jfi-rebuttal
Use when planning an R&R response letter for the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) — single-blind review where referees know you, often a small number of expert reports, a narrow appeal path, and pushback centered on the intermediation channel. It structures the response; it does not fabricate results.

# R&R Rebuttal Strategy (jfi-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You received an R&R or a reject-with-encouragement and must reply to referees and the Managing Editor - War-gaming likely objections before submitting (pre-mortem) ## JFI-specific posture (verified 2026-06-20; re-confirm on the official page) - Review is **single-anonymized (single-blind)** — referees know who you are, so tone matters and gratuitous self-defense reads poorly. - A paper may rest on a **minimum of one expert reviewer**, so a single decisive report can shape the outcome; treat each point as potentially pivotal. - A formal appeal may be possible under Elsevier's appeal policy, but only one appeal per submission is considered and the appeal decision is final. The response letter is still your main instrument; make it count rather than relying on later escalation. - The reviewer is a **banking / financial-intermediation specialist** — answer in the field's terms (identification of the intermediary mechanism, sample/bank-panel construction, robustness), not generic prose. ## Response-letter structure 1. **Cover note to the Managing Editor** — summarize the 2–4 substantive changes and how the paper is now stronger

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