What it does

Curranthro Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building exhibits for a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript — photographs, maps, site plans, artifact images, kinship diagrams, transcripts, and evidence tables — so they are self-contained, ethically cleared (consent, permissions, heritage), within CA's figure caps, and submitted in the right file formats. 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 a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript — photographs
  • Artifact images
  • Kinship diagrams
  • Evidence tables — so they are self-contained

Example prompts

  • “/curranthro-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 space; choose exhibits
  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 / image descriptions; colorblind-safe and grayscale-legible where
  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

Curranthro Tables Figures loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 648 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
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 a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript — photographs, maps, site plans, artifact images, kinship diagrams, transcripts, and evidence tables — so they are self-contained, ethically cleared (consent, permissions, heritage), within CA's figure caps, and submitted in the right file formats. Designs exhibits; it does not run analysis or clear permissions for you.

Tables, Figures & Exhibits (curranthro-tables-figures)

At CA, exhibits do more than display numbers — a photograph, a map, a site plan, a kinship chart, or an artifact plate can carry the argument across all subfields. They also carry ethical and rights obligations that other fields' charts do not, and they are governed by CA's per-type figure caps and file-format rules (figures submitted as separate TIFF or EPS files, not embedded PDFs). For a Major Article under the CA✩ Treatment, an unclear or ethically problematic exhibit becomes a target for published Comment — design exhibits that strengthen the argument and withstand scrutiny.

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
  • Checking your figure/table count against the article-type cap
  • 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 space; 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 curranthro-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 / image descriptions; 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.

CA figure caps & formats (checked 2026-06; verify live Instructions for Authors)

  • Major Article: up to 12 figures and tables.
  • Report: up to 4 figures and tables.
  • File format: submit text and tables in a single word-processing file (.doc/.rtf, not PDF); submit figures (graphs and images) as separate TIFF (.tif) or EPS (.eps) files.

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
  • 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
  • Embedding figures in the text PDF instead of supplying separate TIFF/EPS files; exceeding the type's cap
  • 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/description + grayscale-legible + transcript conventions? [Y/N]
【Count & format】within cap (12 Major / 4 Report)? separate TIFF/EPS? [Y/N]
【Next】curranthro-writing-style

Exhibit decision table (by subfield)

If your exhibit is…The first question an editor/commentator asksThe fix that clears it
A field photograph of peopleDid they consent to this image being published?Consent on file; blur/withhold per 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

Calibration anchors (hedged)

  • At CA, 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.
  • Figure/table caps and file-format requirements are set per article type — confirm the current Instructions for Authors and the Editorial Manager upload prompts before final submission.
