isr-rebuttal
Use when planning and drafting the response to an Information Systems Research (ISR) revise-and-resubmit — prioritizing the Senior Editor's binding concerns, addressing genre-specific reviewer asks (assumptions/proofs, identification/validity, evaluation), updating the contribution statement, and using the electronic companion. Drafts the revision and response; it runs after isr-review-process.

ISR review is developmental and SE-led, so the response is a **conversation with the Senior Editor**, organized around their synthesis. ## Prioritize by who decides 1. **Senior Editor's binding concerns first.** The SE makes the final decision; their letter defines what *must* change. Address these completely and visibly, even when individual reviewers disagree among themselves — and when they do, let the SE's framing arbitrate. 2. **Contribution/fit challenges next.** If the SE or a reviewer questioned the **contribution to IS** or the intradisciplinary framing, treat it as primary: strengthen the mechanism/insight, sharpen the silo-bridging claim, and **update the ~500-word contribution statement** to match the revis

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