revacc-tables-figures
Use when the exhibits are the bottleneck for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — building self-contained accounting panel tables, event-study and equilibrium figures, and a descriptive-statistics block that survives referee scrutiny. Builds the exhibits; it does not run the analysis (revacc-data-analysis) or polish the surrounding prose (revacc-writing-style).

# Tables & Figures (revacc-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - Tables are dense, inconsistent, or not self-explanatory without the text - Your descriptive-statistics table is missing or does not let a referee sanity-check the sample - A DiD or event study has no dynamic/event-time figure - An analytical paper has propositions but no figure illustrating the comparative statics - Significance is shown only with asterisks, or coefficients lack the economic-magnitude read ## The standard RAST exhibit set Accounting empirical papers at RAST converge on a recognizable sequence; build it in order. 1. **Variable definitions** — every variable defined with its data source (Compustat item, CRSP field, I/B/E/S measure) so the sample is reconstructable. 2. **Descriptive statistics** — N, mean, median, SD, key percentiles for all variables; this is the table referees use to catch a broken sample (implausible accruals, miswinsorized ratios). 3. **Correlations** — Pearson/Spearman where it informs multicollinearity or the main association. 4. **Main result** — the focal estimating equation with fixed effects and clustering noted in the table notes; report **economic magnitude**, not only signifi

What does the revacc-tables-figures skill do?
Use when the exhibits are the bottleneck for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — building self-contained accounting panel tables, event-study and equilibrium figures, and a descriptive-statistics block that survives referee scrutiny. Builds the exhibits; it does not run the analysis (revacc-data-analysis) or polish the surrounding prose (revacc-writing-style).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill revacc-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.
