car-rebuttal
Use when a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) revise-and-resubmit arrives — planning the revision and drafting a point-by-point response to two reviewers and the subject Editor, including any new analyses, robustness, and updated Data Integrity/code-sharing materials. Drafts the response; it does not run the new estimation (car-data-analysis) or the final preflight (car-submission).

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# R&R Rebuttal (car-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You received a CAR revise-and-resubmit and must plan revisions and the response - Reviewers asked for new identification tests, experiments, or model robustness - The subject Editor's letter sets priorities you must address first - You need to reconcile the response with CAR's code-sharing and data-availability requirements ## Plan the revision before writing the letter - Build a **concordance**: every point from Reviewer 1, Reviewer 2, and the subject Editor, each mapped to a concrete action (new test, added robustness, reframing, clarification, or a reasoned push-back). - Let the **subject Editor's letter set priority** — it signals which concerns are decisive at CAR, where the subject Editor disposes and the **EIC approves all acceptances**. - Do the analytical/empirical work *first*; only then draft the response. **Invited revisions pay no further submission fee**, so the constraint is substance and the editor's deadline, not cost. ## Respond by tradition - **Archival.** Reviewers typically press on **identification and robustness** — new natural-experiment evidence, parallel-trends/placebo tests, alternative measures, addition

What does the car-rebuttal skill do?
Use when a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) revise-and-resubmit arrives — planning the revision and drafting a point-by-point response to two reviewers and the subject Editor, including any new analyses, robustness, and updated Data Integrity/code-sharing materials.

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