What it does

Cps Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing tables and figures for a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) manuscript so each exhibit is self-contained, comparative-legible, and SAGE-ready. Improves the exhibits; it does not run the analysis or set the data policy.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing tables and figures for a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) manuscript so each exhibit is self-contained
  • Comparative-legible

Example prompts

  • “/cps-tables-figures”

Workflow steps

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

  1. One main figure that is the finding. For most CPS papers this is a coefficient/forest plot, an
  2. A clean main results table with the headline specification and the key robustness columns only;
  3. A comparative descriptive exhibit showing the cross-case or over-time variation the design
  4. A balance / first-stage / pre-trends exhibit appropriate to the design.

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

Cps Tables Figures loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 580 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Use when designing tables and figures for a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) manuscript so each exhibit is self-contained, comparative-legible, and SAGE-ready. Improves the exhibits; it does not run the analysis or set the data policy.

Tables & Figures (cps-tables-figures)

CPS exhibits must carry the comparative argument on their own. A reviewer should grasp the cross-case or over-time story from the figure and its caption without hunting through the text. Because references, tables, and figures do not count toward the CPS word limit, exhibits are where you spend space — but only if each one earns its place.

When to trigger

  • Building or revising the main-text tables and figures
  • A reviewer found exhibits unreadable, over-stuffed, or not self-contained
  • Deciding which exhibits belong in the paper vs. the supplementary/online appendix
  • Preparing figures for SAGE production (color, resolution, grayscale legibility)

Exhibit priorities (in order)

  1. One main figure that is the finding. For most CPS papers this is a coefficient/forest plot, an event-study plot around a reform, an RD plot, or a marginal-effects/predicted-probability plot — not a wall of regression coefficients.
  2. A clean main results table with the headline specification and the key robustness columns only; push the full grid to the appendix.
  3. A comparative descriptive exhibit showing the cross-case or over-time variation the design exploits (so the reader sees the leverage).
  4. A balance / first-stage / pre-trends exhibit appropriate to the design.

Make every exhibit self-contained

  • Title + caption state what is shown, the unit, the sample, and the comparison — readable alone.
  • Notes give: estimator, fixed effects, clustering level, N (units and observations), and what the error bars are (CI level). For comparative panels, state the countries and the period.
  • Units and scales labelled in substantive terms (percentage points, predicted probability), not raw coefficients a reader must decode.
  • Effect sizes visible. Show magnitudes and uncertainty, not just significance asterisks.

Comparative-specific exhibit craft

  • When comparing countries/regions, order and group them so the pattern is visible (by region, regime type, or the key covariate) rather than alphabetically.
  • Use small multiples to show the same relationship across cases rather than one overplotted panel.
  • Maps only when geography is the point; otherwise a sorted dot plot communicates better.

SAGE production notes (verify current specs)

  • Colorblind-safe palettes; figures must remain legible in grayscale for print.
  • Vector output (PDF/EPS) where possible; supply high-resolution raster otherwise.
  • Match exhibit numbering in the manuscript exactly to the deposited replication output.
Show full SKILL.md (219 more words)Show less

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. CPS is comparative politics — cross-national and sub-national designs; emphasize identification and clustered / multiway inference.

  • 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.

Checklist

  • One main figure conveys the finding without the text
  • Every exhibit's notes give estimator, FE, clustering, N, and CI level
  • Effect sizes and uncertainty are visible, not just stars
  • Cross-case exhibits are ordered/grouped to reveal the comparative pattern
  • Color choices survive grayscale; figures are vector or high-res
  • Heavy tables moved to the appendix; each is referenced in the text
  • Exhibit numbers match the replication output exactly

Anti-patterns

  • A 40-coefficient table where one forest plot would carry the result
  • Captions that require the text to interpret; missing N, clustering, or CI level
  • Countries ordered alphabetically so the comparative pattern is invisible
  • Significance-star tables with no effect magnitudes
  • Figures that collapse to mush in grayscale; low-resolution raster images

Output format

【Main figure】what it shows + why it is the finding
【Main table】headline spec + which robustness columns; rest → appendix
【Comparative descriptive】the exhibit showing cross-case/over-time leverage
【Self-contained?】captions/notes give estimator, FE, clustering, N, CI [Y/N]
【Production】grayscale-safe + vector/high-res [Y/N]
【Next】cps-writing-style
