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

What it does
Convert regression or summary-statistics output into publication-ready LaTeX tables for an academic paper.
Who is it for?
Researchers formatting regression or summary-statistics tables for a journal submission.
Skip if: Running the statistical models themselves or producing non-LaTeX output.
When should I use this skill?
You have model output and need a formatted LaTeX table for a paper.
What you get
A compileable LaTeX table with booktabs rules, significance stars, standard-error notes, captions and labels.
- Compileable LaTeX table code with captions, labels, and significance notes
By the numbers
- 3-step workflow (understand context, generate output, verify and explain)

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

Software
- LaTeX distribution (TeX Live or MikTeX)
Packages
booktabsthreeparttable(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
