imfer-tables-figures
Use when an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) manuscript's exhibits must communicate an international-macro result to a dual academic/policy audience — transparent country coverage, readable cross-country panels, no significance asterisks. Builds the exhibits; it does not run the robustness behind them (imfer-robustness) or write the prose (imfer-writing-style).

# Tables and Figures (imfer-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - A cross-country regression table is dense and the reader cannot find the headline coefficient - Country/sample coverage is buried — a referee cannot tell which economies and years are in - Impulse responses, event-study leads, or spillover paths need a figure that a policymaker can read at a glance - Significance asterisks are still on the tables, or SEs/CIs are missing - A map or panel-by-country exhibit would communicate the international margin better than a table - A summary-statistics table omits the cross-country dispersion a referee needs to judge the sample ## What IMFER exhibits must do IMFER exhibits serve two readers at once: a referee checking the econometrics and a policy reader who wants the magnitude and its country scope. So the **country coverage must be transparent** (which economies, which years, balanced or not), the **headline number must be findable**, and the **uncertainty must be visible as standard errors and confidence intervals — not asterisks**. The best IMFER figure is one that could appear in a WEO/GFSR chart pack *and* survive referee scrutiny: clear axis units, sample noted, mechanism l

What does the imfer-tables-figures skill do?
Use when an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) manuscript's exhibits must communicate an international-macro result to a dual academic/policy audience — transparent country coverage, readable cross-country panels, no significance asterisks. Builds the exhibits; it does not run the robustness behind them (imfer-robustness) or write the prose (imfer-writing-style).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill imfer-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.
