What it does
Cps Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when responding to a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) revise-and-resubmit decision — structuring the response letter to multiple anonymous reviewers and the editor. Plans the revision and response; it does not fabricate results or relitigate the decision.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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
- Tasks that involve Peer review
Example prompts
- “/cps-rebuttal”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Opening synthesis. Thank the editor/reviewers; state the 3–4 biggest changes in a short paragraph
- Point-by-point. Reproduce each comment verbatim, then Response (what you did) and Location
- Show, don't assert. Quote new text, name the new exhibit, give the new estimate — don't just say
- Handle disagreement. Where reviewers conflict, state the trade-off and your principled choice;
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
Cps Rebuttal loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 580 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 responding to a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) revise-and-resubmit decision — structuring the response letter to multiple anonymous reviewers and the editor. Plans the revision and response; it does not fabricate results or relitigate the decision.
Rebuttal & R&R Response (cps-rebuttal)
An R&R is a contract: address every point from each reviewer and the editor, show what changed, and point to where. CPS reviewers are comparativists; they care most about comparative leverage, the rival explanations, measurement across cases, and inference. Treat the letter as a navigable document the editor can verify against the revised manuscript.
When to trigger
- A decision letter arrives with reviewer reports (R&R, or major/minor revisions)
- Planning the revision and the point-by-point response
- Reviewers disagree with each other and you must reconcile their demands
- A reviewer asks for analyses that would change the paper's identification or scope
Response-letter structure
- Opening synthesis. Thank the editor/reviewers; state the 3–4 biggest changes in a short paragraph so the editor sees the shape of the revision immediately.
- Point-by-point. Reproduce each comment verbatim, then Response (what you did) and Location (section/table/page). Number them (R1.1, R1.2, …) for easy cross-reference.
- Show, don't assert. Quote new text, name the new exhibit, give the new estimate — don't just say "we have addressed this."
- Handle disagreement. Where reviewers conflict, state the trade-off and your principled choice; ask the editor to adjudicate if needed. Where you decline a change, give a reasoned, evidence-based defense — politely, without relitigating the decision.
CPS-specific revision priorities
- Comparative leverage / travel. If a reviewer doubts the comparison or generalization, strengthen
the design argument or the scope conditions (
cps-research-design,cps-theory-building) — do not just add caveats. - Rival explanations. New robustness or case evidence that adjudicates the rival the reviewer raised; state the adjudication sentence explicitly.
- Measurement across cases. If asked, show robustness to alternative codings (V-Dem/Polity/etc.) and defend comparability.
- Inference. Add few-cluster corrections, randomization inference, or multiple-testing adjustments if challenged; report honest CIs.
- Transparency. Update the replication package and data availability statement to match every new
result (
cps-transparency-and-data).

Reviewer coalition map
Before writing the response, classify comments by reviewer role rather than by report order:
| Reviewer concern | Typical request | Revision move |
|---|---|---|
| Theory/comparative contribution | Clarify what travels beyond the cases | Rewrite the contribution paragraph and scope conditions |
| Design/identification | Explain comparison, timing, or assignment | Add design schematic, placebo, or rival-specific test |
| Measurement | Defend cross-national coding or construct validity | Add alternative coding, measurement appendix, or limitation |
| Area expertise | Fix case history, regional literature, or institutional detail | Add precise citations and qualify overgeneralization |
| Transparency | Make data/code/evidence auditable | Update Dataverse package, README, appendix, and data statement |
Use the map to reconcile conflicts. If one reviewer wants broader theory and another wants narrower case precision, the response should say how the revision sharpens the scope condition rather than simply expanding both sections.
Checklist
- Every reviewer and editor point has a numbered Response + Location
- Opening synthesis lists the major changes up front
- New text/exhibits/estimates quoted, not merely described
- Reviewer disagreements reconciled with a stated, principled choice
- Declined requests answered with evidence, not defensiveness
- Comparative leverage / rival / measurement / inference concerns addressed substantively
- Replication package and data availability statement updated to match the revision
- Revised manuscript still within the word limit and anonymized
Anti-patterns
- Cosmetic edits dressed up as substantive responses ("we have clarified this")
- Ignoring or merging away a reviewer's point without acknowledgment
- Defensive or dismissive tone; relitigating the decision instead of answering it
- Adding caveats where the reviewer asked for design/identification work
- New results in the letter that the deposited code no longer reproduces
- Letting the revision creep over the word limit or re-introduce identifying info
