Extract: (1) the must-do list the AE endorses; (2) the paper-threatening comments (identification, invariance, contribution) vs. the effort comments (additional analyses, exposition); (3) the disagreements the AE expects *you* to adjudicate. Build the master grid: comment → owner skill → planned action → concede/counter → evidence needed. ## The demands JIM revisions typically turn on - **"Add another country / sample."** Decide on theory, not appeasement.

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.
