What it does

Ecopol Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when responding to Economic Policy (EP) discussant comments and the panel debate — revising the paper for the camera-ready version that publishes alongside those comments. Plans the post-panel response; it does not invent evidence or citations.

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 Peer review and Citation management. 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
  • Tasks that involve Citation management

Example prompts

  • “/ecopol-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

Ecopol Rebuttal loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 590 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 Economic Policy (EP) discussant comments and the panel debate — revising the paper for the camera-ready version that publishes alongside those comments. Plans the post-panel response; it does not invent evidence or citations.

Post-Panel Rebuttal (ecopol-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • You have presented at an EP conference and have two discussants' written comments to address
  • You are preparing the camera-ready version that will be published next to those comments
  • The panel debate surfaced points that need a fix, a concession, or a counter-argument
  • A coauthor is treating discussant comments like an anonymous referee report and missing the public, side-by-side nature
  • You must decide, point by point, what to change vs. what to defend in the final text

EP rebuttal is unusual: your reply is published next to the critique

At EP there is no private response-to-referees letter. The two discussants' comments are published alongside your final paper, and a summary of the panel discussion may accompany it (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). So your "rebuttal" is mostly the revised paper itself: the reader will see the critique and your paper side by side and judge whether you answered it. This reshapes strategy:

  1. You cannot bury a concession in a private letter. If a discussant is right, fix it in the paper or address it openly — the reader sees both documents.
  2. Defending in the text, not in correspondence. Where you disagree, the paper must contain the argument/evidence that answers the point, because there is no separate venue to make your case.
  3. Tone is collegial and on the record. Discussants are named; the exchange is part of the published scholarly conversation, not an adversarial referee fight.

Triage every discussant point

Point typeResponse
Correct and fixablefix in the paper; note the improvement where natural
Correct but unfixable (data/scope limit)concede openly in the text; bound its impact on the conclusion
A genuine disagreementadd the argument/evidence to the paper that answers it; acknowledge the alternative view
A request beyond scopeaddress briefly; explain why it is a separate question
A policy-framing concernsharpen the policy bottom line / units (ecopol-tables-figures, ecopol-writing-style)

For each of the two discussants, work through every substantive point with this triage; do not cherry-pick the easy ones.

Craft moves

  • Map academic vs. policy comments separately. The academic discussant's points usually mean analysis changes (ecopol-identification, ecopol-robustness); the policy discussant's usually mean framing/magnitude/legibility changes.
  • Strengthen the central magnitude if either discussant questioned its robustness — that is the most damaging unanswered critique given the side-by-side format.
  • Address the top points in the main text, not only the appendix — the reader comparing the documents looks at the paper, not the footnotes.
  • Be honest about what you did not change and why — an unanswered, visible critique is worse than a frank concession.
  • Keep the policy conclusion coherent after revisions: if a fix moves the number, update the recommendation rather than leaving a stale headline.

Checklist

  • Every substantive point from both discussants triaged (fix / concede / defend / scope)
  • Corrections incorporated into the paper, not just promised
  • Genuine disagreements answered with argument/evidence in the paper
  • Central magnitude re-defended if its robustness was questioned
  • Top points addressed in the main text, given the side-by-side publication
  • Concessions stated openly and their impact on the conclusion bounded
  • Policy bottom line still coherent after all revisions
  • Tone collegial and on the record (discussants are named)

Anti-patterns

  • Treating discussant comments like a private referee report you can answer in a hidden letter
  • Cherry-picking the easy points and silently ignoring a hard one the reader will see next to your paper
  • Defending a number a discussant credibly challenged without strengthening the robustness
  • Conceding a point in correspondence but leaving the paper unchanged
  • Leaving a stale policy recommendation after a revision moved the underlying estimate

Output format
