What it does
Jf Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when finalizing tables and figures for a The Journal of Finance (JF) manuscript for the AFA flagship. Enforces accessible, self-contained, general-interest exhibits with Roman-numeral tables, economic-magnitude reporting, and matching Internet Appendix numbering; it does not decide which results to run.
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
Jf Tables Figures loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 780 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.
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.

- jf-tables-figures
- description
- Use when finalizing tables and figures for a The Journal of Finance (JF) manuscript for the AFA flagship. Enforces accessible, self-contained, general-interest exhibits with Roman-numeral tables, economic-magnitude reporting, and matching Internet Appendix numbering; it does not decide which results to run.
Tables & Figures (jf-tables-figures)
When to trigger
- Tables/figures are drafted but notes, units, or formatting are inconsistent
- A reader cannot interpret an exhibit without hunting through the text
- You are aligning main-text exhibits with Internet Appendix exhibits
JF norm: self-contained, accessible exhibits
JF is general-interest and prizes accessibility. Each exhibit must be self-contained: a reader from another subfield should understand it from its caption and notes alone. Because the manuscript faces a 60-page limit (≥1.5 spacing, 12-pt font), keep only decisive exhibits in the body and send the rest to the Internet Appendix (bundled at the end of the same PDF, labeled IA.*, not counted against 60 pages; see jf-internet-appendix).
Exhibit standards
- Numbering: JF uses Roman numerals for tables (Table I, II, …) and Arabic for figures (Figure 1, 2, …); the Internet Appendix mirrors this as
IA.I,IA.1. Keep the schemes consistent. - Notes state the inference: sample, period, units, and the standard-error/clustering convention belong in every table note.
- Economic units: report magnitudes in interpretable units (bps, % of market cap, Sharpe gain), consistent with JF's general-interest voice.
- No orphan exhibits: every table/figure (body or IA) is referenced from the text.
Checklist
- Each exhibit interpretable from caption + notes alone
- Table notes state sample, period, units, and SE/clustering
- Magnitudes in economic units, not just stars/t-stats
- JF numbering scheme (Table I…, Figure 1…) and matching
IA.*in the appendix - Only decisive exhibits in the body; rest in the Internet Appendix
- Body stays within 60 pages
What a JF exhibit must carry (calibration anchors)
JF exhibits answer to a general-interest reader, so the table itself, not the surrounding prose, must deliver the economics. Useful calibration anchors for the flagship, hedged where conventions vary by subfield:
| Exhibit element | JF expectation (illustrative anchor) |
|---|---|
| Body exhibit count | Typically a lean set of decisive tables/figures; the exhaustive grid lives in the Internet Appendix |
| Magnitude column | A column or note giving the effect in bps, % of market cap, or Sharpe gain — not stars alone |
| Inference convention | Every table note names the SE estimator and clustering dimension(s) |
| Numbering | Roman tables (I, II, …), Arabic figures (1, 2, …), IA mirrors as IA.* |
| Self-containment | Caption + notes let an out-of-subfield AFA reader interpret the exhibit |
Exact body-exhibit counts are not a fixed rule; confirm against the journal's current author guidelines and recent issues, but the cultural signal at JF is "few, decisive, self-explaining in the body; everything else online."
Worked vignette — formatting a momentum horse-race table
Illustrative numbers. A corporate-finance reader picks up a Table II reporting a long-short anomaly. The raw spread is 0.62% per month. The amateur version prints only coefficients and three stars. The JF-grade version, by contrast:
- Labels the row in economic units — "long–short return, % per month" — and adds a note: "55 bps after Fama–French five-factor + momentum adjustment (illustrative), annualized Sharpe gain ≈ 0.4."
- States inference in the note: "Newey–West (12 lags) t-statistics in parentheses; sample 1972–2023 (illustrative); NYSE breakpoints, value-weighted."
- Sends the equal-weighted, alternative-breakpoint, and decile-by-decile versions to the Internet Appendix as
IA.II,IA.III, cited from the text.
The reader now understands the magnitude, the inference, and where to find more — without leaving the page. That self-containment is the JF house standard.

Referee-pushback patterns and the JF-specific fix
| Pushback on an exhibit | JF-specific fix |
|---|---|
| "I can't tell what 0.62 means economically" | Add a magnitude note (bps/month, Sharpe gain, % market cap) |
| "Which standard errors are these?" | Name the estimator and clustering in every table note |
| "Table III and IA.3 use different definitions" | Reconcile; keep one variable definition across body and IA |
| "The body has fifteen tables" | Move all but the decisive ones to the Internet Appendix |
Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)
Generate the exhibit from the fitted result, don't transcribe numbers by hand (the
most common source of body-vs-IA inconsistency). Full map:
shared-resources/empirical-methods/execution-with-mcp.md.
- Regression tables:
etable(multi-model columns) ordid_summary_to_latex/did_summary_to_markdownstraight from theresult_id— one variable definition, one set of numbers, body and Internet Appendix in sync by construction. - Event-study / coefficient figures:
plot_from_result,enhanced_event_study_plot,event_study_table— emit the figure with axis units and the SE/clustering note baked in. - Every exhibit note must name the estimator and clustering (pull it from the result's diagnostics) and state the economic magnitude in interpretable units — the JF self-containment standard, now machine-generated rather than retyped.
For a full chain producing JF-ready tables/figures from a fitted DiD result, see
resources/worked-examples/02-execution-walkthrough.md.
If StatsPAI/Stata are not connected, format from the vendored resources/code/ outputs.
Anti-patterns
- A table whose meaning is unclear without three paragraphs of text
- Significance stars with no economic magnitude
- Missing SE/clustering convention in the note
- Body crowded with exhibits that belong in the Internet Appendix, breaching the 60-page limit
- Inconsistent numbering between body and appendix
- A figure with no axis units or a caption that assumes subfield-specific notation
