curranthro-tables-figures
Use when building exhibits for a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript — photographs, maps, site plans, artifact images, kinship diagrams, transcripts, and evidence tables — so they are self-contained, ethically cleared (consent, permissions, heritage), within CA's figure caps, and submitted in the right file formats. Designs exhibits; it does not run analysis or clear permissions for you.

# Tables, Figures & Exhibits (curranthro-tables-figures) At CA, exhibits do more than display numbers — a photograph, a map, a site plan, a kinship chart, or an artifact plate can *carry* the argument across all subfields. They also carry **ethical and rights obligations** that other fields' charts do not, and they are governed by CA's **per-type figure caps** and **file-format rules** (figures submitted as separate TIFF or EPS files, not embedded PDFs). For a Major Article under the **CA✩ Treatment**, an unclear or ethically problematic exhibit becomes a target for published Comment — design exhibits that strengthen the argument and withstand scrutiny. ## 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 - Checking your figure/table count against the article-type cap - 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. *

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill curranthro-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 984 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.
