Awesome Journal Skills is a collection of agent skill packs tailored to hundreds of academic journals across fields including economics, social science, medicine, science, and engineering. Researchers use the packs for tasks such as choosing topics, designing empirical strategies, preparing tables and figures, submitting papers, and responding to reviewers. The catalogue entries are the project's journal-specific skills and related plugins.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.01154 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00462 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00231 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00115 |
Grade A, and why
aeri-tables-figures scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tables & Figures — Five-Exhibit Budget (aeri-tables-figures)
When to trigger
- The draft has more than five figures-plus-tables
- An exhibit spills past one page, or carries significance asterisks/boldface
- Each exhibit costs 200 words of your text budget and you must choose
- The central result is buried in a dense multi-panel table
The AER: Insights exhibit constraints (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准)
- Maximum five exhibits (figures or tables combined). Manuscripts over the limit are returned unreviewed.
- Each exhibit is limited to one page.
- Each exhibit subtracts 200 words from the main-text allowance (7,000 with zero exhibits → 6,000 with five). So every exhibit must out-earn 200 words of prose.
- AEA house style: report standard errors / confidence sets; no asterisks or boldface to denote significance (an AEA-wide convention). Notes state the estimator, sample, clustering, and units.
Budgeting the five slots
Choose the exhibit set that, together, tells the single-insight story. A common allocation for an empirical short paper:
| Slot | Typical content |
|---|---|
| 1 | The headline result — the one figure or table a reader remembers (event-study, RD plot, treatment-effect estimate) |
| 2 | The central identification diagnostic (pre-trend leads, density, first-stage, balance) |
| 3 | A mechanism or key heterogeneity exhibit, if it is part of the single insight |
| 4–5 | Held in reserve — a robustness summary or a descriptive table only if load-bearing |
If two exhibits can merge into one well-designed multi-panel page, merge them and reclaim a slot (and 200 words). Everything else goes to the Supplemental Appendix.
Design rules
- The headline exhibit must be self-reading — a reader who sees only it should grasp the insight.
- Figures over tables where a figure communicates the magnitude faster (AER: Insights papers lean visual).
- One page each, legible at print size; no microscopic multi-panel grids spilling over.
- Notes carry the inference since there are no asterisks: report point estimates with SEs / 95% confidence sets in the cell or note.
- Units and signs explicit; the magnitude, not just the sign, is the point.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

aeri-tables-figures is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,289 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,154 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-15.
