mgsci-tables-figures
Use when building exhibits for a Management Science (INFORMS) manuscript — propositions and numerical-illustration figures for analytical papers, or result/identification tables and effect plots for empirical papers — keeping notation clean, exhibits self-contained, and the page budget tight for the invited-revision limit. It builds exhibits; it does not run the analysis (mgsci-data-analysis).

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tables & Figures (mgsci-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - Exhibits are cluttered, notation-heavy, or not self-explanatory - A reviewer cannot read a result off a table/figure without hunting the text - You are over the page budget and exhibits are bloated - You need to present proofs/comparative statics or estimates in house style Management Science prefers **short, focused** papers and warns that excessive length and **notation density slow review**. Every exhibit should earn its space and stand on its own. ## Analytical lane - **Propositions/theorems** are numbered and stated cleanly in the text; defer long proofs to the appendix (which does **not** count toward the invited-revision page limit). - **Comparative-statics figures** are where the managerial insight becomes visible — plot the optimal policy / equilibrium quantity against the key primitive, with axes, parameter values, and the takeaway labeled. - **Notation tables** (a symbol glossary) help when the model is symbol-heavy; keep notation minimal and consistent throughout. - Numerical-example tables should report the parameter ranges and confirm the qualitative result holds across them. ## Empirical lane - **Descript

What does the mgsci-tables-figures skill do?
Use when building exhibits for a Management Science (INFORMS) manuscript — propositions and numerical-illustration figures for analytical papers, or result/identification tables and effect plots for empirical papers — keeping notation clean, exhibits self-contained, and the page budget tight for the invited-revision limit. It builds exhibits; it does not run the analysis (mgsci-data-analysis).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill mgsci-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.
