jel-revision
Use when responding to editor and referee feedback on a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey — coverage gaps, balance complaints, framework/structure asks, and accessibility. Drafts the response letter and revision plan; it does not run the submission preflight (jel-submission) or redesign the spine from scratch (jel-organizing-framework).

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.
# Revision & Response for a Survey (jel-revision) ## When to trigger - An editor/referee letter on the survey arrived (revise-and-resubmit or major revision) - Referees flagged missing literatures, imbalance, or "reads like a list" - The editor asked to expand, cut, or rebalance coverage - You need a point-by-point response letter for a survey, not a primary paper ## Categories of survey feedback (and how to answer each) JEL revision asks cluster differently from primary-research asks. Triage every point into one bucket: | Feedback type | Typical phrasing | Response move | |---------------|------------------|---------------| | **Coverage gap** | "you omit the X literature / author Y" | almost always *concede and integrate* — place the missing work in the right framework cell; re-run saturation (`jel-literature-synthesis`) | | **Balance / fairness** | "this slights school Z / over-cites the author" | steelman the slighted side; re-audit self-citation (`jel-comprehensiveness-and-balance`) | | **Framework / structure** | "this is an annotated bibliography" | strengthen or make explicit the spine (`jel-organizing-framework`); do not just reorder paragraphs | | **Appraisal accuracy** |

What does the jel-revision skill do?
Use when responding to editor and referee feedback on a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey — coverage gaps, balance complaints, framework/structure asks, and accessibility. Drafts the response letter and revision plan; it does not run the submission preflight (jel-submission) or redesign the spine from scratch (jel-organizing-framework).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jel-revision --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.
