About this skill
What does the humrel-rebuttal skill do?

Use when drafting the response to a Human Relations (HR) R&R after the manuscript has been revised — structuring the response letter and handling reviewer/editor comments in HR's developmental, theory-first culture. Drafts the response; it does not perform the underlying revisions (do those first).

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill humrel-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 984 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?
