What it does

Restat Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building or revising the exhibits of a The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) manuscript so the main result is legible in one table or figure in AEA/REStat house style. Designs publication-grade exhibits; it does not run the underlying estimation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Data & Analytics, covering Statistics. 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

  • Revising the exhibits of a The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) manuscript so the main result is legible in one table
  • Figure in AEA/REStat house style

Example prompts

  • “/restat-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

Restat Tables Figures loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 676 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 building or revising the exhibits of a The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) manuscript so the main result is legible in one table or figure in AEA/REStat house style. Designs publication-grade exhibits; it does not run the underlying estimation.

Tables & Figures (restat-tables-figures)

When to trigger

  • The main result is buried across several dense tables instead of one clear exhibit
  • Tables lack self-contained notes (a reader must hunt the text for the spec)
  • Figures are decorative rather than load-bearing, or omit uncertainty
  • You are preparing exhibits for the online appendix vs the main paper

The REStat exhibit bar

A REStat reader should grasp the headline estimate from one main exhibit — a table or, increasingly, an event-study / RD / coefficient-stability figure with a confidence band. REStat follows standard economics house style: significance stars are permitted, but standard errors are expected in parentheses and the exhibit must stand on its own. Every table and figure carries a self-contained note stating the sample, the specification, the unit of observation, the inference (clustering level), and what the reader should take away. The main paper is self-contained; supporting detail goes to the online appendix (≤20 pages; source map refreshed 2026-06-20).

Exhibit design rules

ElementREStat-compliant practice
Headline resultOne main table or one figure a reader can read in 30 seconds
Standard errorsIn parentheses below coefficients; clustering stated in the note
SignificanceStars allowed, but never instead of SEs; report the SE always
NotesSelf-contained: sample, spec, unit, N, inference, source
FiguresLoad-bearing (event study with leads, RD plot, coefficient stability) with CIs/bands
DecimalsConsistent, sensible precision; no spurious digits
AppendixRobustness and construction detail → online appendix (≤20 pp); main paper self-contained
ReproducibilityEvery number traces to a script in the Harvard Dataverse package (restat-replication-package)

Which exhibit for which design

  • DID / event study: an event-study plot with leads and lags and a confidence band is often the single most persuasive exhibit — flat pre-trends visible at a glance.
  • RD: a binned scatter with the fitted polynomials and the discontinuity, plus the estimate table with bandwidth/robust CIs.
  • IV / shift-share: a first-stage table or figure alongside the structural estimate; do not hide a weak first stage.
  • Measurement papers: a validation figure (new measure vs benchmark) earns its place as a main exhibit.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Generate exhibits from the fitted result, not by retyping numbers. Full map: execution-with-mcp. REStat is applied econometrics/empirical micro — the home of careful identification; DiD/IV/RDD with weak-IV-robust CIs.

  • Tables: etable (multi-model) or did_summary_to_latex straight from the result_id.
  • Figures: plot_from_result / enhanced_event_study_plot / event_study_table — axis units and the SE/clustering note baked in.
  • Every note names the estimator + clustering and states the magnitude in interpretable units.

Checklist

  • The headline estimate is legible from ONE main exhibit
  • Standard errors in parentheses; clustering level stated in the note
  • Stars (if used) accompany, never replace, standard errors
  • Every table/figure note is self-contained (sample, spec, unit, N, inference, source)
  • Figures are load-bearing and carry uncertainty (CIs / bands)
  • Main paper self-contained; supporting exhibits moved to online appendix (≤20 pp)
  • Every reported number is reproducible from the deposited code

Anti-patterns

  • A wall of coefficients with no single readable headline exhibit
  • Stars with no standard errors (REStat expects the SE shown)
  • Table notes that force the reader back into the text to learn the specification
  • Decorative figures without confidence bands or a clear takeaway
  • Overstuffed main paper that should have pushed detail to the online appendix
  • Exhibit numbers that do not match what the deposited script regenerates

Worked vignette: one figure carrying the paper (illustrative)

A staggered-DID paper had its main result spread over three tables: a TWFE column, a Callaway–Sant'Anna column, and a robustness table. A REStat editor wanted to see the identification at a glance. The fix collapsed the headline into a single event-study figure — event-time on the x-axis, the estimated effect with a 95% confidence band on the y-axis, leads visibly flat and centered on zero, lags showing the dynamic effect. The accompanying table kept only the pooled post estimate with its SE and clustering note. A reader now sees parallel-trends support and the effect in one exhibit; the three old tables moved to the online appendix. Self-contained note states sample, estimator, unit, N, and clustering — nothing to hunt for in the text.
