Use when revising an Art Bulletin manuscript after a decision and writing the response to referees — converting double-blind reviewers without diluting the art-historical contribution, while keeping anonymity and the image/permissions plan on track. Structures the response; it does not fabricate new evidence.

# Revision & Response (artbull-revision-and-response) A revise-and-resubmit at The Art Bulletin is a real opening: promising work that needs more. The revision and its **response to referees** must move *every* reviewer toward yes while protecting the contribution — and, because review stays **double-blind**, the revised files must remain anonymized and the **image/permissions** plan must keep pace with any new figures. ## When to trigger - A decision arrived (R&R or revise) and you are planning the revision + response letter - Referees disagree and you must reconcile their demands - A referee asked for analysis, evidence, or images that change the paper - Writing the cover note to the editor summarizing the revision ## Strategy 1. **Read the editor's letter as the rubric.** The editor signals which points are decisive; solve those first and let the editor's framing guide how you weigh conflicting referees. 2. **Respond point by point — answer every comment.** Quote each comment, then respond. Silence reads as non-compliance. 3. **Concede or rebut explicitly, with reasons.** For each: say what you changed and **where** (page, section, figure number), or push back **respectfully** o

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill artbull-revision-and-response --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.
