finman-tables-figures
Use when building or revising the exhibits of a Financial Management (FM) manuscript so the main finance result and its economic magnitude are legible at a glance and respect Wiley/finance house norms. Formats exhibits; it does not establish the result (finman-identification / finman-robustness) or write the surrounding prose.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tables & Figures (finman-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - The main result is settled and must be made readable at a glance - Tables are dense, over-decimaled, or bury the headline coefficient among a dozen columns - An event-study / first-stage / portfolio-sort plot needs to carry the design visually - You are preparing exhibits for the FMA→ScholarOne submission and want them house-style clean ## The FM exhibit bar FM's brand is "articles that people actually read," and that taste extends to the tables. The main causal or economic estimate should be **findable in seconds**, and — because FM weighs **practical relevance** — every headline exhibit should make the **economic magnitude** legible, not just the t-statistic. Finance house style permits **significance stars but requires standard errors** in parentheses; report the **dependent-variable mean** so a reader can scale the coefficient into a managerial quantity. The journal's "less weight on trivial robustness" stance also shapes the exhibit set: do not pad the main paper with specification-sweep tables — promote the one headline table and the one identification figure, and demote the rest. | Exhibit | What it must show |

What does the finman-tables-figures skill do?
Use when building or revising the exhibits of a Financial Management (FM) manuscript so the main finance result and its economic magnitude are legible at a glance and respect Wiley/finance house norms. Formats exhibits; it does not establish the result (finman-identification / finman-robustness) or write the surrounding prose.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill finman-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.
