wp-tables-figures
Use when building tables and figures for a World Politics manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and placed correctly relative to the word limit. At World Politics tables, figures, and appendixes are excluded from the 12,500-word count, but online supplementary material is capped at fifteen pages, so exhibits must still earn their place. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

# Tables & Figures (wp-tables-figures) Exhibits are where an expert reviewer checks whether a cross-case result is real. At World Politics **tables, figures, and appendixes are excluded from the 12,500-word count** — but **online supplementary material cannot exceed fifteen pages**, so you cannot dump everything into an appendix. Every exhibit must pull its weight and reproduce from the deposited Dataverse package. ## When to trigger - Designing the main results table/figure or a key descriptive/comparative exhibit - Deciding what belongs in the article vs. the (≤ 15-page) online supplement - A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, mislabeled, or non-self-contained - Visualizing cross-national variation, durations, or comparative-historical sequence ## Principles 1. **Self-contained.** A reader should understand each exhibit from its title, axis/column labels, and note alone. State units, the cases/sample, N, time span, data source (e.g., V-Dem, COW), and what the estimate is. 2. **Figures over dense tables for effects.** Coefficient/forest plots, marginal-effects and predicted-probability plots, event-study and RD plots, and survival curves communicate magnitude and uncertainty bette

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