ppsych-tables-figures
Use when building exhibits for a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) piece — the conceptual/framework figure, who-found-what summary tables, and (for meta-science) practice-prevalence or replication exhibits. Designs review/synthesis exhibits in APA style; it does not produce original-experiment result tables (a PoPS review reports no new study of its own).

# Tables & Figures for a PoPS Piece (ppsych-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - The synthesis is done and a cross-area reader needs to *see* the field at a glance - A controversy or a body of effects would be clearer as a table than as prose - The organizing framework would land better as a diagram (often the signature exhibit) - For meta-science: prevalence of a practice, or a replication landscape, needs a figure - You are tempted to paste an experiment's result table — but this is a perspective, not a primary paper ## The exhibit types a PoPS piece actually uses PoPS exhibits **summarize or conceptualize across the literature**; they do not present the author's own experiment. The workhorses: | Exhibit | Purpose | Design notes | |---------|---------|--------------| | **Conceptual / framework figure** | render the organizing spine — taxonomy tree, theory diagram, the reframe | usually the piece's signature exhibit; restate-able from memory by a non-specialist | | **Who-found-what summary table** | one row per study/area: construct, design, sample, finding (direction + magnitude), credibility note | rows ordered by framework cells, not chronology; only comparable constructs share

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