dac-author-response

Use when handling reviewer feedback for an ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) Research Manuscript — writing a concise, evidence-first rebuttal IF the cycle runs an author-response period (verify; DAC has historically not), and otherwise converting DAC reviews into a targeted response-to-reviewers when rerouting a rejected paper to ICCAD, DATE, ASP-DAC, or a journal.

# DAC Author Response

Handle reviews with DAC's process in mind. The single most important fact: DAC's Research-Manuscript
review has **historically been TPC-driven without an author rebuttal period**, and whether the
current cycle runs one is **待核实** (`resources/official-source-map.md`). So this skill covers two
situations, and the second is the common one.

## Situation A — the cycle runs a response period (verify first)

If — and only if — the live DAC cycle offers an author response, treat it as a **short, factual
correction channel**, not a debate. EDA reviewers reject mostly on **baseline fairness, benchmark
credibility, and scalability**; a response moves a borderline paper when it supplies a *number* or
corrects a *factual misreading*, and moves nothing when it argues taste.
