What it does

Jais Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when a Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) revision decision has arrived and you must plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — prioritizing the Senior Editor's letter, answering theory- and method-specific concerns in their proper currency, updating the required data materials, and keeping the manuscript within its category budget and double-blind anonymity. Drafts the response after the manuscript is actually revised; interpret the decision first with jais-review-process.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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

  • Answering theory- and method-specific concerns in their proper currency
  • Updating the required data materials
  • Keeping the manuscript within its category budget and double-blind anonymity

Example prompts

  • “/jais-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

Jais Rebuttal loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 860 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 a Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) revision decision has arrived and you must plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — prioritizing the Senior Editor's letter, answering theory- and method-specific concerns in their proper currency, updating the required data materials, and keeping the manuscript within its category budget and double-blind anonymity. Drafts the response after the manuscript is actually revised; interpret the decision first with jais-review-process.

Rebuttal & Response Letter (jais-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • You received a major or minor revision (or a reject-and-resubmit) from JAIS
  • You have read the decision with jais-review-process and revised the manuscript
  • You need a point-by-point response that the Senior Editor and reviewers can audit
  • Reviewers conflict and you must decide which way to revise

Revise first, then write the response

Do not draft the response letter before the manuscript is actually revised. The response is a map to real changes, not a list of promises. For each point, make the change in the manuscript first; the letter then points to where and how. This matters more at JAIS because the process is developmental — the SE is engaging with the paper's trajectory, and an honest, concrete response shows you used the developmental opportunity rather than deflecting it.

Anchor the revision in the Senior Editor's letter

The Senior Editor owns the decision, so the SE's letter sets priorities. Build a triage table: SE-elevated concerns first, then AE and reviewer points, flagging where reviewers conflict. Resolve conflicts in the direction the SE signaled, and say so explicitly when you do. A revision that satisfies every reviewer but misses the SE's central concern fails; a revision that nails the SE's priorities and addresses reviewers proportionately succeeds.

Disagree only with evidence, and only where the SE has not ruled

JAIS's developmental ethos rewards engagement over deference, so you may push back on a reviewer point — but do it on evidence, not rhetoric, and never against a position the Senior Editor has already settled. When two reviewers conflict and the SE has signaled a direction, follow it and explain in the letter that you are resolving the conflict per the editor's guidance. A revision that quietly ignores the SE's call, or that argues with the editor's framing, reads as not having understood the developmental conversation — the fastest way to convert a promising R&R into a rejection.

Answer concerns in the currency of your tradition

JAIS reviewers span paradigms, so a persuasive response speaks the right dialect of rigor.

Concern raisedA persuasive JAIS response…
Theory contribution unclear / incrementalsharpens the new construct or framework, restates the contribution sentence, and shows what the field now knows that it did not
Behavioral validity / common-method biasadds procedural evidence, a marker/method-factor test, or shows interactions survive — not just a Harman test
Economics identificationadds placebo/event-study evidence, alternative specifications, sensitivity to the key assumption
Design science evaluationadds baselines, ablations, or a field/expert evaluation tying results to design propositions
Qualitative trustworthinessstrengthens the data structure, audit trail, and representative evidence

Note the first row: at JAIS, a "thin contribution" challenge is answered with theory, not with more robustness checks. Reviewers here will not accept additional analyses as a substitute for a sharpened theoretical payoff.

Update the required data materials

If the revision changes the empirical core, refresh the materials JAIS requires: the correlation/covariance matrix plus descriptives for SEM work, and the anonymized dataset that must be available on request to SEs/reviewers. Note in the letter what you updated.

Keep length, anonymity, and category in check

Revisions grow papers, but JAIS still flags manuscripts over ~15,000 words and will not review beyond 65 pages. Plan offsetting cuts (tighter framing, consolidated exhibits) as part of the revision. Keep the manuscript double-blind — neutral self-citations, no identifying info — while it is still under review, and confirm the revised paper still fits its declared category.

Open the response with a contribution-and-changes summary

Senior Editors at JAIS are reading for whether the paper's trajectory has improved, so open the letter with a short synopsis: restate the sharpened contribution in one sentence, then list the two or three most consequential changes. This frames the point-by-point that follows and lets a developmental SE confirm quickly that you moved the paper where the editorial team hoped. Bury the contribution restatement at the end and you force the editor to reconstruct your logic from scattered replies.

Write a clean, auditable response

  • Quote each comment, then give your response and point to the changed page/section.
  • Be specific and gracious; disagree only with evidence and a clear rationale, and only when the SE has not already settled the point.
  • Summarize the major changes at the top so the SE can see the arc quickly.
  • Keep a developmental, collaborative tone that matches the journal's culture.

Checklist

  • Manuscript revised before the letter was drafted
  • SE-elevated points addressed first; reviewer conflicts resolved per the SE's signal
  • A "thin contribution" challenge answered with sharpened theory, not just extra analysis
  • Tradition-specific rigor concern answered in its proper currency
  • Required data materials (matrix/descriptives, anonymized dataset) updated and referenced
  • Revised manuscript within its category budget and ≤65pp; double-blind anonymity preserved
  • Every comment quoted, answered, and cross-referenced to a change
  • The letter opens with the sharpened contribution and the two or three biggest changes

Anti-patterns

  • Drafting the response before making the changes.
  • Treating all reviewers as equal and ignoring the SE's prioritization.
  • Answering a theory-contribution concern with more robustness tests instead of better theory.
  • Letting the revision balloon past the length budget by bolting on appendices.
  • Breaking anonymity with "in our revised work" phrasing while still under double-blind review.
