smj-tables-figures
Use when building or cleaning up the tables and figures of a Strategic Management Journal (SMJ) manuscript. Makes exhibits self-contained and persuasive; it does not run the analysis or write prose.

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.
# Tables & Figures (smj-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - You have many tables and are unsure which earn their place in the main text - Tables are not self-contained (a reader cannot read them without the prose) - You report coefficients but have no figure showing the effect or mechanism - Descriptive statistics, correlations, and regressions are disorganized or inconsistent ## Standard SMJ exhibit set A typical empirical SMJ paper carries a compact, predictable set of exhibits: 1. **Descriptive statistics + correlation matrix** (one table). Flag high correlations and multicollinearity concerns here. 2. **Main results table.** Hierarchical/nested models: controls-only column, then add focal X, then moderators/mechanism. Each column builds. 3. **Identification / endogeneity table.** First stage + IV, DID estimates, matching balance, or selection model — the evidence that defeats the threat. 4. **Robustness table(s).** Alternative DVs, samples, estimators. 5. **Figure(s):** marginal-effects / interaction plot, event-study plot for DID, or a mechanism/path diagram. Move secondary tables to an online appendix/supplement rather than crowding the main text. SMJ guides authors toward a

What does the smj-tables-figures skill do?
Use when building or cleaning up the tables and figures of a Strategic Management Journal (SMJ) manuscript. Makes exhibits self-contained and persuasive; it does not run the analysis or write prose.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill smj-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 984 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.
