What it does

Jfi Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning an R&R response letter for the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) — single-blind review where referees know you, often a small number of expert reports, a narrow appeal path, and pushback centered on the intermediation channel. It structures the response; it does not fabricate results.

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

  • Planning an R&R response letter for the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) — single-blind review where referees know you
  • Often a small number of expert reports
  • A narrow appeal path
  • Pushback centered on the intermediation channel

Example prompts

  • “/jfi-rebuttal”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Cover note to the Managing Editor — summarize the 2–4 substantive changes and how the paper is now
  2. Point-by-point replies — quote each referee comment, then respond
  3. Summary-of-changes table — comment → change → location.
  4. Clean revised manuscript plus a tracked-changes copy.

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

Jfi Rebuttal loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 590 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
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 planning an R&R response letter for the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) — single-blind review where referees know you, often a small number of expert reports, a narrow appeal path, and pushback centered on the intermediation channel. It structures the response; it does not fabricate results.

R&R Rebuttal Strategy (jfi-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • You received an R&R or a reject-with-encouragement and must reply to referees and the Managing Editor
  • War-gaming likely objections before submitting (pre-mortem)

JFI-specific posture (verified 2026-06-20; re-confirm on the official page)

  • Review is single-anonymized (single-blind) — referees know who you are, so tone matters and gratuitous self-defense reads poorly.
  • A paper may rest on a minimum of one expert reviewer, so a single decisive report can shape the outcome; treat each point as potentially pivotal.
  • A formal appeal may be possible under Elsevier's appeal policy, but only one appeal per submission is considered and the appeal decision is final. The response letter is still your main instrument; make it count rather than relying on later escalation.
  • The reviewer is a banking / financial-intermediation specialist — answer in the field's terms (identification of the intermediary mechanism, sample/bank-panel construction, robustness), not generic prose.

Response-letter structure

  1. Cover note to the Managing Editor — summarize the 2–4 substantive changes and how the paper is now stronger; keep it short.
  2. Point-by-point replies — quote each referee comment, then respond:
    • Agree + did it: state the change and the new exhibit/section/line number.
    • Agree in part: scope the change; explain the boundary.
    • Respectfully disagree: give evidence (a robustness table, a derivation, a citation), never just assertion.
  3. Summary-of-changes table — comment → change → location.
  4. Clean revised manuscript plus a tracked-changes copy.

Empirical vs. theory rebuttals

  • Empirical (bank/loan-panel): answer endogeneity/selection challenges with a sharper design, a placebo, an alternative sample, or a clustering/inference fix — not hand-waving (see jfi-identification-strategy, jfi-data-analysis).
  • Theory: address generality and assumption objections by stating which results survive a relaxed assumption, adding a proposition or a numerical example, or clarifying the proof step questioned.

Pushback patterns a JFI referee runs, and the credible fix

Referee lineWhat it really asksThe JFI-credible fix
"Demand, not supply"Does the effect survive within-firm absorption?Report the firm×time-FE estimate; reconcile the gap with OLS as sorting
"The mechanism could be X, not intermediation"Separate the channelsHeterogeneity by bank capital, relationship intensity, or borrower switchability
"One country, one register"External validityFrame the register as a laboratory; cite cross-register replications; hedge the claim's scope
"The model is a knife-edge case"GeneralityAdd a proposition stating which results survive relaxed assumptions, and which do not
"Magnitudes look implausible"Economic sizeConvert to aggregate credit terms; benchmark against the lending-channel literature's range
Show full SKILL.md (197 more words)Show less

A worked reply on the supply–demand point (illustrative)

"The referee asks whether borrower demand drives Table 4. We now estimate the specification with firm×time fixed effects on the multi-bank subsample (new Table 5): the coefficient falls from −3.0 to −2.1 (s.e. 0.6) but remains significant, and new Section 5.2 shows single-bank firms exhibit the same exposure gradient in real outcomes. We interpret the one-third attenuation as borrower–bank sorting, now discussed on p. 14." Quote, evidence, exact location — no rhetoric, no re-litigation of the question. Because the appeal path is narrow, prioritize the one or two comments that decide the paper's fate (usually the identification challenge) and give them new exhibits, not the longest prose. When a referee proposes an intermediation interpretation you had not considered, test it rather than dismissing it — at this venue, an added heterogeneity cut often converts a skeptic into an advocate.

Anti-patterns

  • A defensive tone toward a referee who knows your identity
  • Promising changes without making them, or burying them where the referee cannot find them
  • Treating a single referee's point as ignorable — it may be decisive
  • Banking on a later appeal instead of making the revised manuscript and response decisive
