jme-rebuttal
Use after a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) revise-and-resubmit to plan the response letter and revision — given JME's distinctive "up or out" rule (the resubmission ends in acceptance or rejection, no second R&R) and the ~50% publication-likelihood signal an R&R carries.

# R&R Rebuttal Strategy (jme-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - A JME decision letter invited a revise-and-resubmit - You are drafting the response-to-referees letter and the revision plan - You need to prioritize which referee points are make-or-break ## What an R&R means at JME An R&R at JME is a **strong signal** — editors invite a resubmission **only when they judge at least a 50% likelihood of ultimate publication.** But it is **not** a green light to iterate forever. The defining rule is **"up or out": the resubmission must result in acceptance or rejection — there is no second round of revise-and-resubmit.** Your one revision has to **fully resolve** the editors' and (typically two) referees' concerns. Treat every substantive comment as decision-relevant; an unaddressed major point can flip the outcome to reject because there is no further round to fix it. Because review is **single anonymized** (referees know who you are), keep the tone collegial and precise, and address each referee directly. ## Building the response - **Triage**: separate **make-or-break** concerns (identification of the shock, the information-effect critique, a disputed SVAR ordering, a DSGE identification o

What does the jme-rebuttal skill do?
Use after a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) revise-and-resubmit to plan the response letter and revision — given JME's distinctive "up or out" rule (the resubmission ends in acceptance or rejection, no second R&R) and the ~50% publication-likelihood signal an R&R carries.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jme-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.
