# Revision & Response for a Perspective (ppsych-revision) ## When to trigger - A PoPS decision letter (major/minor revision, or reject-and-resubmit) arrived - Reviewers flagged missing literatures, imbalance, mischaracterization, or "reads like a list" - The editor asked to broaden, sharpen, or rebalance the argument, or to strengthen open science - You need a point-by-point response for a perspective, not a primary paper ## Categories of review feedback (and how to answer each) PoPS revision asks cluster differently from primary-research asks. Triage every point into one bucket: | Feedback type | Typical phrasing | Response move | |---------------|------------------|---------------| | **Scope / superordinate message** | "this reads like a single study / one paradigm" | sharpen the broad claim; show the cross-area payoff (`ppsych-topic-selection`) | | **Coverage gap** | "you omit the X literature / area Y" | almost always *concede and integrate* — place it in the right framework cell; re-run saturation (`ppsych-literature-synthesis`) | | **Balance / fairness** | "this slights camp Z / over-cites the author / one-sided reform" | steelman the slighted side; re-audit self-citation and

About this skill
What does the ppsych-revision skill do?

Use when responding to a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) editor and reviewer decision letter — coverage gaps, balance/fairness complaints, framework/argument asks, accessibility, and open-science requests. Drafts the response and revision plan; it does not run the submission preflight (ppsych-submission) or redesign the spine from scratch (ppsych-organizing-framework).

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ppsych-revision --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.
