What it does

Mathfin Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when responding to a Mathematical Finance (Wiley) revise-and-resubmit — triages referee comments on theorem novelty, proof gaps, martingale and integrability conditions, assumption scope, counterexamples, exposition, numerical support, and financial-modelling relevance into a point-by-point letter plus aligned manuscript edits.

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 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

  • Responding to a Mathematical Finance (Wiley) revise-and-resubmit — triages referee comments on theorem novelty
  • Martingale and integrability conditions
  • Assumption scope
  • Counterexamples

Example prompts

  • “/mathfin-rebuttal”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Proof correctness: missing lemma, invalid theorem application, local/true
  2. Assumption scope: too strong, too weak, unstated, or not financially interpretable.
  3. Novelty: overlap with prior theorem, special-case concern, missing citation.
  4. Financial modelling relevance: theorem correct but payoff unclear.
  5. Exposition: notation, definitions, appendix navigation, numerical explanation.

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

Mathfin Rebuttal loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 605 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
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.

Use when responding to a Mathematical Finance (Wiley) revise-and-resubmit — triages referee comments on theorem novelty, proof gaps, martingale and integrability conditions, assumption scope, counterexamples, exposition, numerical support, and financial-modelling relevance into a point-by-point letter plus aligned manuscript edits.

R&R Rebuttal (mathfin-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • A revision decision arrives from Mathematical Finance
  • Referees identify proof gaps, unclear assumptions, missing novelty, or weak financial interpretation
  • You need a point-by-point response letter and aligned manuscript edits

Triage categories

  1. Proof correctness: missing lemma, invalid theorem application, local/true martingale issue, integrability, measurability, boundary condition.
  2. Assumption scope: too strong, too weak, unstated, or not financially interpretable.
  3. Novelty: overlap with prior theorem, special-case concern, missing citation.
  4. Financial modelling relevance: theorem correct but payoff unclear.
  5. Exposition: notation, definitions, appendix navigation, numerical explanation.

Response strategy

  • Fix proof gaps directly; do not argue around them.
  • When an assumption cannot be relaxed, explain why it is necessary and what it means financially.
  • If novelty is questioned, compare theorem-by-theorem with the closest prior work.
  • Add financial interpretation after formal statements, not only in the introduction.
  • Move long derivations to appendices and point referees to exact page/line numbers.

Objection-to-repair map

Referee objection (typical phrasing)Likely root causeRepair that satisfies this venue
"X is only a local martingale"Missing uniform-integrability / Novikov-type conditionAdd the integrability lemma; or weaken the conclusion to supermartingale and fix downstream claims
"Girsanov/Itô applied without checking hypotheses"Cited theorem's conditions were not checked in your settingInsert a verification step with explicit moment bounds, citing the precise theorem number
"The candidate strategy is not shown admissible"Admissible set defined too looselyTighten the definition, prove membership, re-run the verification theorem
"This follows from [prior work] by a change of variables"Novelty gapTheorem-by-theorem comparison; isolate the hypothesis prior work cannot drop
"The proof of Lemma k is only sketched"Routine step left informalWrite it out in the appendix; never answer with "standard"
"Where is the financial content?"Payoff stated only in the abstractAdd interpretation remarks after each main theorem

When the referee exhibits a counterexample

Treat a counterexample as data about your hypotheses, not as an attack. First reproduce it and check whether it satisfies your stated assumptions. If it does, the theorem is wrong as stated: find the minimal additional hypothesis that excludes it, restate the result, and say plainly in the letter that the referee found a genuine gap. If it does not, show precisely which labelled assumption it violates and thank the referee for prompting a clarifying remark in the text. Disputing a correct counterexample is the fastest route to rejection at a journal whose referees verify arguments line by line.

Worked vignette: defending a boundedness assumption

A referee asks why volatility is assumed bounded in a term-structure stability theorem and suggests relaxing it. Response options, in descending strength: (1) relax it — prove the result under linear growth plus a moment condition, if the localization survives; (2) keep it but show necessity — exhibit an unbounded-volatility example where the conclusion fails; (3) keep it as a convenience — state exactly which step uses it (a uniform estimate feeding a compactness argument), explain why relaxation needs genuinely new tools, and record it as an explicit open problem. Option 3 is acceptable at this venue only with the precise pointer to the step.

Letter mechanics for a proofs journal

  • Quote each comment verbatim, respond beneath it, and give page/equation/label coordinates for every change — referees re-verify proofs and need exact targets.
  • Where a proof changed, summarize the new argument in two sentences in the letter so the referee can decide whether to re-read the full appendix.
  • List any changes made beyond the referees' requests (renumbered assumptions, notation fixes) so nothing in the diff looks unexplained.
  • Keep mathematical disagreement impersonal: counter with a lemma or a reference, never with an appeal to authority.

Response paragraph pattern

text
We thank the referee for identifying this issue. We have revised [theorem/lemma/
assumption] on page X and added [proof/detail] in Appendix Y. The revised argument
now verifies [condition], which is required for [external theorem/result]. We also
added a paragraph explaining the financial interpretation of this assumption.
