restud-tables-figures
Use when the exhibits in a The Review of Economic Studies (REStud) manuscript need to be made publication-grade — regression tables that are oversized or footnote-bloated, or figures that do not carry the result. Finalizes exhibits to REStud house standard; does not run the underlying analysis.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# REStud Tables & Figures (restud-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - A main table has more columns than a reader can hold in mind (≳ 6) - Tables carry default software output (stars only, no economic-magnitude reading) - The central result is buried in a table when a figure would carry it - Figures are raster (PNG) rather than vector, or lack a self-contained notes block - Notation, units, or sample counts are inconsistent across exhibits ## REStud exhibit principles REStud values **elegance and economy**, and that extends to exhibits. Two REStud-specific facts: (1) auxiliary exhibits go in the **online appendix**, so the main-text figure budget is tight — promote only the exhibits that carry the contribution; (2) every published exhibit must map to a line in the deposited code, because the **Data Editor regenerates tables and figures from your replication package before publication** (AEA DCAS check; see `restud-replication-package`) — so script your exhibits, never hand-edit them. The standard: - **Each exhibit carries one result.** If a table is doing two jobs, split it. - **The reader can read the magnitude, not just the stars.** State units; an effect of "0.034***" is meanin

What does the restud-tables-figures skill do?
Use when the exhibits in a The Review of Economic Studies (REStud) manuscript need to be made publication-grade — regression tables that are oversized or footnote-bloated, or figures that do not carry the result. Finalizes exhibits to REStud house standard; does not run the underlying analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill restud-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.
