What it does
Aerj Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when writing the response to an American Educational Research Journal (AERJ) revise-and-resubmit. AERJ R&Rs come back through the handling editor and multiple masked reviewers, so the response must convert each reviewer while keeping the editor confident the revision is convergent. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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.

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
Aerj Rebuttal loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 633 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.

- description
- Use when writing the response to an American Educational Research Journal (AERJ) revise-and-resubmit. AERJ R&Rs come back through the handling editor and multiple masked reviewers, so the response must convert each reviewer while keeping the editor confident the revision is convergent. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.
R&R Rebuttal (aerj-rebuttal)
An AERJ R&R is a strong signal — but acceptance generally needs the handling editor satisfied and the reviewers moved toward yes. The response letter must address every comment, defend the contribution, and keep the revision coherent. The editor adjudicates; reviewers advise.
When to trigger
- An R&R decision arrived and you are planning the revision + response letter
- Reviewers disagree with each other and you must reconcile their demands
- A reviewer requests analyses or reframing that would change the paper's claims
- Writing the cover note to the handling editor summarizing the revision
Strategy
- Read the editor's letter as the rubric. The handling editor signals which points are decisive. Solve those first; the editor adjudicates disagreements among reviewers.
- One point-by-point response, every comment addressed. Quote each comment, then respond. Never skip one — silence reads as non-compliance.
- Concede or rebut explicitly, with evidence. For each: did what was asked (say where, with the new text/table number), or push back respectfully with a reason (framework, design, or evidence). A well-argued disagreement beats a hollow capitulation that weakens the paper.
- Reconcile conflicting reviewers openly. When R2 wants the opposite of R3, say so, choose a principled path, and explain the tradeoff to the editor. Don't silently satisfy one and ignore the other.
- Protect the contribution. Add robustness, clarify scope, strengthen the framework — but resist changes that dilute the broad-significance claim that earned the R&R. Defend scope conditions rather than over-claiming.
- Keep masking and standards intact. The revised manuscript stays anonymized; update analyses,
exhibits, and the data/reporting materials so everything remains reproducible and standards-compliant
(see
aerj-transparency-and-data-policy).
Response-letter format
For each reviewer comment:
> [Quoted reviewer comment]
Response: [What we did / why we respectfully disagree].
Change: [Section/page/table-figure number where the revision appears].Open with a short summary of the main changes to the handling editor; group by reviewer; end each per-comment entry with the location of every change so the editor can verify quickly.
Anti-patterns
- Ignoring or merging away a comment without a visible response
- Capitulating to a request that breaks the paper's logic just to please a reviewer
- Defensive or dismissive tone toward reviewers
- "We thank the reviewer" with no actual change or argued reason
- Adding analyses that quietly contradict the original claim without acknowledging it
- Letting the revised manuscript or exhibits drift out of sync with the data/reporting materials, or reintroducing identifying details that break masking

Triaging reviewer comments (concede/rebut grid)
The handling editor adjudicates, so the letter must signal which comments you accepted and which you contested on principle. Sort each comment into this grid first.
| Comment type | Default move | Editor wants |
|---|---|---|
| Editor's decisive point | Solve fully, first | The change + location |
| Reasonable analysis request | Concede; add it | New result + location |
| Request that breaks the logic | Rebut respectfully | Defense from the design |
| Reviewers want opposites | Pick a principled path | The tradeoff named |
| Minor/cosmetic | Concede in revision | A clean manuscript |
Worked rebuttal vignette (illustrative)
An AERJ R&R on a classroom-discussion intervention returns three reviewers. R1 wants the illustrative 0.19 SD effect re-estimated with school fixed effects; R2 wants the qualitative strand cut; R3 wants it expanded. The editor's letter names integration as decisive. The response concedes R1 (the estimate holds at 0.17 SD) and reconciles R2/R3: cutting the strand would break the integration the editor wants, so the authors expand it and explain the tradeoff. That visible reasoning — not capitulation to every voice — keeps the editor confident.
Pushback patterns and the convergent-revision fix
- "You ignored a comment." → Quote and answer every one; silence reads as non-compliance.
- "You capitulated and weakened the paper." → Defend scope conditions with evidence rather than diluting the broad-significance claim that earned the R&R.
- "The revision drifted out of sync." → Re-anonymize and re-sync exhibits and reporting materials; confirm resubmission steps against the journal's current submission guidelines.
