What it does
Smr Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing tables and figures for a Sociological Methods & Research (SMR) paper — self-contained simulation grids, method-comparison tables, diagnostic plots, and equation/notation exhibits in ASA-styled format. Designs exhibits; does not write prose or run analyses.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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
Smr Tables Figures loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 527 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.

- description
- Use when designing tables and figures for a Sociological Methods & Research (SMR) paper — self-contained simulation grids, method-comparison tables, diagnostic plots, and equation/notation exhibits in ASA-styled format. Designs exhibits; does not write prose or run analyses.
SMR Tables and Figures
Use this to make exhibits carry the methodological argument. At SMR the central exhibits are usually a simulation results grid and a method-comparison table, plus diagnostic figures — not the descriptive-statistics tables of a substantive paper. Each must be readable without the surrounding text and must let a reviewer audit the claim directly.
The simulation results exhibit
This is the most-scrutinized table in a methods paper. Design rules:
- One row per DGP cell, one column block per method — or a small-multiples figure if the grid is large. The reader must compare methods within a cell at a glance.
- Show the metric that matches the claim (bias, RMSE, coverage, size, power) and report Monte Carlo standard error or replication count so the precision of the simulation is visible.
- Mark the contribution cell (where the incumbent breaks and the method holds) and the boundary cell (where the method degrades). Honesty about the boundary reads as rigor.
- Avoid burying the headline in a 40-row table; lead with a compact summary and put the full grid in an appendix if needed.
Method-comparison and notation exhibits
- A comparison table of methods × properties (assumptions required, what each is robust to, cost) orients the reader before the results — a powerful, distinctly-methods-paper exhibit.
- Notation must be consistent between equations, tables, and figures; a symbol that means one thing in the theorem and another in the table is a credibility leak at a methods venue.
- Equations are exhibits too: number them, keep estimands and estimators visually distinct, and place assumptions near the result they support.
Diagnostic figures
- For inference methods, a coverage or size figure across the difficulty parameter often communicates more than a table — show the nominal line and where each method departs from it.
- For estimators, bias/RMSE curves across sample size make the asymptotic story visible.
- Keep figures legible in grayscale where possible and ensure every figure is referenced and interpreted in the text.

ASA and SAGE formatting discipline
- Follow ASA style for table titles, notes, and numbering (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准); put method abbreviations and Monte Carlo details in the table note so the exhibit is self-contained.
- Under double-anonymized review, exhibits must not deanonymize: no author-identifying file paths, software-account names, or "as in our earlier work" captions.
- Confirm figure/table file-format and resolution requirements on the live SAGE author page before final submission.
Checklist
- The simulation grid compares methods within each cell at a glance.
- Metrics match the claim and Monte Carlo precision (SE or replication count) is shown.
- The contribution cell and the boundary cell are both visible.
- A method × property comparison table orients the reader.
- Notation is identical across equations, tables, and figures.
- Inference figures show the nominal line and each method's departure.
- Table notes make every exhibit self-contained; ASA style followed.
- No exhibit deanonymizes the authors.
Anti-patterns
- Wall-of-numbers grid: a giant table with no marked headline cell.
- Metric mismatch: reporting bias when the claim is about coverage.
- Notation drift: symbols that change meaning between theorem and table.
- Hidden Monte Carlo error: results with no replication count or MCSE.
- Deanonymizing captions: "our package" or author file paths in exhibits.
- Decorative descriptive tables: substantive-paper exhibits crowding out the simulation grid.
