popdevr-tables-figures
Use when building tables and figures for a Population and Development Review (PDR, Wiley / Population Council) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and legible to a broad demography-and-development readership. Covers distinctive demographic graphics (population pyramids, age schedules, survival curves, projection fans) and cross-country comparative exhibits. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

# Tables & Figures (popdevr-tables-figures) Exhibits are where an expert reader checks whether the result is real — and, at PDR, where a broad readership grasps both the population pattern and its development meaning. A figure must carry the population-and-development point to an economist or environmental scholar, not only a demographer. Keep the set tight: every exhibit must earn its place and the prose should not need it explained. ## When to trigger - Designing the main results table/figure or a key descriptive exhibit - Deciding what belongs in the article vs. the supporting information - A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, mislabeled, or non-self-contained - Trimming an exhibit set that has grown past what the argument needs ## Principles 1. **Self-contained.** A reader should understand each exhibit from its title, axis/column labels, and note alone. State the population, period, age range, source/vintage, units, and N or exposure. 2. **Carry the development point.** Title and note should make the population-and-development meaning legible, not just the demographic quantity — a reader outside demography must see the takeaway. 3. **Use the right demographic graphic for the q

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