# Rebuttal Strategy (jmcb-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - A JMCB R&R or reject-and-resubmit letter arrived and you need a response plan - Two referees disagree (e.g., one wants a structural model, the other wants reduced-form transparency) and you must reconcile them - The editor's letter prioritizes some points over others and you need to honor that hierarchy - A report demands analysis that touches identification or measurement and you must decide what is feasible ## Reading the JMCB decision letter At JMCB the **editor's letter is the governing document** — it tells you which referee points are binding, which are advisory, and what the bar for the next round is. Read it first and let it set priorities; do not weight all referee comments equally. Note the decision type: an R&R asks for a revision under the same desk; a reject-and-resubmit (sometimes after a no-fee resubmission window) is a fresh start that still benefits from addressing the prior reports. Confirm the resubmission fee status (resubmissions of invited revisions are typically fee-exempt — 待核实). ## Building the response 1. **Open with a brief summary** of the main changes and the new evidence, so the editor sees the r

About this skill
What does the jmcb-rebuttal skill do?

Use when a Journal of Money, Credit and Banking (JMCB) decision letter or referee report has arrived and you need a response-letter strategy and revision plan. Turns the reports into a prioritized, point-by-point rebuttal; it does not re-run the core analysis or re-write the paper.

How do I install it?

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