What it does

Commres Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building tables and figures for a Communication Research (CR) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and formatted to APA. CR is quantitative, so exhibits must show effect sizes and uncertainty, not just stars. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

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 Research & Science. 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.

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

Commres Tables Figures loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 641 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
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 tables and figures for a Communication Research (CR) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and formatted to APA. CR is quantitative, so exhibits must show effect sizes and uncertainty, not just stars. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

Tables & Figures (commres-tables-figures)

Exhibits are where a CR reviewer checks whether the result is real and whether the mechanism holds. Because CR is a quantitative, APA-reporting journal, every table and figure must show effect sizes and uncertainty, not significance stars alone, and follow APA formatting.

When to trigger

  • Designing the main results table/figure or a key descriptive/measurement exhibit
  • Deciding what belongs in the article vs. the online supplement
  • A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, mislabeled, or not self-contained
  • Presenting mediation/moderation results readably

Principles

  1. Self-contained. A reader should understand each exhibit from its title, column/axis labels, and note alone — without hunting through the text. State units, sample, N, and what the estimate is.
  2. Show magnitude and uncertainty. Report effect sizes (d, η²ₚ, standardized β, R²) with CIs or SDs. Coefficient/forest plots, marginal-effects and predicted-value plots, mediation path diagrams, and interaction (simple-slopes) plots communicate better than a wall of coefficients.
  3. APA format. Table/figure numbering, titles, and notes per APA; consistent decimals; report the statistics APA expects (M, SD, test statistic with df, effect size, exact p).
  4. Measurement exhibits. For SEM/CFA, show the measurement model (loadings, fit indices); for content analysis, report category frequencies and intercoder reliability by category.
  5. Accessible. Colorblind-safe palettes; legible in grayscale; no chartjunk, no 3D, no needless color. Reviewers must parse it quickly.
  6. Main text vs. supplement. Keep the few exhibits that carry the argument in the article; move full specifications, robustness grids, scale items, and codebooks to the online supplement (also anonymized) — this also helps you fit the page budget.
  7. Reproducible. Each exhibit is generated by the master script; numbers match the deposited materials (see commres-transparency-and-data).

Discipline-specific exhibits

  • Experiment cell means with CIs; ANOVA effect-size tables.
  • Mediation/moderated-mediation path diagrams with indirect-effect estimates and bootstrap CIs.
  • Simple-slopes / Johnson–Neyman plots for interactions.
  • SEM/CFA measurement-model tables (loadings, AVE/CR, fit indices).
  • Content-analysis reliability tables (alpha by category) and category-frequency exhibits.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Generate exhibits from the fitted result, not by retyping numbers (the usual source of body-vs-supplement drift). Full map: execution-with-mcp. Communication Research is experiment- and survey-heavy; emphasize randomization inference, mediation done right, and family-wise corrections.

  • Tables: etable (multi-model columns) or did_summary_to_latex straight from the result_id.
  • Figures: plot_from_result / enhanced_event_study_plot / event_study_table — axis units and the SE/clustering note baked in.
  • Every note names the estimator + clustering and states the effect size in interpretable units.

See a full fitted-result → exhibit chain in the JF execution walkthrough.

Anti-patterns

  • Tables that require the prose to be intelligible (not self-contained)
  • Significance stars with no effect size, SD, or interval (an APA-reporting failure at CR)
  • A mediation table without bootstrap CIs, or an interaction with no simple-slopes display
  • Cramming every robustness check into the main text (blows the page budget — use the supplement)
  • Color-only encoding that fails in grayscale or for colorblind readers
  • Exhibit numbers/values that don't match the deposited code output

Exhibit pass for Communication Research

Treat this skill as an executable review pass, not a prose hint. First lock the communication process, the measured constructs, the study design, and the inferential claim; then judge whether the manuscript answers CR's real reader: a quantitatively trained communication scientist who weighs theory, measurement validity, identification, and effect interpretation.

  • Do the pass: For every table or figure, state the estimand or object, the sample/N, the uncertainty display, the effect size shown, and one sentence the exhibit proves.
  • Return a ledger: give claim / evidence / risk / manuscript location rows so the next agent edits rather than rediscovers the issue.
  • Sibling guard: Journal of Communication, Human Communication Research, New Media & Society. If a sibling owns the contribution, re-route before polishing format.
  • Stop condition: do not give submission-ready advice until resources/official-source-map.md has been checked and the manuscript has one concrete fix for the largest venue-specific risk.
