What it does

Ijoc Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting the response to an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) decision letter — turning referee objections (especially about experiments and reproducibility) into a point-by-point response with re-run evidence. Builds the rebuttal and revision plan; it does not run new analysis on its own (route to ijoc-data-analysis).

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, Reproducible research and Data analysis. 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

Ijoc Rebuttal loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 601 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
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 an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) decision letter — turning referee objections (especially about experiments and reproducibility) into a point-by-point response with re-run evidence. Builds the rebuttal and revision plan; it does not run new analysis on its own (route to ijoc-data-analysis).

Rebuttal Strategy (ijoc-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • An IJOC major/minor revision arrived and you need a response-letter strategy
  • Referees challenge the fairness, scale, or reproducibility of the computational experiments
  • You disagree with a referee on a method point and must push back without alienating the associate editor
  • You need to convert a long, mixed decision letter into an ordered, checkable revision plan

The IJOC rebuttal mindset

IJOC revisions are won with evidence, not rhetoric. Most consequential objections are computational ("the comparison is unfair," "instances too small," "cannot reproduce"), and the strongest response is a re-run that settles the question: more standard instances, a stronger baseline, more seeds, a performance profile, an updated deposit. Because the associate editor is undisclosed and single-blind, write to the substance of each report for a technical reader; never speculate about who wrote what. The AE is reading for whether you took the experiments seriously.

Structure of the response

  1. Open with the changes that matter. A short summary: the main new experiments, the strengthened baselines, the reproducibility fixes — so the AE sees the substantive work first.
  2. Point-by-point, quoting each comment. Reproduce each referee point verbatim, then respond. Use a consistent tag: [Done — with evidence], [Done — text], [Respectfully disagree — with reason].
  3. Show the evidence inline. For computational objections, include the new table/profile or its key number and a pointer to where it now lives in the paper and the deposit. "We re-ran on the full MIPLIB-class set; the performance profile (new Fig. 5) shows we dominate beyond τ=1.4; updated in results/ (illustrative)."
  4. Be honest about limits. Where a competitor still wins a regime, say so and scope the claim rather than overclaiming — IJOC referees reward calibrated honesty.

Disagreeing well

You may push back, but with a reason a technical reviewer accepts: a misread of the method, a baseline that is not actually comparable, a request outside the paper's scope. Concede the framing ("the reviewer is right that X would strengthen the paper") even while declining ("but it changes the research question; we instead add Y, which addresses the underlying concern"). Flat refusal with no alternative is what loses AEs.

Checklist

  • Response opens with the substantive new experiments and reproducibility fixes
  • Every referee point quoted and answered with a clear status tag
  • Computational objections answered with re-run evidence, not prose
  • New/updated exhibits pointed to in both the paper and the deposit
  • The deposit re-tagged and confirmed to reproduce the revised results
  • Disagreements carry a technical reason and an alternative
  • Claims rescoped honestly where a competitor still wins
  • Tone is professional; no speculation about the undisclosed AE/referees

Anti-patterns

  • Answering an experimental objection with words instead of a re-run
  • Marking points "Done" without changing the paper or the deposit
  • Updating the manuscript but leaving the GitHub deposit stale (a "cannot reproduce" relapse)
  • Flat refusal of a reviewer request with no reason or alternative
  • Overclaiming after revision instead of scoping to the regimes you actually win
  • Guessing the AE's or reviewer's identity and writing to it
