latex-tables is a Claude skill that generates publication-ready LaTeX tables for regression results and summary statistics using academic formatting.

About

This skill generates publication-ready LaTeX tables for regression results and summary statistics using academic formatting. A researcher uses it to convert model output from Stata, R, or Python into clean tables with booktabs rules, significance stars, and notes. It standardizes table style across a paper and prepares tables for journal submission.

  • Generates booktabs-formatted regression and summary-statistics tables in LaTeX
  • Adds significance stars, standard-error notes, labels and captions
  • Accepts output from Stata, R, or Python

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"

Example Output

Requirements

Software

  • LaTeX distribution (TeX Live or MikTeX)

Packages

  • booktabs
  • threeparttable (optional for notes)

Best Practices

1. Keep tables compact and readable 2. Use consistent notation for standard errors and stars 3. Provide clear captions and labels

Common Pitfalls

  • Overly wide tables that do not fit the page
  • Missing notes for standard errors
  • Inconsistent labeling across tables
