What it does

Govern Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building tables and figures for a Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions manuscript so exhibits carry comparative/institutional arguments across countries and are self-contained, accessible, and grayscale-legible. Designs cross-national tables, regression tables, coefficient/event-study plots, and maps; it does not run the analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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

Govern Tables Figures loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 779 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions manuscript so exhibits carry comparative/institutional arguments across countries and are self-contained, accessible, and grayscale-legible. Designs cross-national tables, regression tables, coefficient/event-study plots, and maps; it does not run the analysis.

Tables & Figures (govern-tables-figures)

In a Governance paper the exhibits are where a comparative reviewer checks whether the institutional claim actually travels. A single-country result dressed up as a wall of coefficients reads as parochial; a clean cross-national table or a coefficient plot that shows where the effect holds and where it does not reads as a contribution to how the state governs. With a working cap of ≤ 9,000 words excluding citations/bibliography (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准), every exhibit must earn its place, and the heavy robustness grids belong in the supplementary file, not the article.

When to trigger

  • Designing the main results table/figure or the key descriptive comparative exhibit
  • Showing cross-country / cross-institution variation (a map, a small-multiples panel, a forest plot)
  • Deciding what stays in the article vs. moves to supplementary material
  • A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, single-country-parochial, or not self-contained

Principles

  1. Self-contained. A reader understands each exhibit from its caption, column/axis labels, and note alone — units, sample, time window, country/case set, N, and what the estimate is. State the estimand, not just "Model 3."
  2. Make the comparison visible. The point of a Governance exhibit is usually the contrast across countries, regimes, policy domains, or institutional types. Order rows/panels by the institutional logic (e.g., by state capacity, by Westminster vs. consensus), not alphabetically, so the pattern reads off the page.
  3. Figures over dense tables for effects. Coefficient/forest plots, marginal-effects and predicted-probability plots, and event-study plots communicate magnitude and uncertainty better than a coefficient dump. Always show intervals, never stars alone.
  4. Three-line regression tables. Booktabs style — top rule, header rule, bottom rule, no vertical rules. SEs in parentheses under coefficients; report N, the FE/clustering structure, and the estimator; define every abbreviation in the note.
  5. Accessible. Colorblind-safe palette, legible in grayscale, no chartjunk, no 3D. Distinguish series by shape/linetype as well as color so the print and the PDF both work.
  6. Reproducible. Each exhibit is generated by the master script; the printed numbers match the replication materials cited in the Data Availability Statement exactly (see govern-transparency-and-data).

Comparative-governance exhibit menu

  • Cross-national descriptive table — countries/cases in rows, institutional variables in columns; group by regime type or region; flag missing data honestly rather than blanking cells.
  • Coefficient / forest plot — one estimate per country or per institutional subgroup with CIs; ideal for showing where a mechanism holds and where scope conditions bite.
  • Event-study plot — for a reform or a staggered policy adoption across units; pre-trend periods on the left of zero, effect periods on the right, reference period marked.
  • Maps — for geographic or cross-country variation (subnational governance, diffusion of a reform); use a sequential colorblind-safe ramp, classed not continuous, with the breaks justified in the note.
  • Small multiples — one panel per country/case showing the same relationship; the comparison is the argument.
  • Case / process exhibits — for qualitative or comparative-historical work: timelines, sequence diagrams, and evidence tables linking each claim to its source (pairs with QDR-style documentation).

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. Governance is public administration and institutions research — comparative and causal designs on governance reforms; the chain serves its quantitative-causal lane, while comparative-historical / qualitative work uses its own standards.

  • 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

  • Each exhibit is self-contained: caption + labels + note give units, sample, time window, case set, N
  • The comparison (across countries/institutions/domains) is visible in the ordering and layout
  • Effects shown with intervals; no significance stars without an effect size
  • Regression tables are three-line (booktabs); estimator, FE, and clustering stated in the note
  • Colorblind-safe and grayscale-legible; series distinguished by shape/linetype, not color alone
  • Maps use a justified classed ramp; projection and source noted
  • Main text holds only the few exhibits that carry the argument; robustness grids → supplementary
  • Every printed number matches the master-script output behind the Data Availability Statement

Anti-patterns

  • A wall of country coefficients with no plot showing where the effect travels and where it stops
  • Tables that require the prose to be intelligible (not self-contained)
  • Significance stars with no effect size or confidence interval
  • Alphabetical country ordering that hides the institutional pattern the paper is about
  • Color-only encoding that collapses in grayscale or for colorblind readers
  • Cramming every robustness check into the main text and blowing the 9,000-word cap
  • Exhibit values that do not match the deposited replication output

Output format
