msom-tables-figures
Use when building the exhibits for a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — numerical-study tables, policy and sensitivity plots for analytical work, regression and identification tables for empirical work — in INFORMS house style and inside the official template that enforces the 32-page cap.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tables & Figures (msom-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - Numerical-study or regression tables are cluttered or not self-explanatory - Policy structure / comparative statics need a figure a reviewer can read at a glance - You are fitting exhibits into the official M&SOM template and the page budget is tight - Notation in exhibits does not match the text ## Page budget reality: exhibits count against the cap M&SOM enforces a **hard 32-page maximum** for a new submission that **includes everything** — references, tables, graphs/figures, and appendices — measured when typeset on the official **LaTeX/Word style files** (one column, 11-pt font, 1-inch margins). Unlike narrative word-limit journals, this cap is mechanically enforced on the template, so every table and figure trades directly against text. Build in the template from the start; move bulky proofs, extra numerical experiments, and supporting tables to the **online supplement (≤ 16 pages)**. ## Analytical exhibits - **Policy / structure figures**: plot the optimal policy form (thresholds, base-stock levels, switching curves) so the structural result is visible, not just stated. - **Sensitivity tables/plots**: show how the

What does the msom-tables-figures skill do?
Use when building the exhibits for a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — numerical-study tables, policy and sensitivity plots for analytical work, regression and identification tables for empirical work — in INFORMS house style and inside the official template that enforces the 32-page cap.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill msom-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.
