worlddev-tables-figures
Use when exhibits in a World Development (WD) manuscript are dense, asterisk-laden, or fail a multidisciplinary reader — including maps and qualitative displays. Makes every exhibit answer a development question; it does not invent evidence or citations.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tables, Figures & Qualitative Displays (worlddev-tables-figures) ## When to trigger - Tables report significance with asterisks instead of standard errors / confidence intervals - Coefficients are shown in model units a non-economist cannot interpret (log points, latent indices) - A geographic study has no map, or a busy map that communicates nothing - A qualitative paper has no systematic display — just block quotes scattered through prose - The main exhibits do not, on their own, let a reader reconstruct the paper's argument ## The WD exhibit standard WD's readership is multidisciplinary and policy-facing, so exhibits must clear a higher legibility bar than in a specialist economics journal: **a development scholar from another field, or an informed practitioner, should grasp the headline from the exhibit and its note alone.** That changes priorities. Effect sizes in interpretable units beat starred coefficients; a clean figure beats a dense table; a well-built map or qualitative matrix can carry an argument that prose cannot. ### Tables - **Report uncertainty, not stars.** Standard errors or confidence intervals in parentheses; no `***`. WD's audience reads magnitudes, and ast

What does the worlddev-tables-figures skill do?
Use when exhibits in a World Development (WD) manuscript are dense, asterisk-laden, or fail a multidisciplinary reader — including maps and qualitative displays. Makes every exhibit answer a development question; it does not invent evidence or citations.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill worlddev-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.
