What it does
Worlddev Referee Strategy is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when anticipating the objections a World Development (WD) manuscript will draw under double-anonymized, multidisciplinary review. Pre-empts referee pushback before submission; 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.

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 Referee Strategy loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 583 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.

Referee Strategy (worlddev-referee-strategy)
When to trigger
- Before submitting, to war-game the reports the paper will draw
- The paper sits between disciplines and could face one economist and one non-economist referee with incompatible standards
- A previous WD or sibling-journal rejection cited objections that were never addressed
- The development relevance is implicit and a referee could read the paper as "just an applied estimate"
- You need to decide what to fix now vs. what to defend in the response letter
The WD review reality
WD review is double-anonymized: at least two independent referees, who cannot see who you are (and you cannot see them). Because WD is multidisciplinary, the referee pool is heterogeneous in method and standard — a single paper may be read by an applied economist who wants tighter identification and a development sociologist who wants richer context and reflexivity. The strategic implication: a WD paper must satisfy more than one evidentiary culture at once. A paper that is bulletproof to one referee community but illegible or naive to the other is the classic WD split-decision that stalls.
Anonymize hard, too — WD's double-blind model means self-citation patterns, "in our previous work," named local institutions, or a give-away acknowledgments line can unmask you and prejudice review.
War-gaming the two referee archetypes
| Referee lens | What they will attack | Pre-empt by |
|---|---|---|
| The methodologist (often an economist) | identification, clustering, measurement, robustness, over-claiming | Tight design diagnostics; threat-organized robustness; claims matched to warrant |
| The contextualist (political scientist / sociologist / area expert) | thin context, no mechanism, no reflexivity, decontextualized numbers, weak external relevance | Grounded institutional detail; a load-bearing framework; scope conditions; named place |
The best WD papers anticipate both columns. Map each anticipated objection to a place in the paper that already answers it, and note where you will defend rather than concede.
Predictable WD objections and the fix
- "Interesting, but what's the development contribution?" → Foreground stakes and policy/practice implication; this is the most common WD desk-or-referee killer.
- "This is an applied paper that could be set anywhere." → Show what the development context specifically teaches; argue external relevance.
- "OLS with controls is presented as causal." → Strengthen the design or downgrade the claim (see
worlddev-identification). - "The qualitative evidence is cherry-picked." → Add negative cases and a systematic display.
- "The framework is decorative." → Make it load-bearing or cut it.
- "Generalizing from one site." → State scope conditions; do not claim more than the case supports.
- "Numbers with no human meaning." → Translate magnitudes into development-relevant units.

Suggesting reviewers (where the portal allows)
If Editorial Manager invites suggested/opposed reviewers, propose scholars who span the disciplines the paper bridges — not only co-authors' allies — to ensure the contextualist side is read by someone equipped to value it. Justify briefly. Oppose only with a concrete conflict, sparingly.
Checklist
- Each likely objection from BOTH the methodologist and contextualist columns is mapped to where the paper answers it
- The development contribution is explicit enough to survive the "so what?" referee
- External relevance / scope conditions stated for single-site or single-case work
- Manuscript fully anonymized (self-citation, prior-work phrasing, acknowledgments, identifying institutions)
- Qualitative evidence pre-empts the "cherry-picked" charge with negative cases
- Concede-vs-defend decided for each major anticipated objection
- Suggested reviewers (if used) span the relevant disciplines
Anti-patterns
- Optimizing only for the economist referee and ignoring the contextualist who will also be assigned
- Leaving the development "so what" implicit and hoping the referee infers it
- Self-citation or "our earlier study" that unmasks the authors under double-anonymization
- Suggesting only friendly, same-method reviewers
- Planning to defend every objection in rebuttal instead of fixing the cheap ones now
