Imfer Referee Strategy is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when anticipating the objections a dual academic/policy IMF Economic Review (IMFER) referee will raise, so a manuscript pre-empts them before submission or addresses them in revision. Plans the defense; it does not draft the response letter (imfer-rebuttal) or run the submission preflight (imfer-submission).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Imfer Referee Strategy loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 890 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.
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.

.claude/skills/imfer-referee-strategy/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).IMFER uses double-blind review through Editorial Manager (anonymize the main file and self-citations) (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). The distinctive feature is the referee pool: typically one frontier international-macro researcher and readers attuned to policy relevance and IMF-program realism. The modal report attacks (1) the credibility of the cross-country / policy-surprise design, then (2) country composition and external validity, then (3) whether the policy implication is actually warranted. A clean estimate with an over-reached or under-developed policy claim is a common rejection. Plan to pre-empt the predictable objections in the paper and reserve the letter for genuinely new asks.
| Referee objection (by type) | Pre-emption to build in now |
|---|---|
| "TWFE is biased under staggered policy adoption" | heterogeneity-robust estimator + clean event-study leads already in the paper |
| "Driven by a few countries / one region" | leave-one-country-out and drop-dominant in the main paper |
| "This is the global financial cycle, not your variable" | global-cycle / US-shock control shown to leave the result intact |
| "Policy is endogenous to the crisis" | external instrument / narrative timing + selection-into-program defense |
| "Spillovers violate SUTVA across borders" | explicit interference assumption or a network/spatial design |
| "Inference ignores cross-country dependence" | Driscoll–Kraay / two-way clustering; wild-cluster for few countries |
| "Effect ≠ the policy-relevant magnitude" | estimand stated; magnitude in policy units; scope of the implication bounded |
| "The policy implication overreaches the evidence" | implication explicitly bounded to what the design supports |
| "Not reproducible / restricted data" | package built with access instructions (imfer-replication-package) |
| "External validity beyond this sample?" | estimand + scope stated; the regime where the result transfers is named |
Not every conceivable check belongs in the submitted paper. Run before submission the checks a referee is near-certain to demand — the country-composition tests, the global-cycle control, the modern staggered-DID estimator, the cross-country-robust inference — because their absence reads as a hole. Hold in reserve the secondary perturbations (alternative deflators, additional subsamples, a placebo or two) that you can deploy in the response letter if asked, so the submitted paper stays readable. The judgment call is the boundary: anything an IMFER referee would consider a threat to the headline goes in now; anything that is merely a "would be nice" can wait. Putting reserve checks in an online appendix you reference is the safe middle path.
Before submitting a debt-spillover paper, the team war-games both tracks. The academic sentence: "Your event windows overlap the GFC, so you are picking up the global shock." Pre-emption: drop the GFC window and add a global-cycle control in the main paper. The policy sentence: "You claim restructurings should be faster, but your sample is all post-default — survivorship." Pre-emption: re-scope the implication to defaulting countries and add a selection-into-default note. Each objection gets one paragraph plus one exhibit in the paper, so the actual reports raise only genuinely new points.
