At a glance

A skill your agent uses when exhibits in a World Development (WD) manuscript are dense, asterisk-laden, or fail a multidisciplinary reader — including maps and qualitative displays.

  • Exhibits in a World Development (WD) manuscript are dense
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, The WD exhibit standard, A worked fix (illustrative) and Execution bridge (StatsPAI /…, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Worlddev Tables Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when exhibits in a World Development (WD) manuscript are dense, asterisk-laden, or fail a multidisciplinary reader — including maps and qualitative displays. Makes every exhibit answer a development question; it does not invent evidence or citations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Research & Science, covering Citation management. 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

  • Exhibits in a World Development (WD) manuscript are dense
  • Fail a multidisciplinary reader — including maps and qualitative displays

Example prompts

  • “/worlddev-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

Worlddev Tables Figures loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 658 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Tables, Figures & Qualitative Displays (worlddev-tables-figures)

When to trigger

  • Tables report significance with asterisks instead of standard errors / confidence intervals
  • Coefficients are shown in model units a non-economist cannot interpret (log points, latent indices)
  • A geographic study has no map, or a busy map that communicates nothing
  • A qualitative paper has no systematic display — just block quotes scattered through prose
  • The main exhibits do not, on their own, let a reader reconstruct the paper's argument

The WD exhibit standard

WD's readership is multidisciplinary and policy-facing, so exhibits must clear a higher legibility bar than in a specialist economics journal: a development scholar from another field, or an informed practitioner, should grasp the headline from the exhibit and its note alone. That changes priorities. Effect sizes in interpretable units beat starred coefficients; a clean figure beats a dense table; a well-built map or qualitative matrix can carry an argument that prose cannot.

Tables
  • Report uncertainty, not stars. Standard errors or confidence intervals in parentheses; no ***. WD's audience reads magnitudes, and asterisks invite dichotomous "significant/not" thinking that the journal's evidence culture resists.
  • Translate to real units. Convert log points to percent; index effects to a meaningful benchmark (a standard deviation, a mean, a poverty-line equivalent). State the comparison ("relative to the control mean of X").
  • One question per table. The title states the question; the note states the sample, the units, the inference, and what is being held fixed.
  • Show the magnitude that matters for policy, not only the cleanest specification.
Figures
  • Prefer figures for the headline. Coefficient plots, event-study leads/lags, dose-response curves, and distributional plots communicate to a broad audience faster than tables.
  • Maps for spatial development data — choropleths for outcomes/treatment, with clear classification, projection, and a note on the unit. A map should answer a question, not decorate.
  • Design for grayscale and color-blind safety (Elsevier prints and renders both); never rely on red/green alone.
Qualitative displays

Qualitative WD papers should display evidence, not only narrate it. Use:

  • Coding/thematic matrices (themes × cases or × informant groups) to show pattern across the corpus.
  • Process-tracing timelines linking events to mechanism steps.
  • Illustrative-quote tables that tie each quote to a theme and a source identifier — including, where it matters, a disconfirming quote.
  • Typologies that organize cases along the dimensions the argument turns on.

A worked fix (illustrative)

A table reports "0.18***" for a transfer program on consumption. The WD fix: report "0.18 (0.05)" and add a note — "an 18% increase relative to the control-group mean of 1,420 PPP$; clustered at the village level (N=86 clusters)." Better still, move it to a coefficient plot with the control-mean reference line, so a public-health reader sees the magnitude and its precision at a glance.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Generate exhibits from the fitted result, not by retyping numbers. Full map: execution-with-mcp. World Development is multidisciplinary development studies; the chain serves its quantitative-causal lane, mixed-methods work uses its own standards.

  • 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.

See a full fitted-result → exhibit chain in the JF execution walkthrough.

Checklist

  • No significance asterisks anywhere; SEs / CIs reported
  • Effects in interpretable units, benchmarked to a meaningful quantity
  • Each table/figure answers one stated question; notes give sample, units, inference
  • Headline result available as a figure, not buried in a wide table
  • Spatial data shown on a legible, well-classified map where relevant
  • Qualitative evidence displayed systematically (matrix/timeline/quote table), not only quoted in prose
  • Grayscale- and color-blind-safe; figures readable at print size

Anti-patterns

  • Asterisk-driven tables that train the reader to read "significant vs. not" instead of magnitude
  • Coefficients in raw model units no cross-disciplinary reader can interpret
  • A decorative map that conveys no comparison, or a missing map for clearly spatial data
  • Kitchen-sink regression tables with twelve columns and no signposted headline
  • Qualitative evidence reduced to cherry-picked block quotes with no systematic display
