What it does
Respol Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting the response to a Research Policy (RP) decision letter — converting double-blind referee and handling-editor comments into a point-by-point response and a revision plan that protects the innovation-studies contribution. Builds the response strategy; it is the terminal skill in the pack.
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.

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
Respol Rebuttal loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 573 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- respol-rebuttal
- description
- Use when drafting the response to a Research Policy (RP) decision letter — converting double-blind referee and handling-editor comments into a point-by-point response and a revision plan that protects the innovation-studies contribution. Builds the response strategy; it is the terminal skill in the pack.
Rebuttal Strategy (respol-rebuttal)
When to trigger
- An RP major/minor revision arrived and you must turn comments into a response letter
- Referees disagree with each other and you need a coherent line across both
- A referee challenges a patent/bibliometric construct, an identification choice, or the scope
- The handling editor's summary signals which points are binding for acceptance
- You are tempted to concede everything (losing the contribution) or rebut everything (losing the editor)
How RP rebuttals are read
The Handling Editor who managed your double-blind review reads the response and decides. Their summary letter is the priority signal: address those points first and unambiguously. Referees are innovation-studies experts, so a credible response defends the innovation claim and its constructs with evidence, not rhetoric — and concedes gracefully where they are right. The fastest route to a second rejection is a response that argues with referees instead of resolving their concern, or that fixes wording while leaving a substantive construct/identification challenge unanswered.
Building the response
- Open with the editor. A short cover note: thank the editor and referees, state the main changes, and map them to the editor's summary points.
- Point-by-point, quote-then-respond. Restate each comment verbatim, then respond. For each: (a) what you changed, (b) where (section/table/page), (c) the result. Make the change visible, not merely promised.
- Triage by stakes.
- Must-fix (binding): construct validity of patent/bibliometric measures, identification/endogeneity, out-of-scope framing, overclaiming. These decide acceptance — resolve with new analysis or honest reframing.
- Framing/positioning: re-anchor in the RP/innovation-studies canon; sharpen the contribution.
- Discretionary: exhibits, clarity, citations — make them; they build goodwill.
- Defend with evidence, concede with grace. Where a referee is right, fix it and say so. Where a referee is wrong, show the analysis (a robustness check, a construct test) rather than asserting; if a request is infeasible, explain why and offer the closest feasible alternative.
- Protect the contribution. Do not let scattered concessions erode the innovation-studies claim; if a requested change would dilute it, propose a way to satisfy the concern without abandoning the advance.
- Reconcile conflicting referees. State the tension openly and choose a defensible course; tell the editor how you weighed the two.

RP-specific pushbacks and how to answer
- "Your patent/citation measure is endogenous / a poor proxy." → Add a bias-targeted check (examiner vs. applicant citations, self-citation correction, alternative indicator) and report stability.
- "This reads like economics/strategy, not innovation studies." → Re-anchor the framing and references in the RP canon; foreground the innovation-system/policy implication.
- "The contribution is incremental / technique-driven." → Restate before→after for innovation studies; show the new mechanism or boundary the evidence establishes.
- "Robustness is thin." → Vary the key innovation construct and the specification; show the result is not an artifact of the measure.
Checklist
- A cover note maps the main changes to the handling editor's summary points
- Every comment is quoted then answered with what/where/result
- Binding construct/identification/scope points are resolved with evidence, not rhetoric
- Concessions are made where referees are right, without eroding the contribution
- Conflicting referee requests are reconciled explicitly for the editor
- A change log / tracked-changes manuscript accompanies the letter
- The revised paper still anchors clearly in innovation studies
Anti-patterns
- Arguing with a referee instead of resolving the concern
- Fixing wording while leaving a substantive construct/identification challenge unanswered
- Conceding so broadly that the innovation-studies contribution disappears
- Ignoring the editor's summary and answering only the referees
- Claiming a change without showing where it landed in the manuscript
- Promising future work in place of doing the requested analysis
