From restud-skills
Makes tables and figures in REStud manuscripts publication-grade: fixes oversized regression tables, unclear figures, and inconsistent formatting. Does not run analysis.

REStud values elegance and economy, and that extends to exhibits. Two REStud-specific facts: (1) auxiliary exhibits go in the online appendix, so the main-text figure budget is tight — promote only the exhibits that carry the contribution; (2) every published exhibit must map to a line in the deposited code, because the Data Editor regenerates tables and figures from your replication package before publication (AEA DCAS check; see restud-replication-package) — so script your exhibits, never hand-edit them. The standard:
\toprule / \midrule / \bottomrule); no vertical rules, no double horizontal rules.estout/esttab, etable, modelsummary) so the table regenerates with the result — no hand-typed numbers.For theory and theory-with-empirics papers, exhibits earn their place too:
Before finalizing, run one pass across all exhibits together (not one at a time):
Inconsistent exhibits are a fragility signal — referees who spot a mismatched N start doubting the rest.
【MAIN EXHIBITS】[table/figure — the one result each carries]
【MAGNITUDE READABLE】yes / no — scale reported
【FORMAT】booktabs tables / vector figures — confirmed
【NOTES SELF-CONTAINED】yes / no
【HEADLINE FIGURE】<which exhibit is the paper's "face">

npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin restud-skillsDesigns publication-grade tables and figures for REStat economics manuscripts, ensuring the headline estimate is legible from one exhibit with standard errors, self-contained notes, and consistent house style.
Builds EER-compliant tables reporting standard errors, R², and N; designs causal figures with confidence bands and self-contained captions. Activated when exhibits lack SEs, are cluttered, or need Elsevier economics house style.
Finalizes RFS manuscript tables and figures with self-contained, publication-grade formatting: coefficient layout, standard-error reporting, clustering, vector figures, and regeneration-checked exhibits.
