What it does

Lang Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when preparing the exhibits of a Language (LSA) manuscript — numbered examples, Leipzig-convention interlinear glosses, IPA transcription, tableaux/trees, and quantitative tables and figures. Language has specific conventions for linguistic examples that reviewers and typesetters enforce. Prepares exhibits; it does not generate data.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Media & Creative, covering Transcription. 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

  • Preparing the exhibits of a Language (LSA) manuscript — numbered examples
  • Leipzig-convention interlinear glosses
  • IPA transcription
  • Quantitative tables and figures

Example prompts

  • “/lang-tables-figures”

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

Lang Tables Figures loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 701 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 preparing the exhibits of a Language (LSA) manuscript — numbered examples, Leipzig-convention interlinear glosses, IPA transcription, tableaux/trees, and quantitative tables and figures. Language has specific conventions for linguistic examples that reviewers and typesetters enforce. Prepares exhibits; it does not generate data.

Examples, Tables & Figures (lang-tables-figures)

In a linguistics paper the numbered example is the primary exhibit, and Language has firm conventions for how examples, glosses, transcriptions, and quantitative displays are formatted. Getting these right lets the paper read cleanly under double-anonymous review and pass into production without a copyediting fight. Verify current specifics against the Language Style Sheet and the CUP/Overleaf template before submission.

When to trigger

  • Formatting numbered examples, interlinear glosses, trees, tableaux, or IPA
  • Building quantitative tables and figures from a model
  • A reader said an example was mis-glossed, unreadable, or unnumbered
  • Preparing figure captions and accessibility text

Numbered examples (the core exhibit)

  • Number every example consecutively — (1), (2), (3) — with sub-parts lettered (1a), (1b); reference them in the text by number, never "the example above."
  • Give object-language data in italics (or the journal's current convention), followed by the gloss and a free translation in single quotes.
  • Cite a source for each non-elicited token; mark elicited judgments (*, ?, #) consistently.

Interlinear glossing (Leipzig Glossing Rules)

  • Use the standard three-line format: object language / morpheme-by-morpheme gloss / free translation, with the object and gloss lines word-aligned and morpheme boundaries matched (- for affixes, = for clitics, . for a single-word gloss of a portmanteau).
  • Use small-caps grammatical labels (PST, 3SG, ERG, NMLZ) from the Leipzig list; define any non-standard abbreviation in a list of glossing abbreviations.
  • Keep the number of morphemes on the gloss line equal to the object line; misalignment is the most common example error reviewers flag.

Transcription (IPA)

  • Use IPA for phonetic/phonological data; state the transcription conventions and any language- specific symbols. Use a Unicode IPA font; do not fake symbols with look-alikes.
  • Distinguish phonemic / / from phonetic [ ] transcription consistently.

Trees, tableaux, and formal displays

  • Syntactic trees, OT tableaux, autosegmental diagrams, and derivations are numbered examples too; keep them legible in grayscale and vector where possible.
  • For an OT tableau, mark the winner (☞), violations (*), and fatal violations (*!) per convention.

Quantitative tables and figures

  • Lead with the exhibit that carries the main generalization; do not bury it among model dumps.
  • Report effect sizes and intervals in tables; name the model and clustering in the note. Prefer a plot (partial effects, by-speaker variation) over a wall of coefficients where it communicates better.
  • Colorblind-safe, legible in grayscale; provide alt text / a descriptive caption for every figure.

Referee/production conformance check

Slip reviewers and typesetters catchLanguage-appropriate fix
Gloss line misaligned with object linematch morpheme counts; align word-by-word
Non-standard glossing labels undefineduse Leipzig labels; list abbreviations
Examples referenced as "above/below"number and cite by number
IPA faked with look-alike charactersuse a Unicode IPA font
Coefficient dump where a plot would show the patternpromote a partial-effects figure
Show full SKILL.md (261 more words)Show less

Calibration (exhibits as argument, hedged)

Craft heuristics fitting Language's conventions, not graded rules; confirm against the Style Sheet. Because the numbered example is the evidence, a clean, correctly aligned gloss does more persuasive work than any prose summary — a reader who can parse your example accepts the generalization. Illustrative: a paper presents a key portmanteau affix with a mismatched gloss line and undefined labels; the fix re-aligns the morphemes, glosses the portmanteau with . (e.g., 3SG.PST), adds the abbreviation list, and promotes the by-speaker variation from a coefficient table to a figure with alt text.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Numbered examples, glosses and tableaux are typeset by hand and stay that way. The quantitative exhibits should not be. Full map: execution-with-mcp.

  • Model tables: etable from the fitted result_id, so the coefficients in a table and the effect sizes in the prose cannot drift apart between revisions.
  • Predicted values: margins_at_plot / marginsplot for interaction and by-condition figures, with the interval and the response scale carried from the model rather than redrawn by eye.
  • Every caption names the model class and the random-effects structure — a double-anonymous reviewer across subfields reads the caption before the method section.

Anti-patterns

  • Gloss lines whose morpheme count does not match the object line
  • Non-Leipzig or undefined grammatical abbreviations
  • Examples that are unnumbered or cross-referenced by position, not number
  • Faked IPA, or mixed phonemic/phonetic brackets used inconsistently
  • A wall of coefficients where one figure would carry the generalization; missing figure alt text

Output format

【Main exhibit】the example/figure carrying the central generalization
【Numbering】examples numbered consecutively, sub-parts lettered? [Y/N]
【Glossing】Leipzig three-line, aligned, labels defined? [Y/N]
【Transcription】IPA correct, brackets consistent? [Y/N/NA]
【Quant displays】effect sizes + model note + alt text? [Y/N/NA]
【Next】lang-writing-style
