Use when building or revising exhibits for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript so they meet AEA house style and carry the policy message — no significance asterisks, a self-contained headline exhibit, and figures that show the policy effect with uncertainty. Designs exhibits; it does not run the estimation or write the surrounding prose.

# Tables & Figures — Exhibits that Carry the Policy Message (aejpol-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - Tables are dense, over-decorated with significance stars, or hard to read - The paper lacks one exhibit a reader could take away as the policy result - Figures show coefficients but not the policy-relevant magnitude or its uncertainty - You are preparing the final exhibit set for an AEA submission ## AEA / AEJ: Policy exhibit norms - **Report standard errors (or confidence intervals), not significance asterisks/boldface.** Put SEs in parentheses below estimates; the reader judges significance from the SE/CI. This is the house convention to follow. - **Self-contained.** Title and notes let an exhibit be read without the text: sample, units, estimator, clustering level, what is controlled, and what the number means in policy terms. - **Self-contained, not anonymized.** Review is single-blind, so exhibits need not hide authorship; keep notes clean and neutral (avoid stray local file paths) for readability, not for blinding. - **Figures** are the workhorse for policy communication: event-study plots with CIs, RDD plots with binned means and the fitted discontinuity, dose-response or

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