Individual skill
lang-rebuttal
Use when responding to a Language (LSA) decision — a revise-and-resubmit response letter, or an author Rejoinder in the Perspectives target-article-and-commentaries format. Turns reviewer objections into a point-by-point revision plan that engages rival frameworks and firms up evidence. Structures the response; it does not fabricate new results.

# Rebuttal & Response (lang-rebuttal)
Two *Language* situations call for a structured reply: an **R&R response letter** answering referees on
a research article, and an author **Rejoinder** replying to invited Commentaries in the **Perspectives**
format. Both reward the same posture — engage every point fairly, concede what is right, and defend what
you keep with **data and predictions**, not tone. This skill turns the letter into a plan; it does not
invent results.
## When to trigger
- You received a **revise-and-resubmit** or **major/minor revisions** decision
- You are writing a **Rejoinder** to Commentaries on a Perspectives target article
- You need to convert a stack of referee comments into a tracked, point-by-point response
- Reviewers disagree with each other and you must reconcile the paths
