What it does
Publication Output is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. This skill covers publication-quality tables and figures for academic research papers. Use when formatting regression results, summary statistics, Monte Carlo output, or research visualizations for LaTeX inclusion. Triggers on "table", "figure", "tabulate", "stargazer", "publication-ready", "LaTeX table", "event study plot", "coefficient plot", "RD plot", "power curve", "specification curve", "binscatter", "format results", "booktabs".
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/figure-generation.md` and `references/table-generation.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX, Data analysis and Data visualization. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…
When your agent uses it
- Formatting regression results
- Summary statistics
- Monte Carlo output
- Research visualizations for LaTeX inclusion
Example prompts
- “figure”
- “tabulate”
- “stargazer”
- “/publication-output”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. 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 (its code samples are python).
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
Publication Output loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 692 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 692 words (~1,957 tokens).
“Generate publication-quality tables and figures for academic research papers. Routes to the appropriate output type based on content, applies standard academic formatting conventions, and produces files ready for LaTeX inclusion.”

- publication-output
