What it does

Jleo Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when a Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO) decision letter has arrived and you need a response-letter strategy — triaging an institutional-economist referee's report into a credible revision and point-by-point reply. Plans the rebuttal; it does not redo the analysis (route back to the relevant jleo- skill).

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

Jleo Rebuttal loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 686 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

description
Use when a Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO) decision letter has arrived and you need a response-letter strategy — triaging an institutional-economist referee's report into a credible revision and point-by-point reply. Plans the rebuttal; it does not redo the analysis (route back to the relevant jleo-* skill).

Rebuttal Strategy (jleo-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • A JLEO R&R or major-revision letter arrived and you must plan the response before editing
  • Two referees pull in opposite directions (one wants more theory, one more empirics) and you must reconcile
  • A referee challenges the institutional mechanism or the identification of a chosen governance/institution
  • The editor's letter signals which concerns are decisive and which are optional
  • You need a point-by-point response that an institutional-economics referee will read as responsive, not evasive

Reading a JLEO decision letter

JLEO editors and referees come from the institutional and organizational economics communities, and their reports tend to probe the mechanism and the credibility of a chosen institutional object harder than the marginal estimate. Before drafting, decode the letter:

  1. Find the editor's weighting. The editor's cover note usually signals which referee points are binding. Solve those first; treat the rest as secondary unless cheap.
  2. Separate the conceptual from the technical. Institutional referees raise two kinds of point: "your mechanism is not what you claim / your contribution is smaller than stated" (conceptual — may require reframing or new tests) and "this robustness/inference is missing" (technical — usually a table). Triage accordingly.
  3. Identify the deal-breakers. A challenge to the identification of a self-selected governance form, or to the validity of a hand-coded institutional measure, is usually a deal-breaker that needs real work, not rhetoric.

Building the response

Referee point typeResponse strategy
"Mechanism is mislabeled / contribution oversold"Reframe honestly; add a test that pins the mechanism, or scope the claim down — do not just reassert
"Governance/institution is endogenous"New identification work (IV / shock / selection bound), then report it; route to jleo-identification
"Institutional measure is invalid"Validate with an alternative measure; document coding; route to jleo-replication-package
"Model adds nothing"Add a comparative static the intuition lacked, or cut the model to its working core
"Alternative mechanism"Add a discriminating test; concede partial if the rival is genuinely live
"Missing robustness / inference"Run it, add the table, point to it; route to jleo-robustness
Referees conflictLet the editor's signal break the tie; explain the choice respectfully to both

Drafting discipline

  • Point-by-point, quote then respond. Reproduce each comment, then state what you changed and where (page/table). Institutional referees check that you actually moved the paper.
  • Lead each reply with the action, not the argument. "We have added X (Table 3)" before "we believe the original was adequate."
  • Concede where right; defend with evidence where not. A defended point needs a new exhibit or a citation, not just rhetoric. Never claim a change you did not make.
  • Keep the institutional framing consistent. If you reframe the mechanism for one referee, propagate it through the abstract, intro, and the other referee's reply so the paper reads coherently.
  • Summarize the major changes up front in a cover letter to the editor, mapped to the binding concerns.
Show full SKILL.md (215 more words)Show less

Checklist

  • The editor's binding concerns are identified and solved first
  • Every referee point has a quote-then-respond entry that names the change and its location
  • Deal-breakers (endogeneity, measure validity, mechanism) got real work, not rhetoric
  • Conflicting referees reconciled with reference to the editor's signal
  • No claimed change is unsupported by an actual edit/exhibit
  • The reframed institutional mechanism (if any) is consistent across the whole paper

Anti-patterns

  • Reasserting the mechanism a referee challenged without new evidence or a scope-down
  • Answering an endogeneity objection with prose where a new design or a bound is needed
  • A response that argues with the referee instead of moving the paper
  • Claiming a change ("we now address selection") that the manuscript does not actually contain
  • Reframing for one referee while leaving the abstract/intro contradicting the new framing

Worked vignette (illustrative)

Referee 1 says the make-or-buy effect is selection, not governance; Referee 2 says the model is decorative; the editor flags Referee 1 as decisive. The plan: route to jleo-identification for a specificity-shock design that breaks the selection (the decisive fix), then trim the model to the single comparative static the data test (answering Referee 2 cheaply). The response letter leads with the new identification, maps it to the editor's binding concern, and shows the slimmed model now earns its place.
