wsdm-author-response
Use when planning author-side communication for WSDM, a venue that historically runs no rebuttal - covers preemptive objection engineering inside the submitted PDF, the narrow legitimate channels to chairs after submission, reading reviews you cannot answer, and converting a rejection into a stronger next-cycle or sibling-venue submission.

# WSDM Author Response
At most ML and data-mining venues this skill would script a rebuttal. WSDM is
different: the venue historically runs **no author response phase** - a fact
documented as far back as the 2017 reviewing experiment conducted at the
conference itself, and consistent with the short review window (August
submission, October notification in the 2026 cycle). Plan as if you will never
speak to your reviewers. If the current edition's CFP announces a response
phase, that instruction supersedes everything here; check it first.
## Preemptive rebuttal: the objection inventory
Since answers must ship inside the PDF, build the rebuttal *before* submission.
