What it does

Jeea Referee Strategy is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when anticipating referee and co-editor objections for a Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA) manuscript, or calibrating desk-reject risk and timeline expectations. Plans the defense and expectations; it does not draft the response letter (use jeea-rebuttal after a decision).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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.

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

Jeea Referee Strategy loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 638 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~1.4k

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.

Referee Strategy (jeea-referee-strategy)

When to trigger

  • Before submission, to stress-test the paper against the objections it will draw
  • You want to gauge desk-reject risk and the realistic timeline
  • A co-author asks "what will the referees attack?"
  • You need to decide what to pre-empt in the paper vs. leave for the response

The JEEA review reality (source map refreshed 2026-06-20)

JEEA review is single-blind: referees know the authors. Every submission is first read by a co-editor, who may desk-reject without peer review if the fit or contribution is not strong enough for a general-interest journal; otherwise it goes to referees. The editorial team aims for a fast decision (≈8 weeks where possible). Because the co-editor is a general-interest gatekeeper (not necessarily a subfield specialist), the first hurdle is general-interest fit and a legible contribution, not subfield depth. Re-verify volatile process facts on the EEA / OUP pages.

The objections to pre-empt (by source)

ObjectionPre-emption in the paper
"Not general interest enough" (desk-reject risk)jeea-topic-selection + jeea-literature-positioning: a lesson that travels, stated up front
"Contribution is incremental vs. [close paper]"name the delta vs. the frontier; defend it (jeea-literature-positioning)
"Identification is not credible"design-based defense / sensitivity (jeea-identification, jeea-robustness)
"The model is a special case"generalize or justify the special case (jeea-theory-model)
"Results look fragile"threat-organized robustness (jeea-robustness)
"Inference is mis-specified"clustering / wild-cluster / RI (jeea-robustness)
"Cannot tell if it replicates"DCAS package ready for the Data Editor (jeea-replication-package)

Strategy moves

  • Win the co-editor first. The abstract and intro must make the general-interest contribution unmissable, or the paper never reaches referees.
  • Pre-empt the top three objections in the paper, not in a hoped-for response letter — anticipate, don't defer.
  • Single-blind means be careful with self-citation and tone — referees see who you are; avoid territorial framing against close authors who may referee.
  • Pick the right co-editor fit mentally: match the paper to the breadth of a general-interest editor; if it only makes sense to a specialist, the framing is wrong.
  • Calibrate timeline and outcomes: a fast first decision is the norm; plan for R&R, not instant acceptance.

Checklist

  • General-interest contribution unmissable in abstract + intro (beats desk-reject)
  • Top three likely objections identified and pre-empted in the paper
  • Closest competing papers acknowledged fairly (single-blind: tone matters)
  • Identification / robustness / replication defenses in place before submission
  • Realistic timeline and outcome expectations set (fast decision; expect R&R)

Two-gate model of a JEEA decision

Think of the decision as two gates, and target the defense at the right one:

  1. The co-editor gate (general interest + fit). Cleared by jeea-topic-selection, jeea-literature-positioning, and jeea-writing-style: a legible, traveling contribution stated in the abstract and intro. Most desk rejections die here, before any referee reads the paper.
  2. The referee gate (execution). Cleared by jeea-identification, jeea-theory-model, jeea-robustness, and jeea-replication-package: a credible design or disciplined model, robust results, and a verifiable replication path.

A paper strong at gate 2 but weak at gate 1 is desk-rejected; a paper strong at gate 1 but weak at gate 2 draws a hostile referee report. Diagnose which gate is at risk and route accordingly.

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A user has a clean RDD with a tiny, technical question. The execution is excellent (gate 2 is safe) but the general-interest hook is missing (gate 1 is at risk). The strategy is not more robustness — it is reframing the question so the discontinuity answers something a general reader cares about. Route to jeea-topic-selection and jeea-writing-style before submission, not to another robustness table.

Anti-patterns

  • Submitting a subfield-deep paper with no general-interest hook (desk-reject bait)
  • Leaving the obvious identification or robustness objection for the response letter
  • Territorial or dismissive framing of close authors (who may referee, under single-blind)
  • Assuming referees will supply the general-interest lesson you never stated
  • Treating a fast-decision target as a promise of acceptance
  • Pouring effort into gate 2 when gate 1 (general-interest fit) is the actual risk

Output format

【Desk-reject risk】[low / medium / high] + the general-interest hook
【Top 3 referee objections】[...]
【Pre-emption status】[in-paper / deferred] for each
【Single-blind cautions】[self-citation / tone]
【Timeline/outcome】[fast decision; expect R&R]
【Next step】jeea-submission
