What it does

Tables And Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when generating a LaTeX results table, creating a figure for a paper, formatting descriptive statistics, preparing regression output for publication, or producing vector-quality graphics. Enforces booktabs, threeparttable, vector PDFs, and script-generated output.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Statistics. 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

  • Generating a LaTeX results table
  • Creating a figure for a paper
  • Formatting descriptive statistics
  • Preparing regression output for publication

Example prompts

  • “/tables-and-figures”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Generate every table and figure from a script in code/ that reads from data/processed/ and writes to output/tables/ or output/figures/…
  2. Use booktabs rules in tables. \toprule, \midrule, \bottomrule. Never \hline. Never vertical bars.
  3. Wrap every table in threeparttable with a notes block documenting: standard error type, significance convention, sample, data source.
  4. Save figures as vector PDF. Use ggplot2 with ggsave(..., device = cairo_pdf) in R, or matplotlib.pyplot.savefig(..., format='pdf') in…
  5. Include in the paper with \input{} or \includegraphics{}. Never paste numbers or copy images.
  6. Use the naming convention
  7. Table notes and figure captions follow the user's paper language. The file names and script comments stay in English; the user-facing text…
  8. No table may overflow the text width. After generating a table, verify it fits within \linewidth. If it overflows

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 latex and r).

    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

Tables And Figures loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 724 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
~1.7k

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 724 words (~1,746 tokens).

“This skill produces publication-quality tables and figures that are regenerated by scripts, not hand-edited. Tables use booktabs for professional rules and threeparttable for integrated notes. Figures are vector PDFs — PNG and JPG are forbidden in the final paper. Every…”
