What it does

Ajs Rebuttal is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when responding to an American Journal of Sociology (AJS) decision — an R&R response letter to multiple double-blind reviewers and the editor, or an author Reply to a published Comment in AJS's Comment-and-Reply tradition. Structures a persuasive, evidence-based response; it does not fabricate results or contact editors.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Responding to an American Journal of Sociology (AJS) decision — an R&R response letter to multiple double-blind reviewers and the editor
  • An author Reply to a published Comment in AJSs Comment-and-Reply tradition

Example prompts

  • “/ajs-rebuttal”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Open with a synthesis. Thank the editor/reviewers; state the 2–3 biggest changes up front so
  2. Point-by-point, verbatim. Quote each comment, then respond. Use a consistent format
  3. Concede or contest, explicitly. If you agree, show the change. If you disagree, give a
  4. Reconcile conflicting reviewers. When two anonymous reviewers disagree, adjudicate openly and
  5. Keep double-blind discipline in any re-uploaded files (the revision is still anonymized).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

Ajs Rebuttal loads about 851 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 328 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~851

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 328 words (~851 tokens).
