Every reviewer comment in one table, sorted by effort, with responses drafted.

## Example request

We received a major revision with 31 comments from three reviewers. Put each comment in a table with the section it refers to, sort them into quick fixes, new analyses, and points we disagree with, and draft a response to each quick fix quoting the revised text. Keep a checklist of what is done and remind my co-author and me every Monday until we resubmit.

## Workflow

1. Extract every reviewer comment with the section it refers to.
2. Sort comments by the work each needs and draft responses to quick fixes.
3. Track progress and send a weekly reminder until resubmission.

## Result

A response letter taking shape and a checklist that shows what is left.

## Human review

The authors decide how to answer each reviewer and approve the final letter.

## Collaboration

Assign analyses to co-authors with the reviewer comment attached.
