What it does

Amanthro Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building exhibits for an American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript — photographs, maps, site plans, artifact images, kinship diagrams, transcripts, evidence tables, and multimodal media — so they are self-contained, accessible (alt text), ethically cleared (consent, permissions), and count toward the word budget. Designs exhibits; it does not run analysis or clear permissions for you.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. 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

  • Building exhibits for an American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript — photographs
  • Artifact images
  • Kinship diagrams
  • Evidence tables

Example prompts

  • “/amanthro-tables-figures”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Self-contained. A reader understands each exhibit from its caption, labels, and note alone —
  2. The exhibit should argue. A photograph or map that merely decorates wastes scarce words; choose
  3. Consent & dignity. People depicted have consented to that use; faces/identifiers are handled per
  4. Permissions & rights. Secure permissions for archival images, museum objects, and others' media;
  5. Accessible. Provide alt text for figures; colorblind-safe and grayscale-legible where color
  6. Reproducible (quant exhibits). Numbers in tables/plots match the underlying analysis exactly.

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

Amanthro Tables Figures loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 627 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 exhibits for an American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript — photographs, maps, site plans, artifact images, kinship diagrams, transcripts, evidence tables, and multimodal media — so they are self-contained, accessible (alt text), ethically cleared (consent, permissions), and count toward the word budget. Designs exhibits; it does not run analysis or clear permissions for you.

Tables, Figures & Multimodal Exhibits (amanthro-tables-figures)

At AA, exhibits do more than display numbers — a photograph, a map, a site plan, a kinship chart, or a film clip can carry the argument, and the Multimodal Anthropologies section treats media as scholarship in its own right. Exhibits also cost words (the Research-Article count includes figures, tables, references, and notes), and they carry ethical and rights obligations that other fields' charts do not.

When to trigger

  • Designing the key photograph, map, site plan, artifact image, kinship/network diagram, or table
  • Preparing a transcript or evidence table linking claims to sources
  • Building a Multimodal Anthropologies piece where image/sound/film is the argument
  • A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, unlabeled, or ethically/rights-problematic

Principles

  1. Self-contained. A reader understands each exhibit from its caption, labels, and note alone — state place, date, what is shown, sample/N (for quantitative exhibits), and the source.
  2. The exhibit should argue. A photograph or map that merely decorates wastes scarce words; choose exhibits that advance the interpretation (a contrast, a spatial pattern, a relational structure).
  3. Consent & dignity. People depicted have consented to that use; faces/identifiers are handled per the consent given (blur or anonymize where required). Do not publish images that expose or endanger interlocutors (see amanthro-transparency-and-data).
  4. Permissions & rights. Secure permissions for archival images, museum objects, and others' media; credit lines and licenses are correct. Heritage/community rights over images of cultural property and ancestral remains are respected — some images should not be reproduced at all.
  5. Accessible. Provide alt text for figures; colorblind-safe and grayscale-legible where color carries meaning; legible transcripts with transcription conventions stated.
  6. Reproducible (quant exhibits). Numbers in tables/plots match the underlying analysis exactly.

Discipline-specific exhibits

  • Archaeology: site maps, stratigraphic sections, artifact plates, distribution maps, chronologies.
  • Biological: measurement plots with uncertainty, morphological figures, sampling maps.
  • Linguistic: interlinear glossed transcripts (with conventions), discourse excerpts.
  • Sociocultural: field photographs (with consent), kinship/network diagrams, evidence tables.

Anti-patterns

  • A photograph or map that decorates rather than argues (and still costs words)
  • Images of identifiable people without consent for that use; exposing vulnerable interlocutors
  • Reproducing sacred/heritage objects or ancestral remains against community wishes
  • Missing permissions/credit for archival or museum images
  • No alt text; color-only encoding that fails in grayscale; unlabeled transcript conventions
  • Quantitative exhibit values that don't match the analysis

Output format

【Main exhibit】what it shows + why it argues (not decorates)
【Self-contained?】caption + labels + source + date/place present? [Y/N]
【Consent & rights】people consented / permissions secured / heritage respected? [Y/N]
【Accessible?】alt text + grayscale-legible + transcript conventions? [Y/N]
【Word-budget impact】noted (figures/tables count)
【Next】amanthro-writing-style

Exhibit decision table (by subfield)

If your exhibit is…The first question an AA editor/reviewer asksThe fix that clears it
A field photograph of peopleDid they consent to this image being published?Consent on file; blur/withhold per the consent; caption with place/date
A map or site planDoes it reveal a protected/sacred location?Generalize coordinates; consult the community before publishing
An artifact plate / museum imageAre permissions and credits secured; is it heritage-sensitive?Clear rights; respect community authority; some objects are not reproduced
An interlinear transcriptAre transcription conventions stated and glosses legible?State conventions; align glosses; translate fairly
A quantitative plot (bio/archaeo)Does it show uncertainty, and do values match the analysis?Plot intervals/effect sizes; reconcile numbers to the source
A multimodal piece (film/sound)Does the media argue, with consent and access controls?Make it carry analytic weight; document consent for the medium

Calibration anchors (hedged)

  • At AA, an exhibit is an ethical act, not just a display: consent, heritage authority, and the dignity of the people shown can override the cleanest visualization.
  • Exhibits cost words in Research Articles (the count includes figures, tables, references, and notes), so a decorative image is doubly expensive — drop it or move support to where it argues.
  • AA's current author guidance calls for TIF figures at 300 dpi or greater, captions, credits, alt text, and image descriptions; confirm Research Exchange file prompts before final upload.
