figureEconometrics skill for generating publication-quality figures for top economics journals.
Figure is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Econometrics skill for generating publication-quality figures for top economics journals. Activates when the user asks about: "econometric figure", "publication figure", "journal figure", "AER figure", "QJE figure", "event study plot", "coefficient plot", "coefplot", "binned scatter", "binscatter", "RDD plot", "parallel trends plot", "kernel density", "distribution plot", "time series plot", "map", "figure formatting", "academic plot", "论文图表", "学术图", "系数图", "事件研究图", "散点图", "分布图", "趋势图", "回归可视化"
Its SKILL.md is about 5.9k 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, covering Data visualization, Econometrics and empirical research and Forecasting and time series. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python, r, stata and latex).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Figure loads about 5.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 548 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 548 words (~5,934 tokens).
“This skill generates figure code that meets the formatting standards of top economics journals (AER, QJE, ReStud, Econometrica, JPE). It covers the most common econometric figure types with precise control over fonts, colors, dimensions, and export formats.”

Econometrics skill for generating publication-quality figures for top economics journals. Figure is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Econometrics skill for generating publication-quality figures for top economics journals.
Figure fits situations like: asks about: econometric figure; publication figure; event study plot; coefficient plot.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill figure -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/67-econfin-workflow-toolkit/figure in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/figure in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill figure -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/67-econfin-workflow-toolkit/figure in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/figure in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill figure -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/figure, .gemini/skills/figure, .github/skills/figure and .opencode/skills/figure in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Figure is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Figure has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
About 5.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 24k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Figure: Jape Identification Strategy (franklee16/academic-research-skills, 223 stars), Econometric Research Writing (franklee16/academic-research-skills, 223 stars), Fin Arch Diagram (csmar432/finai-research, 109 stars) and Senior Data Scientist (borghei/Claude-Skills, 881 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
brycewang-stanford (a GitHub user) maintains it in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, which has 4,529 GitHub stars. The repository holds 364 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 5, 2026.
