What it does

Jep Exhibits For General Readers is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing figures and tables for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article aimed at a broad audience — clarity over density, self-explanatory exhibits. Handles exhibit design; defer prose evidence to jep-evidence-without-equations and overall structure to jep-narrative-arc.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing figures and tables for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article aimed at a broad audience — clarity over density
  • Self-explanatory exhibits

Example prompts

  • “/jep-exhibits-for-general-readers”

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

Jep Exhibits For General Readers loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 569 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Exhibits for General Readers (jep-exhibits-for-general-readers)

When to trigger

  • A figure or table was lifted straight from a research paper and is dense
  • A reader needs the caption and the body text to decode an exhibit
  • The piece has too many exhibits, or exhibits that don't advance the argument
  • A regression table with coefficients and asterisks is doing the explaining

The JEP exhibit bar

A JEP exhibit must be self-explanatory to a non-specialist and earn its place in the argument. Clarity beats density: the reader should grasp the point from the exhibit and its caption alone, in seconds, without parsing the methods. JEP avoids significance asterisks and coefficient-table presentation in favor of exhibits that show the idea.

Design principles

  • One exhibit, one point. Each figure/table makes a single claim that maps to a step in the narrative arc. If it makes three points, split it or cut two.
  • Self-explanatory title + caption. The title states the finding ("Pass-through has fallen since 2000"), not the variables ("Price on cost, 1990–2020"). The caption gives source, units, and the one thing to notice.
  • Figures over tables for trends and comparisons. A clear line/bar chart usually beats a number grid for a general reader. Reserve tables for a few labeled, rounded quantities.
  • Round and label. Plain units, rounded numbers, direct labels on lines/bars instead of a legend the reader must cross-reference.
  • No significance asterisks or coefficient dumps. If uncertainty matters, show it as a shaded band or a stated range, not stars (mirrors jep-evidence-without-equations).
  • Minimal chartjunk. No 3-D, no needless gridlines, no decorative color. Color should encode meaning or be dropped (and survive grayscale, since print/archives may be monochrome).
  • Few, load-bearing exhibits. A short synthesis essay carries a handful of exhibits, each indispensable — not a research paper's full battery.

Table discipline (when a table is right)

  • Rows/columns labeled in plain words, not variable names.
  • A small number of rounded figures, not full estimation output.
  • A one-line note: source, units, sample/coverage, and the takeaway.
  • No standard-error parentheses-and-stars apparatus; if precision matters, state a range in the note.
Show full SKILL.md (229 more words)Show less

Checklist

  • Each exhibit makes exactly one point tied to a narrative step
  • Title states the finding; caption gives source, units, and what to notice
  • Figures used for trends/comparisons; tables only for a few labeled quantities
  • Numbers rounded; lines/bars directly labeled (legend minimized)
  • No significance asterisks, no raw coefficient tables
  • Uncertainty shown as band/range, not stars
  • Exhibit is legible in grayscale; no chartjunk
  • Total exhibit count is small and every one is load-bearing

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A draft transplants a research-paper Table 3: eight columns of coefficients, standard errors in parentheses, and rows of asterisks, titled "Regression results." The JEP exhibit replacing it is a single line chart titled with its finding — "Pass-through to consumer prices has roughly halved since 2000" — one line, directly labeled, a shaded band for the range across studies, source and units in a one-line note, and nothing else. The reader gets the point in three seconds, in grayscale, without reading the body — which is the entire test.

Anti-patterns

  • A regression table with coefficients, SEs, and *** transplanted from the working paper
  • A figure whose point you can't state in its title
  • Legends and variable names that force the reader back into the text
  • Color or 3-D that carries no information (and breaks in grayscale)
  • Ten exhibits where three would carry the argument
  • A "kitchen-sink" table of every specification (that belongs in research, not JEP)

Output format

【Exhibit】[figure/table] — one-point claim: [...]
【Finding-title】[...]
【Caption】source / units / what to notice
【Form】figure (trend/comparison) / small labeled table — chosen because [...]
【Uncertainty shown as】band / stated range (no asterisks)
【Grayscale-safe + chartjunk-free?】[Y/N]
【Count check】N exhibits, each load-bearing? [Y/N]
【Next step】jep-writing-style
