What it does
Aeja Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) decision letter arrives (R&R or conditional accept) and a response-to-referees letter plus a revision plan must be drafted. Plans and structures the response; it does not run the new analysis (aeja-identification / aeja-robustness) or the submission preflight.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Econometrics and empirical research and Peer review. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. ｜ 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Aeja Rebuttal loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 556 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Rebuttal & Response Letter (aeja-rebuttal)
When to trigger
- An AEJ: Applied R&R or conditional acceptance decision letter has arrived
- You need to triage referee comments into must-do / argue / defer
- You are drafting the response-to-referees document and revision plan
- A reject-and-resubmit invitation needs a strategy before re-engaging
How to read an AEJ: Applied decision
The editor's letter is the priority signal: it tells you which referee concerns are binding and which are optional. At AEJ: Applied the binding asks are almost always about design credibility (the identification, robustness, inference) before exposition. Address the editor's stated priorities first and in full; treat the referee reports as the menu the editor has already filtered. A revision is judged on whether the identification concerns are genuinely resolved, not on volume of new tables.
Response-letter structure
- Opening summary — thank the editor/referees; state the 3–5 substantive changes that define the revision (lead with the identification/robustness changes).
- Point-by-point — quote each comment, then respond with: what you did, where in the paper (section/table/page), and the result. Use a consistent format per point.
- Tone — gracious, concrete, non-defensive. Concede valid points fully; where you disagree, argue with evidence, not assertion.
- Triage discipline — every comment gets one of: done (changed + located), partially done (with reason), or respectfully declined (with an evidence-based argument). No comment is ignored.
- Highlight the decisive evidence — if a referee doubted the design, show the new heterogeneity-robust estimate / honest-DID bound / falsification result explicitly and quote the new number with its SE.
Triage table
| Referee ask | Default response |
|---|---|
| Core identification doubt (binding per editor) | do it in full; show the new estimate + SE; update the paper |
| Robustness/inference request | run it; report stability of the point estimate |
| External-validity / estimand | add a calibrated scope statement; do not overclaim |
| Additional outcome/subgroup | run with MHT adjustment; or argue why it is out of scope |
| Exposition / framing | revise; cheap to do, builds goodwill |
| Out-of-scope new paper | respectfully decline with a one-line reason |

Checklist
- Editor's stated priorities identified and addressed first, in full
- Every referee comment answered: done / partial / declined — none ignored
- Each "done" response cites the exact section/table/page and the new result
- Decisive identification/robustness evidence quoted with numbers and SEs
- Tone gracious and concrete; disagreements argued with evidence
- Replication package updated to match the revised exhibits (
aeja-replication-package) - A short cover note to the editor summarizing how the binding concerns were resolved
Worked vignette (illustrative)
Referee 2 says the staggered-DID estimate is biased and the parallel-trends story is thin; the editor's letter flags this as the binding concern. A weak response argues that TWFE "should be fine here." The AEJ: Applied response: re-estimate with Callaway–Sant'Anna, report the new ATT of 3.1pp (s.e. 0.9, vs. 3.6pp under TWFE), add the event-study leads and a Goodman-Bacon decomposition, and run an honest-DID bound — then in the letter quote the new number, cite the exact figure/table, and note the conclusion is unchanged but now robust. The editor sees the binding concern fully resolved with evidence, not assertion.
Anti-patterns
- Answering the referees but ignoring the editor's prioritization
- Defensive or dismissive tone; arguing by assertion instead of new evidence
- Claiming a change without saying where in the paper it landed
- Adding a wall of new tables that dodges the actual identification concern
- Letting the replication package drift out of sync with the revised paper
- Silently dropping a comment you found inconvenient
