What it does

Jebo Referee Strategy is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when anticipating the objections a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) referee will raise before submitting — demand effects, mechanism-vs-alternative, external validity, sibling-journal fit. Pre-empts the modal JEBO referee; it does not draft the rebuttal to a received report.

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

  • Anticipating the objections a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) referee will raise before submitting — demand effects
  • Mechanism-vs-alternative
  • External validity
  • Sibling-journal fit

Example prompts

  • “/jebo-referee-strategy”

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

Jebo Referee Strategy loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 546 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
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.

description
Use when anticipating the objections a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) referee will raise before submitting — demand effects, mechanism-vs-alternative, external validity, sibling-journal fit. Pre-empts the modal JEBO referee; it does not draft the rebuttal to a received report.

Referee Strategy (jebo-referee-strategy)

When to trigger

  • The draft is near-complete and you want to find the holes a referee will find first
  • You suspect a referee will say "interesting, but it belongs in [sibling journal]"
  • You cannot articulate why your behavioral mechanism beats the obvious alternative
  • A coauthor wants to know which objections are fatal vs. addressable
  • You are deciding what to add now vs. defend in the response letter

Who referees for JEBO

JEBO uses single-anonymized review (referees anonymous, authors named), typically two-plus referees after an editor screen (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). The modal referee is a behavioral or experimental economist who has seen the closest prior experiment and is alert to the standard ways a behavioral claim can fail. Single-anonymized review means your name and prior work are visible — consistency with your own record and the relevant literature matters.

The objections JEBO referees raise most, and how to pre-empt

Referee objectionPre-empt before submitting
"This could be an experimenter-demand effect."Build in a demand-effect bound/treatment; address it in the text, not only if asked.
"Your mechanism isn't separated from [rival channel]."Add a moderation/mediation test the rival does not predict; name the alternative explicitly.
"It's a single lab task — does it generalize?"State the external-validity scope; if possible, a field or alternative-pool replication.
"Significance, but is the effect meaningful?"Report effect sizes in interpretable units; compare to a behavioral benchmark.
"Why JEBO and not ExpEcon / GEB / JEP?"Make the behavioral-economics contribution (not the method or the psychology) the headline.
"Many comparisons, no correction."Pre-register the primary outcome; report MHT-corrected results.
"Is this just a replication?"If partly, frame the value-added honestly (new pool, moderator, contested-result confirmation).
"The model adds notation but no testable prediction."Ensure the theory yields a pre-stated comparative static the data test.

Triage: fatal vs. addressable

  • Fatal if unaddressed before submission: deception in an incentivized study without justification; no demand-effect consideration; a confound that fully substitutes for the claimed mechanism; clear wrong-journal fit.
  • Addressable now (cheap, do it): MHT correction, effect-size reporting, comprehension-pass subsample, balance/attrition tables, a falsification check.
  • Defensible in the letter (if cost is high): an additional subject pool, a full structural extension — flag in limitations and offer in the response if requested.

Suggesting and excluding reviewers

Editorial Manager lets you suggest/oppose reviewers. Suggest scholars who know the literature but are not close collaborators (single-anonymized review makes obvious conflicts visible); a credible suggestion of the scholar who owns the closest prior result can help, since they will be invited anyway.

Checklist

  • Each likely objection above has a pre-empt in the current draft or a planned response
  • Experimenter-demand and mechanism-vs-alternative are addressed in the text, not only reactively
  • External-validity scope is stated honestly
  • Effect sizes are interpretable; not relying on significance alone
  • The "why JEBO" answer is explicit and survives the sibling-journal test
  • MHT/pre-registration handled for multi-arm/multi-outcome designs
  • Reviewer suggestions/exclusions prepared with conflicts in mind

Anti-patterns

  • Hoping the referee won't notice the demand-effect or rival-mechanism gap
  • Answering "does it generalize?" with silence rather than a bounded scope statement
  • Leaning on asterisks when asked whether the effect is meaningful
  • Submitting a paper whose strongest fit is a sibling journal and hoping the editor disagrees
  • Suggesting only friendly reviewers (transparent under single-anonymized review)
  • Deferring cheap, obviously-required checks to "if the referee asks"
