What it does

Eer Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when a European Economic Review (EER) decision letter arrives (R&R or reject-with-appeal grounds) and a response strategy and letter are needed. Plans the revision and drafts the point-by-point response; it does not run new estimation or rewrite the whole paper.

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. 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

  • A European Economic Review (EER) decision letter arrives (R&R
  • Reject-with-appeal grounds) and a response strategy and letter are needed

Example prompts

  • “/eer-rebuttal”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Triage the reports
  2. Do the substantive work first
  3. Draft the point-by-point letter
  4. Keep the paper coherent

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

Eer Rebuttal loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 520 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
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.

Rebuttal & Response Letter (eer-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • An EER R&R (major or minor) arrived and you need a revision plan + response letter
  • Referee reports conflict and you must triage what to do
  • You are weighing a formal appeal of a reject (one appeal per submission)
  • You need to convert reports into a credible, point-by-point response

The EER revision reality

EER decisions are accept / R&R (major or minor) / reject, with desk rejects possible without review. Under single-anonymized review the referees know who you are — the response must be professional, complete, and non-defensive. The editor decides; referees advise. A successful R&R does the substantive work the reports ask for, documents it transparently, and makes the editor's re-read easy. EER permits one formal appeal per submission (Elsevier appeal policy; the decision is final) — reserve it for a clear factual/process error, not disagreement with judgment.

Building the response

1. Triage the reports
  • Sort every comment into: must-do (identification/robustness/credibility), should-do (clarity, added test), discuss-only (out-of-scope or contradicting another referee).
  • Flag conflicts between referees and let the editor see you handled both fairly.
  • Identify the one or two objections that gate acceptance and over-deliver on those.
2. Do the substantive work first
  • Re-run identification/robustness the reports demand (eer-identification, eer-robustness) before writing the letter.
  • If you decline a request, give a reasoned, evidenced decline — never a flat refusal.
3. Draft the point-by-point letter
  • Quote each comment, then respond; state what changed and where (section/table/page).
  • Lead each response with the action taken, then the explanation.
  • Keep a respectful, collegial tone; thank referees for specific improvements.
  • Add a summary of major changes at the top for the editor.
4. Keep the paper coherent
  • Ensure revisions do not break the narrative; re-check abstract/intro/highlights (eer-writing-style).
  • Update the replication package if results changed (eer-replication-package).
Show full SKILL.md (228 more words)Show less

Checklist

  • Every referee/editor comment is quoted and answered (none skipped)
  • Each response leads with the action and cites the exact location of the change
  • The 1–2 acceptance-gating objections are over-delivered
  • Referee conflicts surfaced and resolved fairly for the editor
  • Declines are reasoned and evidenced, never dismissive
  • Summary-of-changes for the editor at the top of the letter
  • Paper still coherent; abstract/intro/highlights re-checked; replication package updated
  • Tone professional throughout (referees know the authors)

Anti-patterns

  • A defensive letter that argues with referees instead of addressing them
  • Claiming "we have addressed this" without pointing to the concrete change
  • Cherry-picking easy comments and ignoring the hard, acceptance-gating one
  • Letting two referees' conflicting demands go unreconciled for the editor
  • Filing an appeal over a judgment disagreement (appeals are for clear errors; decision is final)
  • Changing results without updating the replication package or the affected exhibits

Worked vignette (illustrative)

An R&R has three reports. Referee 1 (gating): "TWFE is biased." Referee 2: "result may be crisis-driven." Referee 3 (out-of-scope): "add a structural model." Plan: re-estimate with Callaway–Sant'Anna and add leave-out-period robustness (over-deliver on 1 and 2); for 3, explain in the letter why a full structural model is beyond scope but add a reduced-form mechanism test as a good-faith partial response. The letter opens with a change summary, quotes each comment, and points to the exact revised tables — making the editor's decision easy.

Output format

【Decision】R&R major / R&R minor / reject (appeal grounds?)
【Triage】must-do / should-do / discuss-only (with gating items flagged)
【Substantive work done】identification/robustness re-runs completed? [Y/N]
【Letter】each comment quoted + action-first response + change location? [Y/N]
【Coherence】abstract/intro/highlights + replication package updated? [Y/N]
【Next step】resubmit via Editorial Manager (or eer-submission for a fresh target)
