttal. At OSDI '26 there was **no
author-response period** (verified 2026-07-08) — a deliberate removal, since earlier
OSDI cycles had one. The author's voice therefore appears at exactly two points:
**before submission**, inside the paper, and **after a conditional accept**, in the
shepherding exchange. This skill covers both, plus the fallback if a future cycle
reinstates a response phase (待核实 each year — check the current CFP's process
section first, always).

## Phase 1: the rebuttal you write in advance

Since no clarification channel will exist between December and March, run a
