jet-tables-figures
Use when designing the exhibits in a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper — mostly schematic theory figures (best-response/phase diagrams, lattices, timing trees, mechanism flow) and small illustrative tables, kept consistent with the body's notation and rendered as vector graphics. Light for a theorem-proof journal; numerical tables only when grounded in theory.

# Exhibits: Tables & Figures (jet-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - You need a diagram to convey an equilibrium, a mechanism, or a comparative-static - You have a small numerical table illustrating a theorem - You are formatting exhibits for elsarticle submission ## What exhibits look like at JET JET is a **theorem-proof** journal, so most exhibits are **schematic, not data-driven**. The typical JET figure clarifies an argument: - **Best-response / phase diagrams**, indifference maps, region partitions of a parameter space - **Lattices / Hasse diagrams** for order-theoretic results; **timing / extensive-form trees** for games - **Mechanism / information flow** diagrams; revelation or allocation schematics - **Bound / tightness plots** showing where a characterized object sits Numerical tables are **light and subordinate** — admitted only to illustrate or test a theoretical result (see jet-data-analysis), never as the paper's payload. ## Construction rules - **Notation must match the body exactly** — same symbols, same names for regions/agents/types. A figure that renames objects costs the referee more than it saves. - **Vector output (PDF/EPS)** for print; build diagrams in **Ti

What does the jet-tables-figures skill do?
Use when designing the exhibits in a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper — mostly schematic theory figures (best-response/phase diagrams, lattices, timing trees, mechanism flow) and small illustrative tables, kept consistent with the body's notation and rendered as vector graphics.

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