jmf-tables-figures
Use when building tables and figures for a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, in modified APA style, and count toward the ~35-page (or ~25-page brief-report) limit. JMF counts tables and figures toward the page budget, so exhibits must earn their space. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

At JMF they also **cost pages**: the manuscript page limit (~35 pp.; ~25 for brief reports) **includes the abstract, text, tables, and figures**. So every exhibit must pull its weight, and many supporting tables belong in supplementary/online materials. ## When to trigger - Designing the main results table/figure or a key descriptive exhibit - Deciding what belongs in the article vs. supplementary materials - A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, mislabeled, or non-self-contained - Trimming to the page limit by moving exhibits to supplementary files ## Principles 1. **Self-contained, modified APA.** A reader should understand each exhibit from its title, notes, and labels alone. Follow JMF's **modified APA** table/figure conventions: descriptive title, clear notes, significance and abbreviations defined, sample size and units stated. 2. **Show magnitude and uncertainty.** Report effect sizes and confidence intervals, not stars alone; for models, prefer marginal effects / predicted values that a family-science reader can interpret (e.g., predicted probability of div

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