What it does

Humrel Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting the response to a Human Relations (HR) R&R after the manuscript has been revised — structuring the response letter and handling reviewer/editor comments in HR's developmental, theory-first culture. Drafts the response; it does not perform the underlying revisions (do those first).

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

  • Theory-first culture
  • Tasks that involve Peer review

Example prompts

  • “/humrel-rebuttal”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Cover note to the editors. Thank the team; summarize the 3–5 most important changes and how the contribution is now sharper. Address the…
  2. Point-by-point responses, grouped by reviewer, then by comment. For each
  3. A summary of major changes at the top helps editors tracking a multi-round file.

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

Humrel Rebuttal loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 593 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
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.

description
Use when drafting the response to a Human Relations (HR) R&R after the manuscript has been revised — structuring the response letter and handling reviewer/editor comments in HR's developmental, theory-first culture. Drafts the response; it does not perform the underlying revisions (do those first).

R&R Rebuttal (humrel-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • You have an HR R&R and have already revised the manuscript
  • You need to structure a point-by-point response document
  • Reviewers disagree and you must navigate between them without contradicting yourself
  • The editor's letter asks you to "deepen the theoretical contribution" and you must answer with substance

Revise the paper first. The response letter documents changes you made; it is not a substitute for making them. If you have not revised yet, return to the relevant humrel-* skill.

Mindset for an HR revision

HR review is developmental and theory-first. Reviewers and the handling editor (under Co-Editors-in-Chief Smriti Anand and Penny Dick, 检索于 2026-06;以官网为准) took the idea seriously; the winning posture is gracious, responsive, and intellectually serious. The central question they will ask is "did the theoretical contribution mature?" — consistent with HR's gate of a "unique and substantive theoretical contribution." A letter that reads as a checklist of mechanical robustness additions — adequate at some quantitative-leaning venues — will underperform here if the theoretical insight and the social-relational argument have not sharpened.

Structure of the response

  1. Cover note to the editors. Thank the team; summarize the 3–5 most important changes and how the contribution is now sharper. Address the editors' central theoretical ask explicitly and up front.
  2. Point-by-point responses, grouped by reviewer, then by comment. For each:
    • Quote the comment verbatim (or faithfully paraphrase).
    • State your response: Accepted / Partially accepted / Respectfully disagree.
    • Describe the exact change and cite the new location (page, section, table).
    • Where you disagree, give the reasoned case with evidence, and offer a compromise where possible.
  3. A summary of major changes at the top helps editors tracking a multi-round file.

Handling hard cases

  • "Deepen the contribution": the most common HR ask. Show concretely how the theory is now sharper, the mechanism more specified, the social-relational stakes clearer — not just more tables or more cases.
  • Reviewers disagree: state both positions, explain your resolution, and let the editor see you reasoned it through. Do not silently side with one and ignore the other.
  • A request would harm the paper: explain why (theoretical or evidentiary cost), propose an alternative that meets the underlying concern, and defer to the editors.
  • "It reads like a sibling-journal paper": answer by re-foregrounding the relational/theoretical contribution that makes it HR, not by adding managerial implications.
  • Out-of-scope requests: politely note scope and, if useful, flag as future work.

Tone, craft, and compliance

  • Respectful, specific, and confident — never defensive or dismissive ("the reviewer misunderstood").
  • Make the editors' job easy: clear navigation, change locations, a quotable summary.
  • Keep the letter self-contained; a reviewer should not need the tracked-changes file to follow it.
  • Ensure consistency: a change for Reviewer 1 must not contradict a response to Reviewer 2.
  • Keep the revised manuscript anonymized (double-anonymous), within the 13k word cap, and re-declare any AI use in the cover letter if applicable.

Checklist

  • Manuscript revised before writing the letter
  • Editors' central theoretical ask addressed first and explicitly
  • Every comment answered; none skipped or merged away
  • Each response states accept/partial/disagree + the exact change location
  • "Deepen the contribution" answered with theoretical substance, not just additions
  • Reviewer conflicts navigated without internal contradictions
  • Revised file still anonymized, within 13k, AI re-declared if used
  • Tone gracious and serious throughout; letter is self-contained

Anti-patterns

  • Writing the response before actually revising
  • Defensive or dismissive replies
  • Claiming a change was made without pointing to where
  • Answering "deepen the contribution" with cosmetic additions or extra robustness
  • Satisfying one reviewer in a way that contradicts another's response
  • Re-introducing author-identifying traces or busting the word cap during revision
