What it does

Wp Rebuttal is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when writing the response to a World Politics revise-and-resubmit. World Politics suggests author response memos not exceed about five pages single-spaced, and revised articles may exceed the word limit only when growth results from responding to reviewers; the response must convert each anonymous reviewer while keeping the editors confident. Structures the response; it does not fabricate new results.

Its SKILL.md is about 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.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the editors' letter as the rubric. It signals which points are decisive. Solve those first;
  2. One point-by-point response, every comment addressed — but tight. Quote each comment, then
  3. Concede or rebut explicitly, with evidence. For each: did what was asked (say where, with 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

Wp Rebuttal loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 435 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 435 words (~1,038 tokens).

“A World Politics R&R is a strong signal. But review is triple-blind: you do not know the reviewers, and your response is read inside an anonymous process. World Politics also suggests author response memos not exceed five pages, single-spaced, so…”
