What it does

Aaag Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building maps, figures, and tables for an Annals of the American Association of Geographers manuscript. The Annals has a dedicated Cartography Editor and Graphics Guidelines; maps are held to cartographic standards, not just plotted. Improves exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tables for an Annals of the American Association of Geographers manuscript

Example prompts

  • “/aaag-tables-figures”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aaag Tables Figures loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 886 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when building maps, figures, and tables for an Annals of the American Association of Geographers manuscript. The Annals has a dedicated Cartography Editor and Graphics Guidelines; maps are held to cartographic standards, not just plotted. Improves exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

Maps, Figures & Tables (aaag-tables-figures)

The Annals is a geography journal: maps are arguments, and the journal holds them to cartographic standards. There is a Cartography Editor and Graphics Guidelines (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准), and every exhibit counts toward the 11,000-word cap (figure captions are included). Make each exhibit carry its weight and read correctly in print and grayscale.

When to trigger

  • Designing or revising maps, remote-sensing figures, model plots, or tables
  • A reviewer/editor flagged a map's projection, classification, legend, or legibility
  • Trimming exhibits to fit the inclusive word cap

Cartographic essentials (maps are held to standard here)

  • Projection chosen on purpose — appropriate to area/distance/shape for the analysis; name it.
  • Classification stated — method (quantiles, equal-interval, natural breaks) and class count, with a rationale; the choropleth message must not be an artifact of the break scheme.
  • Map elements present — scale bar, north arrow where needed, legend, data source, and date; graticule/inset where it aids reading.
  • Normalize areal data — rates/densities, not raw counts, on choropleths; avoid MAUP-driven artifacts.
  • Accessible color — colorblind-safe, sequential/diverging schemes matched to the data type; legible in grayscale; sufficient figure-ground contrast.

Remote-sensing & physical figures

  • State band combination/stretch; include a spatial error/uncertainty panel where accuracy matters.
  • Give coordinates/extent and resolution so the figure is reproducible and locatable.

Model & statistical figures

  • Prefer effect/marginal-effect, GWR-surface, and event/trend plots over dense tables; show uncertainty bands. Tables carry effect sizes and CIs, not stars alone.
  • Keep model figures spatially interpretable: label the spatial unit, neighborhood definition, bandwidth, buffer, or grid resolution that drives the pattern. If the figure is a map of residuals, clusters, or local coefficients, add the diagnostics that prevent readers from treating noise as geography.

Exhibit decision gate

Use this gate before adding or keeping any exhibit. The Annals page budget is tight, and geography reviewers will ask whether the visual does analytic work rather than decorating the manuscript.

Exhibit typeKeep only if it answersRequired audit trail
Locator or study-area mapDoes the reader need spatial context to understand the claim?Projection, extent, scale, source, date, and why the inset or boundary was chosen
Choropleth / thematic mapIs the mapped pattern central to the argument?Denominator, classification method, class count, sensitivity to an alternate break scheme
Remote-sensing / imagery panelDoes the image identify land cover, change, or measurement uncertainty?Sensor/product, bands or index, acquisition date/window, resolution, accuracy or validation note
Model plotDoes the plot reveal effect size, heterogeneity, or uncertainty better than a table?Estimand, sample, confidence interval, spatial/temporal unit, robustness pointer
TableIs exact comparison necessary and too dense for prose?Slim column set, effect sizes/CIs, notes defining variables and sample restrictions

Decision rule: if an exhibit cannot state its analytic claim in one sentence, cut it or move it to supplementary material. If it repeats a result already clear in text, replace it with a smaller table or one caption sentence.

Cartography QA handoff

Before final submission, create a one-page exhibit QA note for coauthors or the Cartography Editor pathway. It should list each exhibit, its file name, source data, projection, classification, color scheme, print-size legibility check, and word-budget cost. Mark any item as HOLD if the map is not reproducible from archived data or if the caption omits what/where/when/source/takeaway.

For multi-panel figures, do a panel-level audit rather than approving the composite as a whole: each panel needs a label, unit, legend logic, and a reason to remain. Avoid mixing raw maps, model effects, and uncertainty diagnostics in one panel stack unless the caption explains the reading order.

Show full SKILL.md (307 more words)Show less

Self-containment & house style

  • Every exhibit is readable standalone: caption states what, where, when, source, and the takeaway.
  • Follow the Graphics Guidelines for resolution, fonts, and file format; vector for line art, high-resolution raster for imagery (verify current specs on the page).
  • Count captions, tables, and figures toward the 11,000-word cap — budget exhibits deliberately.

Common map failure → fix (what the Cartography Editor flags)

FailureWhy it misleadsFix
Raw counts on a choroplethbigger/more-populous units always look "high"map rates/densities; normalize

Checklist

  • Projection named and appropriate to the analysis
  • Classification method + class count stated and justified
  • Scale bar / legend / source / date present; areal data normalized
  • Colorblind-safe and grayscale-legible; adequate contrast
  • RS figures: band/stretch + accuracy/error panel; extent + resolution given
  • Each exhibit passes the keep/cut gate and states its analytic claim in one sentence
  • Model maps/plots name the estimand, spatial unit, uncertainty, and robustness pointer
  • Exhibit QA note records file name, data source, projection, classification, palette, and print check
  • Captions self-contained; exhibit budget fits the inclusive word cap
  • Graphics meet the journal's resolution/format specs (verify)

Anti-patterns

  • Default-software projection and auto-classification with no rationale (artifactual choropleth)
  • Raw counts on a choropleth instead of rates/densities
  • Rainbow / non-colorblind-safe palettes; maps illegible in grayscale
  • Missing scale bar, legend, or data source/date
  • Overrunning the word cap because captions and tables were not counted
