Use when writing the response document for an Academy of Management Review (AMR) Revise & Resubmit — structuring point-by-point replies that show the theory was genuinely strengthened, not just defended. Drafts the response; revise the manuscript's theory FIRST (amr-theory-development / amr-data-analysis) before writing the letter.

# R&R Response Document (amr-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You have an AMR R&R (Major Revision) or a Reject & Resubmit you intend to pursue - The theory has been revised and you now need the response-to-reviewers document - You must adjudicate conflicting reviewer requests in writing > Revise the *theory* before you write the letter. A rebuttal that argues without changing > the manuscript fails at AMR. Run `amr-data-analysis` and `amr-theory-development` first. ## Structure of the response 1. **Opening to the editor.** Thank the team; summarize the *theoretical* changes at a high level (new construct definitions, sharpened mechanism, added boundary conditions, clearer contribution). One short paragraph — substance, not flattery. 2. **Roadmap of major changes.** A short list of the biggest theory moves you made, so the editor sees the revision's shape before the point-by-point. 3. **Point-by-point responses.** For every reviewer comment, in order: - Restate the comment (verbatim or faithfully paraphrased). - State what you changed in the theory. - Quote or cite the revised manuscript location (section/proposition/page). - If you disagree, argue it on theoretical grounds — respectf

What does the amr-rebuttal skill do?
Use when writing the response document for an Academy of Management Review (AMR) Revise & Resubmit — structuring point-by-point replies that show the theory was genuinely strengthened, not just defended.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill amr-rebuttal --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.
