ecta-tables-figures
Use when finalizing the simulation tables and any empirical / illustrative exhibits in an Econometrica manuscript so each is self-contained, precise, and reproducible. Formats and audits exhibits; it does not design the Monte Carlo (use ecta-robustness) or run the estimation.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tables and Figures (ecta-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - A Monte Carlo or empirical table is overloaded, ambiguous, or not self-contained - Notes do not say what is being reported (size? coverage? bias?) at what sample size and nominal level - Figures (power curves, coverage plots, value-function illustrations) lack axis labels or a legend - Numbers in the table cannot be traced to a specific script / seed Econometrica exhibits are read closely by referees who will recompute or sanity-check entries — and at conditional acceptance the ES **Data Editor** re-runs the code behind every table, figure, and number that comes from data or simulation. Every table and figure must stand alone *and* trace to a seeded script in the replication package. Two Econometrica specifics that differ from applied siblings: (1) the **45-page** main-text limit (incl. references and appendices) forces ruthless triage — keep the headline size/power/coverage tables in the body and push secondary designs to the **Supplemental Material**; (2) reproducibility is enforced by the **Econometric Society** Data Editor with a **Zenodo** deposit, not the AEA/openICPSR pipeline the AER/AEJ packs assume. ## Simula

What does the ecta-tables-figures skill do?
Use when finalizing the simulation tables and any empirical / illustrative exhibits in an Econometrica manuscript so each is self-contained, precise, and reproducible. Formats and audits exhibits; it does not design the Monte Carlo (use ecta-robustness) or run the estimation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ecta-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.
