mathfin-rebuttal
Use when responding to a Mathematical Finance (Wiley) revise-and-resubmit — triages referee comments on theorem novelty, proof gaps, martingale and integrability conditions, assumption scope, counterexamples, exposition, numerical support, and financial-modelling relevance into a point-by-point letter plus aligned manuscript edits.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# R&R Rebuttal (mathfin-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - A revision decision arrives from *Mathematical Finance* - Referees identify proof gaps, unclear assumptions, missing novelty, or weak financial interpretation - You need a point-by-point response letter and aligned manuscript edits ## Triage categories 1. **Proof correctness**: missing lemma, invalid theorem application, local/true martingale issue, integrability, measurability, boundary condition. 2. **Assumption scope**: too strong, too weak, unstated, or not financially interpretable. 3. **Novelty**: overlap with prior theorem, special-case concern, missing citation. 4. **Financial modelling relevance**: theorem correct but payoff unclear. 5. **Exposition**: notation, definitions, appendix navigation, numerical explanation. ## Response strategy - Fix proof gaps directly; do not argue around them. - When an assumption cannot be relaxed, explain why it is necessary and what it means financially. - If novelty is questioned, compare theorem-by-theorem with the closest prior work. - Add financial interpretation after formal statements, not only in the introduction. - Move long derivations to appendices and point referees to exact

What does the mathfin-rebuttal skill do?
Use when responding to a Mathematical Finance (Wiley) revise-and-resubmit — triages referee comments on theorem novelty, proof gaps, martingale and integrability conditions, assumption scope, counterexamples, exposition, numerical support, and financial-modelling relevance into a point-by-point letter plus aligned manuscript edits.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill mathfin-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.
