aeri-rebuttal

aeri-rebuttal is a skill for Claude Code from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,055 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A response-planning guide for a conditional acceptance from American Economic Review: Insights, a short economics journal. It turns the editor’s requested changes into a concise reply and revision plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map an editor’s letter to specific edits, write a non-defensive response, and plan the final revision.
Why use it?
It helps authors address every required change within the short revision window without reopening settled parts of the paper.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aeri-rebuttal scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Conditional-Accept Response (aeri-rebuttal)

When to trigger

  • A conditional accept letter arrived from AER: Insights
  • You must return a revised short paper within the conditional window (~8 weeks)
  • The letter lists changes the editor expects, and you need a tight response
  • You received a reject and are deciding what to do (see end of this skill)

What an AER: Insights conditional accept means (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准)

AER: Insights does not issue traditional revise-and-resubmit decisions. A conditional accept means the editor expects to publish the paper subject to the changes in the decision letter; authors typically get about 8 weeks to return the revision, which is normally not sent back to referees. The conditions are meant to be achievable without substantial uncertainty — this is finishing, not relitigating. So the response is short, complete, and non-defensive: do what the letter asks, document it crisply, and do not reopen settled issues.

How to respond

  1. Treat the letter as a punch list. Map every requested change to a concrete edit; nothing is "optional."
  2. Comply, don't argue. Since there is no referee round to win, push back only where a request is genuinely infeasible or would be wrong — and then offer an alternative that satisfies the underlying concern.
  3. Keep the response letter short. One numbered item per request: the request, what you did, where in the paper (section/exhibit/line). Editors of a short journal reward concision.
  4. Protect the caps. Edits must keep the paper within 7,000 − 200×(#exhibits) words and ≤5 exhibits — added text or an added exhibit can re-breach the gate. Move new material to the Supplemental Appendix (aeri-robustness).
  5. Finalize the replication package. A conditional accept means the AEA Data Editor check is imminent; have the deposit ready (aeri-replication-package).
  6. Keep the single insight intact. Do not let requested additions turn the short paper into a sprawling one.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
