misq-rebuttal
Use after a MIS Quarterly revision decision to plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — prioritizing the Senior Editor's letter, addressing tradition-specific rigor concerns (identification, validity/CMB, artifact evaluation, trustworthiness), updating the transparency materials, and keeping the revised manuscript within its page limit. Drafts the response after the manuscript is actually revised; interpret the decision first with misq-review-process.

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.
# Rebuttal & Response Letter (misq-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You received a major/minor revision (or a reject-and-resubmit) from MISQ - You have read the decision with misq-review-process and revised the manuscript - You need a point-by-point response that the Senior Editor and reviewers can audit ## Revise first, then write the response Do not draft the response letter before the manuscript is actually revised. The response is a map to real changes, not a promise of them. For each point, the revision in the manuscript comes first; the letter then points to where and how. ## Anchor the revision in the SE letter The **Senior Editor owns the decision**, so the SE's letter sets priorities. Build a triage table: SE-elevated concerns first, then AE and reviewer points, flagging where reviewers conflict. Resolve conflicts in the direction the SE signaled, and say so explicitly when you do. ## Address rigor in the currency of your tradition | Concern raised | A persuasive MISQ response... | |----------------|-------------------------------| | **Behavioral** validity / common-method bias | Adds procedural evidence, a marker/method-factor test, or shows interactions survive — not just

What does the misq-rebuttal skill do?
Use after a MIS Quarterly revision decision to plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — prioritizing the Senior Editor's letter, addressing tradition-specific rigor concerns (identification, validity/CMB, artifact evaluation, trustworthiness), updating the transparency materials, and keeping the revised manuscript within its page limit.

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