# Review of Finance Tables And Figures Use this when exhibits are too dense, under-explained, or wasting the 60-page budget. At RoF exhibits are not free space: the hard 60-page cap explicitly counts appendices, bibliography, figures, and tables, so every exhibit must earn its place and be self-contained for a top-three-standard referee. ## When to trigger - The main table has too many columns and buries the headline result. - Figures lack confidence bands, units, or self-contained notes. - The manuscript is near or over 60 pages and exhibits are part of why. ## Exhibit rules - Lead with one clean headline exhibit a reader grasps in seconds; keep the main paper focused on exhibits that carry the finance contribution or address likely top-three-standard objections. - Use table notes to document sample, period, variable construction, fixed effects, clustering, controls, units, and economic magnitude — a referee should read the exhibit without hunting through the text. - Prefer figures where a relationship is visual: event-time cumulative returns, sorted portfolios, factor loadings. Show confidence bands; avoid chartjunk; use vector output (PDF/EPS). - Move mechanical robustness grids

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