What it does

Qje Rebuttal is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when a Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) decision letter arrives (R&R or reject-and-resubmit) and a response strategy and letter are needed. Structures the revision and response; it does not redo the analysis (route to the relevant qje- skill for that).

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

  • A Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) decision letter arrives (R&R
  • Reject-and-resubmit) and a response strategy and letter are needed

Example prompts

  • “/qje-rebuttal”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Decode the Editor. The Editor's letter ranks the issues. A point the Editor underscores is binding; a point only one referee raised and…
  2. Classify every comment. For each referee point, tag it: fundamental (must add analysis), clarification (rewrite/explain), or disagreement…
  3. Sequence the work. Do the analysis first (route fundamentals to qje-identification / qje-robustness / qje-theory-model), update exhibits…
  4. Never pick a fight you can win with a robustness check. If a check settles it, run the check; reserve disagreement for points where 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

Qje Rebuttal loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 490 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
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 490 words (~1,053 tokens).

“At an unconditional acceptance rate of only ~1-4%, an R&R from one of QJE's five Harvard-based Editors is a rare and valuable signal — treat it as a near-final opportunity and address everything substantive in this round rather than negotiating…”
