A skill your agent uses when drafting the response letter and revision plan after an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) R&R.

  • Drafting the response letter and revision plan after an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) R&R

What it does

Aejmic Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting the response letter and revision plan after an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) R&R. Structures the reply to theory referees (correctness, generality, exposition) and editor; it does not re-derive the result (see aejmic-theory-model).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Drafting the response letter and revision plan after an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) R&R
  • Tasks that involve Peer review

Example prompts

  • “/aejmic-rebuttal”

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

Aejmic Rebuttal loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 646 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

R&R Rebuttal & Response Letter (aejmic-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • An AEJ: Micro decision letter arrived with an R&R (minor or major)
  • You have referee reports and need a response-letter strategy
  • A referee disputes a proof, the generality, or the framing and you must decide concede vs. defend
  • You are sequencing the revision so the most important changes land first

How to respond to theory referees

AEJ: Micro referees are subject-matter experts who verify proofs and judge generality and exposition. The response letter must be precise, respectful, and point-by-point. Three recurring axes:

  • Correctness: a disputed proof step. Either fix it (and show the corrected argument in the letter), or demonstrate the step is valid with the missing detail. Never wave it away.
  • Generality / robustness: "does it extend to X?" Decide whether to (a) prove the extension, (b) add it to aejmic-robustness as a result, or (c) explain precisely why the boundary is where it is and add a remark. State the cost of each.
  • Exposition / scope: "the mechanism is buried" or "the claim is too broad." Re-frame via aejmic-writing-style and bound the claim explicitly.
Letter structure
  • A short cover note to the editor summarizing the main changes and how the central concern was met.
  • Point-by-point replies: quote the comment, state the change, point to the page/line and the new/updated proposition or proof.
  • Concede gracefully where the referee is right; defend with argument (not assertion) where you disagree, and offer a compromise (a remark, a restricted claim) when full concession is wrong.
  • Keep a changelog of every result that moved (new propositions, relabeled lemmas, added extensions).
Triage the reports before drafting

Not all comments carry equal weight. Sort them:

  • Central (editor-flagged): the concern the editor named as decisive — resolve it first and lead the cover note with it.
  • Correctness blockers: any disputed proof or claim — must be fully closed, never deferred.
  • Generality requests: decide per comment whether to prove, add a robustness result, or bound with a precise argument.
  • Exposition / framing: usually cheap to grant; granting them buys goodwill for the points you defend.
Reading the decision letter
  • A minor R&R means the result stands; tighten and answer. A major R&R means at least one referee doubts the contribution or a proof — treat the central concern as the gate to acceptance.
  • Distinguish what the editor requires (binding) from what a single referee merely suggests (negotiable). Address all, but prioritize by the editor's framing.
Show full SKILL.md (246 more words)Show less

Checklist

  • Cover note to the editor: main changes + how the central concern was addressed
  • Every referee comment answered point-by-point with a page/line pointer
  • Disputed proof steps fixed or rigorously defended (no hand-waving)
  • Each "does it extend?" met by a proof, a new robustness result, or a precise boundary argument
  • Claims re-bounded where a referee found them too broad
  • Concede where right; defend with argument where not; offer compromises
  • Changelog of moved/added results kept for the editor and referees
  • Replication package / proof appendix updated to match the revision

Anti-patterns

  • "We thank the referee and have addressed this" with no concrete change or pointer
  • Defending a disputed proof step by restating it instead of completing it
  • Adding every requested extension uncritically, bloating the paper (curate via aejmic-robustness)
  • Conceding a correct result under pressure when a bounded claim was the right answer
  • Letting the proof appendix or deposited code drift out of sync with the revised results

Worked vignette (illustrative)

Referee 1 disputes the uniqueness claim; Referee 2 asks for a continuum extension; the editor wants the contribution sharpened. Strategy: (1) Correctness — uniqueness held only under a tie-breaking rule, so restrict the claim to "essentially unique" and prove it, conceding the over-statement. (2) Generality — the continuum extension survives, so add it as Proposition 5 and cite it in the letter. (3) Scope — rewrite the intro to foreground the broad mechanism. The cover note tells the editor the central concern (uniqueness) is resolved by a precise, defensible restatement.

Output format

【Decision】minor / major R&R
【Editor cover note】central concern + how met
【Point-by-point】each comment → change → page/line + result pointer
【Correctness】disputed steps fixed/defended? [Y/N]
【Generality】extend / new result / boundary argument — chosen per comment
【Concede vs. defend】log of each call
【Changelog + package sync】results that moved; appendix/code updated? [Y/N]
【Next step】resubmit via AEA system with the point-by-point response letter
