car-tables-figures
Use when building the exhibits of a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — descriptive/correlation/results tables for archival work, experimental cell-means and ANOVA tables, model figures, and appendices — formatted to the CAR Style Guide (each exhibit on a new page, variable definitions, footnotes not endnotes). Builds exhibits; it does not run the analysis (car-data-analysis).

# Tables & Figures (car-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - Exhibits are cluttered, not self-contained, or off CAR house style - A variable-definitions appendix is missing (an archival reviewer staple) - Experimental results lack a clean cell-means / contrast table - You are paginating exhibits for the 50-page limit and online appendix ## CAR Style Guide exhibit rules CAR's format rules (author guidelines + CAR Style Guide) govern exhibits directly: - **Each exhibit (appendix, table, figure) begins on a new page.** - In-text notes are **footnotes, not endnotes**; tables use table notes to define every variable, sample, and significance convention. - Pages are numbered sequentially after the abstract page; the manuscript itself is **blind** (no author identifiers in exhibit titles, file names, or footnotes). - The main text is held to **30 pages** within a **50-page overall** limit; push large or supplementary exhibits into the **online-only supplementary appendix** rather than padding the main body. - LaTeX authors may use Wiley's New Journal Design (NJD) template for accepted papers; confirm exact table/figure formatting against the current CAR Style Guide. ## Build exhibits the

What does the car-tables-figures skill do?
Use when building the exhibits of a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — descriptive/correlation/results tables for archival work, experimental cell-means and ANOVA tables, model figures, and appendices — formatted to the CAR Style Guide (each exhibit on a new page, variable definitions, footnotes not endnotes). Builds exhibits; it does not run the analysis (car-data-analysis).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill car-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.
