revacc-rebuttal
Use when a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) revise-and-resubmit has arrived and you must plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — resolving the editor's first-order concerns (identification, the channel, measurement, or the model) before writing the letter. Plans and drafts the response; it does not run the new analyses from scratch (revacc-data-analysis) or re-run the submission preflight (revacc-submission).

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# R&R Revision & Response (revacc-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You received a RAST **revise-and-resubmit** and must plan the revision - You need to draft the point-by-point response to the editor and referees - Referees disagree and you must triage which concerns are binding - New analyses change tables and the manuscript needs re-aligning - An analytical paper's referee disputes an assumption or a proposition ## An R&R at RAST is a strong signal — treat it accordingly Because RAST often decides on the first round, an R&R is a meaningful vote of confidence rather than routine. That raises the stakes on getting the revision right: you may not get a third round, so resolve the **editor's first-order concerns substantively**, not rhetorically. Do the analytical (or modeling) work **before** drafting the letter — a RAST R&R turns on whether you have actually strengthened **identification, the economic channel, construct measurement, or the model**, not on rhetorical skill. ## Triage the referee points - **First-order (must resolve):** endogeneity/identification threats, an unidentified channel, fragile or invalid construct measurement, sample-construction concerns; for analytical pap

What does the revacc-rebuttal skill do?
Use when a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) revise-and-resubmit has arrived and you must plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — resolving the editor's first-order concerns (identification, the channel, measurement, or the model) before writing the letter.

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