# Review of Finance Rebuttal Use this after an RoF decision letter. Because RoF aims to reach a final decision by the second round, the first revision is your one real chance — make the round-one response decisive rather than holding arguments back. ## When to trigger - An RoF R&R or first-round decision with referee reports has arrived. - You need to sequence revisions and draft a point-by-point response. - A second-round report raises a new concern and you must decide how to handle it. ## Response strategy - Separate the referees' major concerns required for publication from their suggestions, mirroring the two-bucket structure RoF asks referees to use; resolve every major concern fully before polishing suggestions. - Answer the finance contribution first, then identification, theory, data, robustness, and exposition. - Show, don't assert: point each response to the exact revised table, figure, section, and page; quote short new text. - Keep the revised manuscript within the hard 60-page total cap (appendices, bibliography, figures, tables all count). - If a new referee concern appears in round two, check whether it was raised in round one and whether it is tied to your changes;

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