Academic Paper Writing Pipeline
Imbad0202/academic-research-skills
Runs a 12-agent pipeline that plans, drafts, cites, reviews and formats academic papers, with modes for revision, rebuttals, abstracts and citation checks.
A skill your agent uses when responding to a World Development (WD) decision letter — major/minor revision or reject-and-resubmit — under double-anonymized, multidisciplinary review.

What it does
Worlddev Rebuttal is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when responding to a World Development (WD) decision letter — major/minor revision or reject-and-resubmit — under double-anonymized, multidisciplinary review. Builds the response-letter strategy; it does not invent evidence or citations.
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 and Citation management. 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.

Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Open with gratitude and a one-paragraph summary of the major changes — let the editor see the shape before the detail.
- Reproduce every comment verbatim, then respond beneath each, in the referees' order. Number them (R1.1, R1.2, …) so nothing is missed.
- For each comment, state the action: changed (with location and a quoted snippet of the new text), or respectfully declined (with reasoned…
- Show, don't assert. "We have added a Callaway–Sant'Anna estimate (Table 5, p. 18) confirming the result" beats "we addressed this."
- Handle the referee split openly: state the tension, explain the synthesis, and tell the editor why it serves the paper — e.g., "R1 sought…
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
Worlddev Rebuttal loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 636 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.

Rebuttal Strategy (worlddev-rebuttal)
When to trigger
- A WD decision letter arrived: major revision, minor revision, or reject-and-resubmit
- Two referees pull in opposite directions (the methodologist vs. the contextualist split)
- A referee misread the paper and the instinct is to argue rather than to clarify
- The required changes are large and you must triage what to do vs. what to defend
- You are deciding whether to resubmit to WD or redirect to a sibling
Reading a WD decision letter
WD revisions are shaped by double-anonymized, multidisciplinary review, so two patterns recur. First, the editor's letter is the binding contract — referee reports advise, the editor decides; weight the editor's framing above any single referee. Second, because referees come from different evidentiary cultures, you will often face conflicting demands: one wants tighter identification, the other wants thicker context or reflexivity. You cannot satisfy both by capitulating to each; you must find the synthesis the editor will accept, and say so explicitly. Treat a reject-and-resubmit as a genuine second chance — WD uses it as a substantive invitation, not a soft no, but the bar is high and the cover letter must show real movement.
Building the response letter
- Open with gratitude and a one-paragraph summary of the major changes — let the editor see the shape before the detail.
- Reproduce every comment verbatim, then respond beneath each, in the referees' order. Number them (R1.1, R1.2, …) so nothing is missed.
- For each comment, state the action: changed (with location and a quoted snippet of the new text), or respectfully declined (with reasoned evidence). Never silently ignore a point.
- Show, don't assert. "We have added a Callaway–Sant'Anna estimate (Table 5, p. 18) confirming the result" beats "we addressed this."
- Handle the referee split openly: state the tension, explain the synthesis, and tell the editor why it serves the paper — e.g., "R1 sought a stronger design and R2 richer context; we strengthened the design (Sec. 4) and added the institutional account R2 requested (Sec. 5), which together make the mechanism more credible."

Triage: concede, strengthen, or defend
| Situation | Move |
|---|---|
| Cheap fix, improves the paper | Concede and do it — bank goodwill |
| Costly but right | Strengthen; show the new evidence |
| Referee misread the paper | Clarify (it is your exposition that failed); revise the text so the next reader can't misread, then note it |
| Referee wrong on substance | Defend with evidence and citation, courteously, sparingly — pick these battles |
| Demand would change the paper into a different (e.g. JDE-style) paper | Defend the WD framing; explain why the development contribution is the point |
Distinctive WD rebuttal traps
- Conceding so much to the methodologist that the development relevance erodes — protect the contribution that made it a WD paper.
- Dismissing the contextualist's reflexivity/ethics points as "not rigorous" — WD takes them seriously.
- Arguing instead of clarifying when a referee misunderstood — that reads as defensive and rarely persuades.
- Forgetting that the revised manuscript stays anonymized if the journal sends it back to the same blinded referees.
- A cover letter that summarizes changes the manuscript does not actually contain.
Checklist
- Editor's letter parsed first; its priorities weighted above any single referee
- Every comment reproduced and answered; none silently dropped
- Each response names the action + exact location of the change
- The referee split is addressed openly with a stated synthesis
- New analyses actually appear in the revised manuscript (no phantom changes)
- The development contribution is protected, not bargained away
- Revised manuscript remains anonymized for re-review
- Declined points are declined with evidence, courteously
Anti-patterns
- "We thank the reviewer and have addressed this" with no specifics or location
- Capitulating to every methodologist demand until the paper is no longer a development paper
- Treating reflexivity/ethics comments as unserious
- Arguing with a referee who simply misread, instead of fixing the exposition
- A response letter that claims changes the manuscript does not contain
