Use when responding to a Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP) decision — revise-and-resubmit or accept-with-revision — across a section editor and multiple masked reviewers, deciding when a concern needs new analyses, an internal-meta-analysis update, or new studies. Guides response strategy; it does not fabricate results or write the paper.

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.

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.
