rt-response-to-referees

Use after an R&R (or the simulated rehearsal) to turn a referee report into a point-by-point response letter plus a revision plan — editor first, every comment answered, each empirical fix backed by a real re-run via the target pack's skill and the execution bridge. Defers the venue's response format to the pack + source-map.

# Response-to-Referees (rt-response-to-referees)

Draft the reply that decides the second round. Full method:
[`shared-resources/submission-readiness/response-to-referees.md`](../../../shared-resources/submission-readiness/response-to-referees.md).

## When to trigger

- An R&R letter has arrived and needs a point-by-point response + revision.
- You want to convert `rt-simulated-referee` output into a rehearsed reply.

## What it does

1. **Inventory every comment** (per referee + AE), tag major/minor, substantive/clarification.
2. **Editor first** — lead with the AE's decisive concerns.
