restat-tables-figures
Use when building or revising the exhibits of a The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) manuscript so the main result is legible in one table or figure in AEA/REStat house style. Designs publication-grade exhibits; it does not run the underlying estimation.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tables & Figures (restat-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - The main result is buried across several dense tables instead of one clear exhibit - Tables lack self-contained notes (a reader must hunt the text for the spec) - Figures are decorative rather than load-bearing, or omit uncertainty - You are preparing exhibits for the online appendix vs the main paper ## The REStat exhibit bar A REStat reader should grasp the **headline estimate from one main exhibit** — a table or, increasingly, an event-study / RD / coefficient-stability figure with a confidence band. REStat follows **standard economics house style**: significance **stars are permitted**, but **standard errors are expected in parentheses** and the exhibit must stand on its own. Every table and figure carries a **self-contained note** stating the sample, the specification, the unit of observation, the inference (clustering level), and what the reader should take away. The main paper is **self-contained**; supporting detail goes to the **online appendix (≤20 pages; source map refreshed 2026-06-20)**. ## Exhibit design rules | Element | REStat-compliant practice | |---------|---------------------------| | Headline resul

What does the restat-tables-figures skill do?

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