jet-rebuttal
Use when building the response letter for a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) revise-and-resubmit — address each single-anonymized referee's correctness, generality, and exposition points, supply corrected or strengthened proofs or counterexamples, and show exactly where the .tex was changed. For R&Rs; it does not invent referee taste.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# R&R Rebuttal (jet-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You received an R&R (or a reject-and-resubmit) from JET and must reply to referees - A referee flagged a gap in a proof, an unstated assumption, or a missing case - You need to position generalizations the editor and two referees asked for ## How JET R&Rs work - Decisions come from the **editor** synthesizing **two-plus single-anonymized referee** reports. Because review is **single-blind**, referees may know your prior work — engage substance, not identity. - For theory, the highest-stakes comments are about **correctness and scope**: an alleged hole in a proof, an assumption doing more work than acknowledged, a claimed "general" result that secretly needs finiteness/continuity/convexity, or a counterexample to a stated proposition. ## Response strategy 1. **Triage by severity.** Correctness issues first (a broken lemma sinks the paper), then generality and necessity-of-assumption questions, then exposition. 2. **For a proof gap:** either supply the corrected/complete argument or, if the result is false as stated, **narrow the claim** to what the proof supports and say so plainly. Never paper over a hole. 3. **For "is assumption X

What does the jet-rebuttal skill do?
Use when building the response letter for a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) revise-and-resubmit — address each single-anonymized referee's correctness, generality, and exposition points, supply corrected or strengthened proofs or counterexamples, and show exactly where the .tex was changed. For R&Rs; it does not invent referee taste.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jet-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?
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.
