What it does

Demog Rebuttal is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when writing the response to a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) revise-and-resubmit. Demography review is double-blind and synthesized by a topic-area Deputy Editor, so the response must convert every expert reviewer on demographic substance (rates, identification, methods) without alienating the editor. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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

Example prompts

  • “/demog-rebuttal”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the editor's / Deputy Editor's letter as the rubric. It signals which points are decisive
  2. One point-by-point response, every comment addressed. Quote each comment, then respond. Never
  3. Concede or rebut explicitly, with demographic evidence. For each: did what was asked (say where,
  4. Reconcile conflicting reviewers openly. When R2 wants a different identifying assumption than
  5. Protect the contribution. Add robustness (alternative exposures, sensitivity to APC constraints,
  6. Keep anonymity intact in the revised manuscript (still double-blind), and **update the

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

Demog Rebuttal loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 437 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 437 words (~1,075 tokens).

“A Demography R&R is a real opportunity — expert demographers thought the contribution is worth saving. But the Editor decides on the recommendation of a topic-area Deputy Editor who synthesized the reviews, so the response letter must move every reviewer…”
