conbio-figures-and-tables
Use when building tables, figures, and maps for a Conservation Biology manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and respect the journal's exhibit budget (about one table or figure per four pages of text). Covers maps, effect plots, and masking sensitive species locations. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

# Figures, Tables & Maps (conbio-figures-and-tables) Exhibits are where an expert reviewer checks whether the result is real, and in *Conservation Biology* they are also **rationed**: the Style Guide asks for roughly **one supporting element (table or figure) per four pages of text** from the Abstract through Literature Cited. So every exhibit must earn its space. (Word counts exclude tables and figure legends, but exhibit count is constrained.) ## When to trigger - Designing the main results figure/table, a study-area map, or a key descriptive exhibit - Deciding what belongs in the article vs. Supporting Information - A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, mislabeled, or non-self-contained - Trimming to the exhibit budget by moving material online ## Principles 1. **Self-contained.** A reader should understand each exhibit from its title/caption, axis and column labels, and note alone — without hunting through the text. State units, sample, N, and what the estimate is. 2. **Figures over dense tables for effects.** Effect/forest plots, predicted-probability and partial-dependence plots, occupancy/abundance and survival curves communicate magnitude and uncertainty better than a wall o

What does the conbio-figures-and-tables skill do?
Use when building tables, figures, and maps for a Conservation Biology manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and respect the journal's exhibit budget (about one table or figure per four pages of text). Covers maps, effect plots, and masking sensitive species locations. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill conbio-figures-and-tables --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.
