Guides writing effective rebuttals after receiving peer review feedback. Covers review diagnosis (score-driven color-coding), response strategy (champion identification, common-theme consolidation), tactical writing (18 rules), and counterintuitive rebuttal principles. Use when: user received reviewer scores/comments, needs to write a rebuttal or author response, wants to respond to specific criticism (e.g. 'limited novelty', 'missing baselines'), mentions 'rebuttal', 'reviewer comments', 'author response', or 'respond to reviewers'. Do NOT use for pre-submission self-review (use paper-review instead).

# Paper Rebuttal

A systematic approach to writing rebuttals after receiving peer review feedback. The goal is not to defend every point — it's to move scores by addressing the concerns that actually drive them.

## When to Use This Skill

- User received reviewer comments and needs to write a rebuttal
- User asks how to respond to specific reviewer criticism
- User wants to analyze reviews strategically before responding
- User mentions "rebuttal", "reviewer comments", "review feedback", "respond to reviewers"

> For pre-submission self-review and catching weaknesses before they become reviewer complaints, use the `paper-review` skill.
