jeem-rebuttal
Use when a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) decision letter or referee report needs a response strategy — triaging R&R demands, planning new spatial/valuation robustness, and writing the response letter the editor and field referees expect. Plans the revision; it loops back to the analysis skills for the actual work.

# Rebuttal Strategy (jeem-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - A JEEM R&R, major-revision, or reject-and-resubmit letter has arrived - Two referees disagree (a methods referee vs. a policy referee) and you must satisfy both plus the editor - A referee demands new spatial SEs, an alternative valuation specification, or a leakage analysis - You need to decide what is a must-do versus a polite-decline before drafting responses - The headline welfare number moved under a requested check and you must decide how to present it ## Tone and structure of the response document The response is a professional document the editor and referees will reread alongside the revision, so structure it for their convenience. Open with a short cover note summarizing the major changes and where the core demand was addressed. Then reproduce each referee comment verbatim in a quoted block, followed by your response in plain text, followed by a pointer to the exact location in the revision ("see revised Section 4.2 and Table 5"). Keep the register collegial and evidence-led even when a referee erred; the editor is reading for whether you engaged seriously, not whether you won every exchange. Brevity that shows the

What does the jeem-rebuttal skill do?
Use when a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) decision letter or referee report needs a response strategy — triaging R&R demands, planning new spatial/valuation robustness, and writing the response letter the editor and field referees expect. Plans the revision; it loops back to the analysis skills for the actual work.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jeem-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.
