What it does

Devpsych Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building tables and figures for a Developmental Psychology (APA) manuscript. The journal uses APA 7th-edition style and rewards exhibits that make developmental change visible — trajectory plots, age-on-the-x-axis figures, model-implied growth curves — with effect sizes and uncertainty. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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.

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

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

Devpsych Tables Figures loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 Developmental Psychology (APA) manuscript. The journal uses APA 7th-edition style and rewards exhibits that make developmental change visible — trajectory plots, age-on-the-x-axis figures, model-implied growth curves — with effect sizes and uncertainty. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

Tables & Figures (devpsych-tables-figures)

In Developmental Psychology, the best exhibits show change. APA 7th-edition formatting is required, but the venue-specific move is to make the developmental claim visible: age or time on the x-axis, individual trajectories plus the model-implied mean curve, and uncertainty that a reader can see. A bar chart of age-group means that hides within-person change is a missed opportunity here.

When to trigger

  • Designing the main trajectory/results figure or a key table
  • Deciding what goes in the article vs. online supplemental material
  • A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, non-APA, or "doesn't show the developmental pattern"
  • Visualizing growth curves, individual variation, and interactions with age

Principles

  1. Make change visible. Prefer figures with age/time on the x-axis and the outcome on the y-axis: spaghetti plots (individual trajectories) behind the model-implied mean curve, or growth curves by moderator group. Show the developmental pattern, not just endpoint means.
  2. Show uncertainty and effect size. Confidence bands/intervals on curves and estimates; report the slope/interaction magnitude so the figure carries the claim, not just a p-value.
  3. APA 7th + self-contained. Titles, notes, axis labels (with age units), Ns per age/wave, and what the bands represent make each exhibit intelligible alone.
  4. A measurement-invariance / model table earns its place. A compact table reporting invariance steps (configural/metric/scalar fit, ΔCFI) reassures reviewers the change claim is sound.
  5. Reproducible + accessible. Generated by the deposited analysis script so values match; colorblind- safe and grayscale-legible.

Worked micro-example — the main trajectory figure (illustrative)

For the three-wave effortful-control package, the primary figure must show the growth, not bars.

Figure 1. Effortful-control trajectories, ages 4-8, by maternal scaffolding.
  Geometry:  thin per-child spaghetti lines + bold model-implied mean curves
             for high vs. low scaffolding; 95% CI bands on the mean curves.
  Axes:      x = child age in years (4-8); y = effortful-control score.
  Annotation: latent slope b = 0.42/yr [0.31, 0.53]; scaffolding × time
             b = 0.18 [0.07, 0.29].
  Note:      Ns per wave, attrition count, what the bands are (95% CIs),
             and that growth is interpreted under scalar invariance.
  Source:    rendered by the deposited R (lavaan/ggplot) script so values match.

Exhibit-stage reviewer pushback and the venue fix

  • "Bar chart of age groups hides the change" → switch to a trajectory/growth-curve figure with age on x.
  • "I can't tell the developmental pattern" → overlay individual lines and the model-implied mean; label the slope.
  • "No uncertainty shown" → add CI bands and report the effect size in the note.
  • "Figure values don't match the SEM table" → regenerate both from the single deposited script.

Exhibit calibration anchors

  • The figure is where a hurried editor sees the developmental claim; design the main exhibit to stand alone and to show change over age, not a pair of group means.
  • Individual variation is part of the developmental story — show the spread of trajectories, not only the average, especially when heterogeneity in change is theoretically interesting.
  • A small invariance table is cheap insurance: it tells reviewers the construct is the same thing across the ages you compare, pre-empting the most common developmental objection.
  • Accessibility is part of credibility: colorblind-safe palettes and grayscale-legible encodings.

Anti-patterns

  • Bar plots of age-group means that hide within-person change and variability
  • Exhibits that need the prose to be intelligible (not self-contained)
  • Trajectory figures with no confidence bands or effect sizes
  • Omitting Ns per age/wave or the attrition count from notes
  • Exhibit values that don't match the shared analysis script
