## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# LaTeX Tables

## Purpose

This skill creates clean, publication-ready tables in LaTeX for regression results and summary statistics, using standard academic formatting.

## When to Use

- Converting model output into LaTeX tables
- Standardizing table style across a paper
- Adding notes, significance stars, and labels

## Instructions

Follow these steps to complete the task:

### Step 1: Understand the Context

Before generating any code, ask the user:

- What type of table is needed (regression, summary stats, balance)?
- What software produced the results (Stata, R, Python)?
- Which formatting style is required (journal-specific, AEA, etc.)?

### Step 2: Generate the Output

Based on the context, generate LaTeX code that:

1. **Uses `booktabs`** for clean horizontal rules
2. **Includes labels and captions** for referencing in the paper
3. **Adds notes** for standard errors and significance
4. **Aligns numeric columns** for readability

### Step 3: Verify and Explain

After generating output:

- Explain how to compile the table
- Highlight any assumptions in the formatting
- Suggest refinements for journal submission

## Example Prompts

- "Create a regression table with three models in LaTeX"
- "Format summary statistics with mean and sd columns"
- "Add significance stars and standard error notes"
