What it does

Phg Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing the conceptual exhibits of a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review essay — typologies, framework diagrams, concept genealogies, and synthesis tables that do argumentative work. For a review journal these are conceptual, not data graphics. Designs exhibits; it does not build the argument itself.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Development, covering Diagrams. 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 the conceptual exhibits of a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review essay — typologies
  • Framework diagrams
  • Concept genealogies
  • Synthesis tables that do argumentative work

Example prompts

  • “/phg-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

Phg Tables Figures loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 592 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Use when designing the conceptual exhibits of a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review essay — typologies, framework diagrams, concept genealogies, and synthesis tables that do argumentative work. For a review journal these are conceptual, not data graphics. Designs exhibits; it does not build the argument itself.

Conceptual Exhibits (phg-tables-figures)

PiHG is a review and theory journal, so its figures and tables are conceptual, not empirical. You are not plotting results (there are none); you are giving the reader a map of the argument — a typology that organizes a field, a framework diagram that shows how your concept links literatures, a genealogy that periodizes a concept, or a synthesis table that adjudicates camps. A good exhibit does synthetic work; a decorative one wastes a scarce slot in a short essay.

When to trigger

  • Deciding whether an exhibit earns its place in an ~8,000-word essay
  • Turning a complex synthesis into a single legible figure or table
  • A reviewer said a section is "hard to follow" or "the framework is unclear"
  • Building the one diagram readers will screenshot and reuse

Exhibit types that do work in a review

ExhibitWhat it doesUse when
Typology / matrixOrganizes a field along 2 dimensions (approach × dimension)Camps differ on more than one axis
Framework diagramShows how your concept links literatures/relationsThe argument is relational and hard to hold in prose
Concept genealogy / timelinePeriodizes how a concept changedThe essay narrates a conceptual history
Synthesis / comparison tableAdjudicates camps on shared criteriaReaders need the camps side by side
Agenda tableLays out the forward questions by sub-fieldThe contribution is a program (phg-contribution-framing)

If an exhibit only lists what the prose already says, cut it. Every exhibit should let the reader see a relationship faster than the text can tell it.

Design for synthesis, not decoration

  • The exhibit carries an argument, not ornament — a reader should grasp your re-ordering from the figure alone. Give it a claim-bearing caption ("A relational typology of platform labor," not "Overview").
  • Two dimensions, not ten. A typology with too many axes is a spreadsheet; pick the two that matter.
  • Name the cells' logic. A 2×2 must have a reason each quadrant exists, and ideally an under-populated cell that reveals a silence (phg-critical-intervention).
  • No data dressed as concept. Do not import bibliometric counts or a VOSviewer map as if it were the argument; if you show one, it is evidence of the field's shape, clearly labeled as such.

Craft and accessibility

  • Legible in grayscale and colorblind-safe; PiHG figures are often read in print/PDF.
  • Vector formats (PDF/EPS/SVG) for diagrams and tables-as-figures; avoid low-resolution raster.
  • Self-contained: readable without the surrounding paragraph; define any coined term in the caption.
  • Count toward the essay's economy — a review is short; one or two strong exhibits beat five weak ones.

The "reuse test"

The best PiHG exhibit is the typology or framework other scholars cite and redraw. Ask: would a reader teaching this field put your figure on a slide? If it only restates your prose, it will not travel — and it is not earning its slot.

Checklist

  • Each exhibit does synthetic work the prose cannot do as fast
  • Claim-bearing caption; readable without the surrounding text
  • Typologies use the two axes that matter; cell logic is explicit
  • Any empirical/bibliometric graphic is labeled as field-evidence, not the argument
  • Grayscale-legible, colorblind-safe, vector format
  • Exhibit count is disciplined for a short review

Anti-patterns

  • A figure that only restates the prose (decoration in a scarce slot)
  • Over-dimensioned typologies that read as spreadsheets
  • Importing a data/bibliometric chart and passing it off as the conceptual contribution
  • Captions that label ("Framework") instead of claiming ("A relational framework linking control and precarity")
  • Low-resolution or color-only figures that fail in grayscale/print

Output format

【Exhibit】typology / framework diagram / genealogy / synthesis table / agenda table
【Work it does】the relationship it lets the reader see
【Caption claim】the one-line argument the exhibit makes
【Reuse test】would a teacher put it on a slide? [Y/N]
【Accessibility】grayscale + colorblind-safe + vector? [Y/N]
【Next】phg-writing-style
