jleo-rebuttal
Use when a Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO) decision letter has arrived and you need a response-letter strategy — triaging an institutional-economist referee's report into a credible revision and point-by-point reply. Plans the rebuttal; it does not redo the analysis (route back to the relevant jleo-* skill).

# Rebuttal Strategy (jleo-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - A JLEO R&R or major-revision letter arrived and you must plan the response before editing - Two referees pull in opposite directions (one wants more theory, one more empirics) and you must reconcile - A referee challenges the institutional mechanism or the identification of a *chosen* governance/institution - The editor's letter signals which concerns are decisive and which are optional - You need a point-by-point response that an institutional-economics referee will read as responsive, not evasive ## Reading a JLEO decision letter JLEO editors and referees come from the institutional and organizational economics communities, and their reports tend to probe the **mechanism** and the **credibility of a chosen institutional object** harder than the marginal estimate. Before drafting, decode the letter: 1. **Find the editor's weighting.** The editor's cover note usually signals which referee points are binding. Solve those first; treat the rest as secondary unless cheap. 2. **Separate the conceptual from the technical.** Institutional referees raise two kinds of point: "your mechanism is not what you claim / your contribution is

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