Draft an R&R response letter to a journal decision, sectioned by Senior Editor, Associate Editor, and each reviewer, and check a finished letter before resubmission. TRIGGER on "respond to the referees", "draft the R&R response", "write the R2R", "address the reviewer comments", "respond to the AE", "continue the R2R", "check the R2R letter", or when the user pastes reviewer comments or a decision letter.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Referee response letter

The editor reads this letter with the manuscript open. A pin that says a change is in Section 4
when it is not gets caught immediately, and the cost of that is much higher than the cost of an
honest TODO. So the letter may only say what the manuscript actually says. Step 3 is the point of
this skill: a verification pass sitting between classifying the comments and writing any prose.

## Arguments

- `continue`: extend a partial `R2R_R<n>.tex` already in the project instead of starting fresh.
- `from-email`: input is a pasted decision email (Outlook export, forwarded thread).
- `@path/to/letter.pdf`: the decision letter as a file (`.pdf`, `.txt`, `.docx`, `.md`).
- `--five-q`: opt-in stress test on pushback paragraphs (see below). Combines with the others.

With no argument, the comments are pasted in the message body.

## Finding the project

There is no config file and none should be required. Glob `~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox*/Apps/Overleaf/*/`
(this setup assumes Overleaf projects sync there via Dropbox; adjust to your machine)
and match the user's wording against the directory names; ask once if two fit. Then read what is
actually there:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ericluo04/claude-academic-workflow/referee-response@sha256:7afd94592b2fbc1f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.b89bc04, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
