What it does

Ecta Tables Figures is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when finalizing the simulation tables and any empirical / illustrative exhibits in an Econometrica manuscript so each is self-contained, precise, and reproducible. Formats and audits exhibits; it does not design the Monte Carlo (use ecta-robustness) or run the estimation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Finalizing the simulation tables and any empirical / illustrative exhibits in an Econometrica manuscript so each is self-contained

Example prompts

  • “/ecta-tables-figures”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Self-contained. The caption + notes must let a reader interpret every number without
  2. One concept per table where possible — do not mix size, power, and point-estimation
  3. Consistent precision. Choose decimal places deliberately (e.g., sizes to 3 decimals so
  4. Highlight the comparison. The reader should see at a glance that the proposed method
  5. Monte Carlo error. Where a size or coverage near the nominal level carries the argument,
  6. Three-line / booktabs style. Clean rules (top, mid, bottom), no vertical lines, no

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

Ecta Tables Figures loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 617 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 617 words (~1,255 tokens).

“Econometrica exhibits are read closely by referees who will recompute or sanity-check entries — and at conditional acceptance the ES Data Editor re-runs the code behind every table, figure, and number that comes from data or simulation. Every table and…”
