Use when building exhibits for an American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript — photographs, maps, site plans, artifact images, kinship diagrams, transcripts, evidence tables, and multimodal media — so they are self-contained, accessible (alt text), ethically cleared (consent, permissions), and count toward the word budget. Designs exhibits; it does not run analysis or clear permissions for you.

Exhibits also **cost words** (the Research-Article count includes figures, tables, references, and notes), and they carry **ethical and rights obligations** that other fields' charts do not. ## When to trigger - Designing the key photograph, map, site plan, artifact image, kinship/network diagram, or table - Preparing a transcript or evidence table linking claims to sources - Building a **Multimodal Anthropologies** piece where image/sound/film is the argument - A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, unlabeled, or ethically/rights-problematic ## Principles 1. **Self-contained.** A reader understands each exhibit from its caption, labels, and note alone — state place, date, what is shown, sample/N (for quantitative exhibits), and the source. 2. **The exhibit should argue.** A photograph or map that merely decorates wastes scarce words; choose exhibits that advance the interpretation (a contras

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