aeri-tables-figures
Use when building or trimming the exhibits of an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript to the hard five-exhibit budget, one page each, no significance asterisks. Designs the minimum exhibit set; it does not run the analysis behind them.

# Tables & Figures — Five-Exhibit Budget (aeri-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - The draft has more than five figures-plus-tables - An exhibit spills past one page, or carries significance asterisks/boldface - Each exhibit costs 200 words of your text budget and you must choose - The central result is buried in a dense multi-panel table ## The AER: Insights exhibit constraints (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准) - **Maximum five exhibits** (figures or tables combined). Manuscripts over the limit are **returned unreviewed**. - **Each exhibit is limited to one page.** - **Each exhibit subtracts 200 words** from the main-text allowance (7,000 with zero exhibits → 6,000 with five). So every exhibit must out-earn 200 words of prose. - **AEA house style:** report standard errors / confidence sets; **no asterisks or boldface to denote significance** (an AEA-wide convention). Notes state the estimator, sample, clustering, and units. ## Budgeting the five slots Choose the exhibit set that, together, tells the single-insight story. A common allocation for an empirical short paper: | Slot | Typical content | |------|-----------------| | 1 | The **headline result** — the one figure or table a reader rememb

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