revise SKILL.md skillA

revise from aperivue/medsci-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/revise@git:20261005.3b14ae2

Pins git:20261005.3b14ae2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a manuscript comes back with reviewer or editor comments. Numbers every comment, classifies it MAJOR/MINOR/REBUTTAL, drafts a point-by-point response with tracked manuscript changes, routes new analyses to /analyze-stats and writes the cover 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

# Revision Skill -- Response to Peer Reviewers

## Activation

When the user provides reviewer comments (pasted text, PDF, or file path) or asks to revise a manuscript, confirm before proceeding:

1. The reviewer decision letter (pasted text or file path)
2. The current manuscript file (`manuscript/manuscript.md`)
3. The revision round number (default: R1)
4. The journal name (affects cover letter format)

---

## Step 1: Parse and Number All Comments

Read the full decision letter. Extract every discrete comment from every reviewer and the editor.

### Numbering Convention

```
E-1, E-2, ...       <- Editor comments
R1-1, R1-2, ...     <- Reviewer 1 comments
R2-1, R2-2, ...     <- Reviewer 2 comments
R3-1, R3-2, ...     <- Reviewer 3 (if present)
```

If a reviewer groups multiple requests in one paragraph, split them into sub-items: `R1-3a, R1-3b, R1-3c`

### Classification

| Type | Symbol | Definition |
|------|--------|------------|
| **MAJOR** | `[MAJ]` | Requires new experiment, re-analysis, new figure/table, or substantial structural rewrite |
| **MINOR** | `[MIN]` | Requires text revision, clarification, formatting change, or additional citation |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/revise@sha256:2cc398fb7367ac23

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.3b14ae2, 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.
