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 | $0.00076 | $0.01183 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00473 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00237 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
amann-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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tables & Figures for a Review (amann-tables-figures)
When to trigger
- The synthesis is done and the reader needs to see the field at a glance
- The organizing framework would land far better as a diagram than as prose
- A fragmented literature would be clearer as a synthesis table than as paragraphs
- You are tempted to paste a regression table — but this is a review, not a primary paper
The exhibit types an Annals review actually uses
Annals exhibits summarize and reorganize across the literature; they never present the author's own estimation. The workhorses:
| Exhibit | Purpose | Design notes |
|---|---|---|
| Framework figure | render the organizing spine — typology grid, process model, multi-level architecture | this is usually the review's signature exhibit; it should be restate-able from memory and carry the "new way of seeing the field" |
| Who-studied-what synthesis table | one row per study (or per stream): construct, theory base, method/context, finding, your appraisal | rows ordered by the framework's cells, not chronology; columns let the reader compare comparable work |
| Search / coverage exhibit | a PRISMA-style flow, a search-terms table, or a publications-over-time chart | documents the systematic process from amann-literature-synthesis and pre-empts "why did you omit X?" |
| Agenda / gap matrix | the framework's empty cells laid out as the future-research agenda | turns the generativity of the framework into a concrete, visible roadmap |
Building credible synthesis exhibits
- The framework figure must do conceptual work. It should be the contribution rendered visually — readers should be able to reconstruct the review's argument from it. A decorative diagram that merely lists topics fails.
- Compare like with like. In a synthesis table, group studies that theorize the same construct; never put incommensurable constructs in one column (the exhibit version of the pooling error from
amann-literature-synthesis). - Carry an appraisal column. A finding column without a credibility/method note invites "but how good is that study?" — answer it in the table (links to
amann-evidence-standards). - Self-contained captions. An Annals exhibit is read on its own; the caption states what it shows, the unit, how to read a row, and the source studies.
- Source every cell. Each entry traces to a paper in the coding matrix; an unsourced number in a review is indefensible.
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.

amann-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 adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,183 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
