Candidate guidance — awaiting static review and behavioral evaluation.

Use and input handling

Compiler guidance (repo2skill template; not repository evidence): route each request through the compiler-authored workflow-selection protocol documented in the Router reference. The routing and orchestration rules are authored by the repo2skill compiler, not by the source repository; the source repository supplies the rebuttal strategies and contribution tips.

Intent classes:

• reviewer-comment-analysis — Analyze the reviewer comments: split into reviewer points, classify topics, judge applicability, and list candidate workflows and missing evidence; no drafting.
• existing-reply-review — Review a user-supplied existing rebuttal draft against the documented pitfalls.
• drafting — Draft rebuttal reply text, only on the user's explicit drafting request.
• tip-organization — Organize a user-supplied tip contribution into the documented four-part card structure.

Routing: split the reviewer comments into individual reviewer points; for each point, judge topic relevance, then applicability, then the user's available evidence and results, and select zero, one, or multiple workflows from the Router route table. Select only workflows documented in this Skill; never call a capability directly.

Execution rules:

• Analysis only: Split, classify, judge applicability, and list candidate workflows and missing evidence; do not draft replies, do not claim a review of a draft that was not supplied, and do not execute draft workflows without a drafting request.
• Existing-reply review: Only claim a reply was reviewed when the user actually supplied it; use wf-review-supplied-reply-for-documented-pitfalls; may point out which drafting workflows could improve the reply, but must not rewrite the reply automatically.
• Drafting: Execute draft workflows only when the user explicitly asks to draft a reply.
• Tip organization: A tip contribution request enters wf-organize-tip-card-contribution directly; do not route it through rebuttal topic selection first.
• Partial failure: Missing material marks that reviewer point's missing evidence and limits only that point's workflow\(s\); other independent points continue; one missing experiment never stops the whole request.

Per-point output protocol: reviewer point; existing reply or not supplied; selected Workflow\(s\); applicability reason; concrete analysis / feedback; requested draft \(only when the user asked to draft\); missing evidence; unresolved items

Required user materials and optional conditions are stated in each scope and step below. If required material is missing, ask for it and pause the affected step; do not infer missing content. Leave decisions that need unavailable information unresolved. Tasks outside the listed goals, scopes, and limitations are unsupported.

Workflow 1: Respond to vague or unlocatable reviewer points

Workflow ID: wf-analyze-reviewer-comments

Goal: Split out the reviewer points that are themselves vague, low-quality, or whose concrete concern cannot be located, and produce for exactly those points the extracted concerns, clarification requests, and per-point results — reviewer point, existing response or missing, selected strategy \(draft-vague-review-response\), applicability reason, feedback or requested draft, missing evidence, unresolved items — without processing any clearly locatable point and without claiming to cover them.

Scope and materials: Applies only when reviewer comments contain points that are themselves vague, low-quality, or whose concrete concern cannot be located; when a group of comments mixes such points with clearly locatable points, this workflow processes only the vague or unlocatable ones. This workflow is not a general analysis entry for all reviewer comments: it responds only to the vague or unlocatable points through draft-vague-review-response, clearly locatable points are excluded from its processing scope and are left to the Skill Router for domain-workflow selection, and this workflow does not match or select domain workflows for any point. When the user supplies no reply draft, no draft review is performed or claimed.

Confidence: high.

Steps (original order):

1. Identify the vague or unlocatable reviewer points and exclude the locatable ones — Split the supplied reviewer comments into individual reviewer points and record which of them are themselves vague, low-quality, or whose concrete concern cannot be located; clearly locatable points are explicitly excluded from this workflow's processing scope and are left to the Skill Router for domain-workflow selection; for each vague or unlocatable point record the user's existing response if any \(otherwise record it as missing\) and which material is missing without assuming it; if no reply draft was supplied, record that no draft review is possible. This workflow does not claim to cover all reviewer points.

1. Respond to the vague or unlocatable points — Apply draft-vague-review-response only to the points identified as vague, low-quality, or unlocatable, within its documented scope: extract and respond item-by-item to every identifiable concern of those points, politely request more specific feedback for the concerns that cannot be located, and, when explaining to the AC, state only facts and evidence without evaluating the reviewer personally; clearly locatable points are not processed in this workflow — their domain workflows are selected by the Skill Router.

1. Organize the vague or unlocatable points' results — Organize only the points this workflow actually processed as: reviewer point; existing response or missing; selected strategy \(draft-vague-review-response\); applicability reason; feedback or requested draft; missing evidence; unresolved items. Do not match, select, or list strategies for clearly locatable points — general multi-point splitting, topic classification, applicability judgment, and workflow selection are the Skill Router's responsibility, not this workflow's. Missing material limits only the point that needs it. This workflow does not claim to have completed a general analysis of all reviewer comments.

Limits and unsupported scope (retained from workflow):

• The AC escalation is conditional \(如需向 AC 说明\), not presented as required in every case.
• This records the repository's own stated caveat, not an independent verification of tip quality.
• This step applies the capability only to the points identified as vague, low-quality, or unlocatable; clearly locatable points are processed by their own domain workflows, not here.
• This step only identifies and records which points are vague or unlocatable; it does not process clearly locatable points, does not draft replies, does not review a draft that was not supplied, and does not substitute example placeholders for the user's facts.
• This step organizes only the vague or unlocatable points this workflow processed; it does not select workflows or strategies for clearly locatable points, does not claim a general all-comment analysis, and missing material limits only the point that needs it.

Workflow 2: Draft a rebuttal reply for a missing-ablation critique

Workflow ID: wf-draft-ablation-evidence-reply

Goal: Draft a reply to a reviewer who asks for ablation evidence by naming what is removed or replaced and the metric each change affects, and by giving real results or a concrete supplement plan, rather than answering that every module is necessary without showing it.

Scope and materials: Applies when a reviewer requests ablation evidence. Requires the user to supply their actual modules and measured values; M1/M2/M3 and XXX are example placeholders, and the example's 补充了/初步结果显示 phrasing is example status, so a plan must not be reported as a completed experiment.

Confidence: high.

Steps (original order):

1. Confirm the critique requests ablation evidence and record the user's module and metric facts — Confirm the reviewer comment requests ablation evidence and check whether the user has supplied their actual module names, metric values, and any completed results; record missing facts rather than substituting the card's M1/M2/M3 and XXX placeholders.

1. Draft the ablation-evidence reply — Apply draft-ablation-evidence-response using the user's real modules and metrics: name what is removed or replaced and the metric each change affects, and give real results or a concrete supplement plan. Keep any supplement as a plan, not a completed experiment.

Limits and unsupported scope (retained from workflow):

• M1/M2/M3 and XXX are example component and metric placeholders, not the user's modules or measured values.
• The preliminary-results phrasing is example status; a plan must not be reported as a completed experiment.
• This records the repository's own stated caveat, not an independent verification of tip quality.
• This step only checks the comment type and input completeness; it does not draft the reply and must not substitute example placeholders for the user's facts.

Workflow 3: Draft a rebuttal for missing-baseline critiques

Workflow ID: wf-draft-baseline-coverage-response

Goal: Draft a reply that explains the compared baselines' coverage and adds comparison experiments or a representativeness justification instead of citing time and resource limits.

Scope and materials: Applies when a reviewer questions baseline coverage. The fallback branch does not promise an actual full additional comparison when it cannot be completed. The workflow drafts this point's reply only: other reviewer points are handled by their own workflows, and an analysis-only request without a drafting request uses the analysis workflow instead.

Confidence: high.

Steps (original order):

1. Confirm the baseline coverage point, the drafting request, and the required material — Confirm the reviewer point concerns baseline coverage \(a topic match rather than a generic negative review\) and that the user asked to draft a reply for this point \(an analysis-only request without a drafting request uses the analysis workflow\); collect the baselines the user already compared and the rationale for their representativeness, or a plan for additional comparison experiments and record which are present and which are missing; check whether the strategy's conditions hold for the user's actual setup \(condition-applicable\) rather than assuming they do; do not substitute the card's example values for the user's facts.

1. Draft the baseline coverage reply — Apply draft-baseline-coverage-response using the user's real facts: explain the coverage of the baselines already compared and either add executable comparison experiments or justify, with algorithmic or logical analysis, why the existing baselines are representative, without using time and resource limits as the main excuse.

1. Organize this reviewer point's result — Organize this reviewer point's result as: reviewer point; existing response or missing; selected strategy \(draft-baseline-coverage-response\); applicability reason; feedback or requested draft; missing evidence; unresolved items. Present the capability's limitations with the result. Missing material limits only this point's steps and does not block other reviewer points, which continue through their own workflows.
