The FOCS 2026 CFP schedules no rebuttal, no discussion phase, and no author-visible reviews before decisions (checked 2026-07-08; any informal PC-initiated clarification in a given cycle: 待核实). At a venue with no second turn, "author response" is a set of practices displaced in time: persuasion happens before the deadline, correction happens after the decision, and almost nothing happens in between. This skill covers all three phases.
Focs Author Response is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the deal-management sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/focs-author-response/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when managing author-side communication around a FOCS (IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science) submission, where no rebuttal round exists — discharging objections inside the paper before submission, handling rare chair-mediated queries, and converting a rejection into a disciplined autumn resubmission.
The Focs Author Response Claude Code skill is built for sales development reps, account executives, revenue operations teams, and customer success managers. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 168,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
