separate
This skill covers publication-quality tables and figures for academic research papers. Use when formatting regression results, summary statistics, Monte Carlo output, or research visualizations for LaTeX inclusion. Triggers on "table", "figure", "tabulate", "stargazer", "publication-ready", "LaTeX table", "event study plot", "coefficient plot", "RD plot", "power curve", "specification curve", "binscatter", "format results", "booktabs".
When to use
- The task is choosing an empirical method or running estimation (use `empirical-playbook` or `causal-inference` skill)
- The task is journal submission logistics or referee responses (use `submission-guide` skill)
- Results are exploratory and not yet ready for formatted output (finish estimation first)
- After estimation: format regression results, diagnostics, or robustness checks into tables
- After simulation: format Monte Carlo results (bias, RMSE, coverage) into comparison tables
- For descriptive work: summary statistics, balance tables, transition matrices
- For visualization: event studies, RD plots, coefficient plots, power curves, densities, specification curves
When not to use
- choosing an empirical method
- running estimation
- journal submission logistics
- referee responses
- exploratory results not ready for formatted output
