What it does

Jhr Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when a Journal of Human Resources (JHR) revise-and-resubmit arrives and you must plan the response letter — answering referees and the handling editor, satisfying the reconciliation and sensitivity demands, and confirming no fee applies to invited revisions. Strategy and structure; it does not write your results.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping, Recruiting and HR and 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

  • Satisfying the reconciliation and sensitivity demands
  • Confirming no fee applies to invited revisions

Example prompts

  • “/jhr-rebuttal”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Cover note to the editor — summarize the 3-5 most substantive changes; state how you handled any conflicting referee requests.
  2. Per-referee blocks — quote each comment, then respond. Use one of: Done (point to the new table/figure/section), Done differently…
  3. A reconciliation appendix — a side-by-side of your estimate vs. the prior literature's, with the bridge explained (sample, spec, period…
  4. A change-log — every manuscript change keyed to a comment, with new page/exhibit numbers.

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

Jhr Rebuttal loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 551 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 Human Resources (JHR) revise-and-resubmit arrives and you must plan the response letter — answering referees and the handling editor, satisfying the reconciliation and sensitivity demands, and confirming no fee applies to invited revisions. Strategy and structure; it does not write your results.

R&R Rebuttal Strategy (jhr-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • A JHR R&R or conditional-acceptance letter arrived
  • You need to structure point-by-point responses to referees and the editor
  • Referees asked you to reconcile with prior estimates or add sensitivity tests
  • You are unsure how much weight to give the handling editor vs. the referees

JHR-specific framing

  • No fee for invited revisions — the $175 charge is initial-submission only, so resubmit cleanly without budgeting again.
  • Single-anonymous review: referees know who you are; keep the tone collegial and specific, and avoid defensive or status-based appeals.
  • The reconciliation requirement carries into revision. If referees ask why your estimates differ from prior published work, the expected response is comparative estimation (re-run under the prior spec/sample) plus sensitivity tests — not prose alone. JHR explicitly may require this.
  • The handling editor (coeditor/associate editor) synthesizes the reports; when referees conflict, anchor your plan to the editor's letter and say so.

Response-letter structure

  1. Cover note to the editor — summarize the 3-5 most substantive changes; state how you handled any conflicting referee requests.
  2. Per-referee blocks — quote each comment, then respond. Use one of: Done (point to the new table/figure/section), Done differently (justify), or Respectfully push back (rare, evidence-based).
  3. A reconciliation appendix — a side-by-side of your estimate vs. the prior literature's, with the bridge explained (sample, spec, period, population).
  4. A change-log — every manuscript change keyed to a comment, with new page/exhibit numbers.

Checklist

  • Every referee point addressed explicitly (none silently dropped)
  • Reconciliation with prior published estimates shown numerically, not asserted
  • Requested sensitivity/comparative tests added and cross-referenced
  • Editor's synthesis used to resolve conflicting referee asks
  • Revision still within the 40-page limit; new material pushed to the Online Appendix
  • Disclosure statement and data-archive footnote updated if anything changed
  • Tone collegial (single-anonymous — they know you)

Anti-patterns

  • Answering prose with prose when a number/comparison was requested
  • Silently dropping an inconvenient referee point
  • Letting the revision balloon past the page limit
  • Picking a fight with one referee instead of letting the editor's letter arbitrate
  • Forgetting to refresh the data-availability footnote after adding analyses

Common referee pushback at JHR and the expected fix

Referee objectionWeak responseJHR-calibrated response
"Pre-trends look noisy / TWFE biased with staggered timing"Cite a methods paper and assert robustnessRe-estimate with a heterogeneity-robust estimator, show the new event study, add a pre-trend sensitivity bound
"Why does your estimate differ from [prior paper]?"A paragraph of contextual speculationComparative estimation: prior spec on your sample, your spec on the prior window, bridge table cited
"Clustering seems wrong"Footnote defending current choiceRe-cluster at the assignment level, add wild bootstrap if clusters are few, report both
"Effect could be sorting at the cutoff"Verbal institutional argument onlyDensity test, covariate continuity, donut estimate in a new appendix exhibit
"Results are a LATE; policy claim is broader"Soften one sentenceCharacterize compliers, re-scope the policy paragraph, flag what does not travel

Worked response excerpt

text
Comment R2.3: The staggered rollout makes the TWFE estimates hard to interpret.

Response: Done. We now report Callaway-Sant'Anna group-time ATTs as the
preferred estimates (new Table 3) and move TWFE to Appendix Table A7 for
comparison. The event study (new Figure 2) shows pre-period coefficients near
zero; a pre-trend sensitivity exercise (Appendix Table A8) indicates the
headline effect survives violations up to twice the largest pre-period
estimate. Pages 14-16 are rewritten around the new estimates.

Every response of this type names the new exhibit, the new pages, and the result of the check — referees at this venue reward verifiable specificity.

Triage order for a multi-referee letter

  1. Editor's letter first: extract the must-do list and any arbitration of conflicts.
  2. Empirical asks next (reconciliation, estimators, inference) — these gate acceptance.
  3. Framing and exposition asks last; they often resolve themselves once the new tables exist.

Output format

【Decision】R&R / conditional accept
【Referee map】R1/R2/R3 asks → response type each
【Reconciliation】prior-vs-ours table added? [Y/N]
【Sensitivity】new tests + cross-refs? [Y/N]
【Length】still <=40pp; overflow in appendix? [Y/N]
【Next step】resubmit via msubmit.net (no fee)
