Agent skill

jebo-referee-strategy

Use when anticipating the objections a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) referee will raise before submitting — demand effects, mechanism-vs-alternative, external validity, sibling-journal fit. Pre-empts the modal JEBO referee; it does not draft the rebuttal to a received report.

# Referee Strategy (jebo-referee-strategy) ## When to trigger - The draft is near-complete and you want to find the holes a referee will find first - You suspect a referee will say "interesting, but it belongs in [sibling journal]" - You cannot articulate why your behavioral mechanism beats the obvious alternative - A coauthor wants to know which objections are fatal vs. addressable - You are deciding what to add now vs. defend in the response letter ## Who referees for JEBO JEBO uses **single-anonymized** review (referees anonymous, authors named), typically **two-plus referees** after an editor screen (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). The modal referee is a behavioral or experimental economist who has *seen the closest prior experiment* and is alert to the standard ways a behavioral claim can fail. Single-anonymized review means your name and prior work are visible — consistency with your own record and the relevant literature matters. ## The objections JEBO referees raise most, and how to pre-empt | Referee objection | Pre-empt before submitting | |-------------------|----------------------------| | "This could be an experimenter-demand effect." | Build in a demand-effect bound/treatment; ad

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jebo-referee-strategy --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?

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.
