Classify: major revision, minor revision, question, suggestion
Map to affected paper section(s)
Prioritize: address major concerns first
Step 2: Plan Revisions
Create a revision plan:
Concern → Affected Section → Required Action → New Content/Experiment
Categories of actions:
Clarification
Rewrite text for clarity
Additional experiment
Run new experiment, add results
New analysis
Add ablation, statistical test, or comparison
Structural change
Move, merge, or split sections
Citation
Add missing references
Step 3: Execute Revisions
For each planned revision:
Read the current section
Apply targeted edits (preserve surrounding structure)
If new experiments needed: use experiment-code skill
If new figures/tables needed: use figure-generation / table-generation skills
Mark changes (use
\textcolor{blue}{...}
for revised text)
Step 4: Verify Improvements
Re-run self-review skill to check if scores improved
Verify all reviewer concerns are addressed
Check that revisions don't introduce new issues
Ensure page count still fits venue requirements
Step 5: Write Revision Summary
Generate a diff summary:
List all changes made with section references
Note any new experiments, figures, or tables added
Cross-reference each change to the reviewer concern it addresses
Rules
Address EVERY reviewer concern — do not skip any
Preserve paper structure unless structural change is explicitly needed
New results must come from actual experiments, not hallucinated
Mark all revised text clearly for the reviewers
Keep a copy of the previous version before revising
Compare new scores vs previous scores after revision
