msom-rebuttal
Use after a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) revise-and-resubmit — planning the revision around the Department Editor and Associate Editor priorities, then drafting a point-by-point response to referees while preserving operations centrality, the structured abstract, and the 32-page typeset cap. Drives the revision; revise the manuscript before drafting the letter.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# R&R Rebuttal (msom-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You received an M&SOM major/minor revision and must plan the response - Referees ask for additional numerical studies, robustness, or identification work - The DE/AE flag operations centrality, tractability, or managerial relevance - You are drafting the point-by-point response letter ## Revise first, then write the letter Plan from the **Department Editor and Associate Editor** signals first — in M&SOM's department-routed model, their priorities are the binding contract; referee points must each be **addressed or carefully rebutted**. Do the actual modeling/analysis work before writing prose: add the proposition, run the requested numerical study, strengthen the identification. Then write a response that maps each comment to a concrete change. ## Common M&SOM revision demands - **Analytical:** generalize or relax a binding assumption and show the policy structure survives (or characterize when it does not); add comparative statics; expand the **numerical study** to quantify magnitudes versus benchmarks and stress assumptions; move heavy proofs to the **≤16-page supplement**. - **Empirical:** shore up identification (additional in

What does the msom-rebuttal skill do?
Use after a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) revise-and-resubmit — planning the revision around the Department Editor and Associate Editor priorities, then drafting a point-by-point response to referees while preserving operations centrality, the structured abstract, and the 32-page typeset cap.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill msom-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 984 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.
