# Advanced Materials Revision (advmat-revision) ## When to trigger - Reviewer reports and an editor decision (major/minor revision, or reject) have arrived - You need a point-by-point response and a marked-up manuscript - Referees asked for additional characterization, benchmarking, or stability data - The decision is a rejection and you must decide: appeal, revise-and-resubmit, or transfer - A coauthor is drafting rebuttal language before the manuscript has actually changed ## Read the decision before the reports The editor's letter sets the terms; read it first. - **Minor revision** — largely presentational or small additions; turn it around promptly and precisely. - **Major revision** — substantive concerns; usually requires *new data* (added characterization, controls, stability). Address the science first, the prose second. - **Reject with encouragement to resubmit** — treat as a major revision with a higher bar; the resubmission is judged largely on whether the core objection is truly resolved. - **Reject** — decide between a reasoned appeal (only if the editor/referee made a clear factual error) and a **transfer** to a sibling Wiley journal (Adv.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill advmat-revision --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
