Agent skill

jhe-referee-strategy

Use when pre-morteming a Journal of Health Economics (JHE) manuscript against the objections its health-economist referees raise before submission. Anticipates and disarms likely pushback; it does not draft the response letter after a decision (jhe-rebuttal) or run the submission preflight.

# Referee Strategy (jhe-referee-strategy) ## When to trigger - The paper is near-final and you want to find the objections before a referee does - You suspect a specific weakness (selection, concurrent policy, overclaiming) a health economist will name - You are choosing what to put in the main text versus the appendix to pre-empt pushback - You want to write the introduction so it answers the first question a JHE referee will ask ## Who reviews at JHE and how Review is **single-anonymized** (referees know the authors; you do not know them) and suitable papers typically go to **at least two reviewers** for independent expert assessment (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). The referees are **health economists** — they hold the field's canonical results and the institutional facts of the program/market you study. The implication for strategy: you cannot hide behind anonymity, and you cannot bluff institutions. Anticipate the *health-econ-specific* objection, not the generic one, and answer it in the paper before it is asked. ## The JHE referee pre-mortem (objections in the order they arrive) | Likely objection | Pre-empt by | |------------------|-------------| | "This is selection, not the effect yo

About this skill
What does the jhe-referee-strategy skill do?

Use when pre-morteming a Journal of Health Economics (JHE) manuscript against the objections its health-economist referees raise before submission. Anticipates and disarms likely pushback; it does not draft the response letter after a decision (jhe-rebuttal) or run the submission preflight.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jhe-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.
