Table Generation Skill for Claude

by lingzhi227

Generate publication-quality LaTeX tables from experimental results. Convert JSON/CSV data to booktabs-styled tables with bold best results, multi-row layouts, and proper captions. Use when creating result tables, comparison tables, or ablation tables for papers.

Table Generation

Convert experimental results into publication-ready LaTeX tables.

Input

  • $0 — Table type: comparison, ablation, descriptive, custom
  • $1 — Data source: JSON file, CSV file, or inline data

Scripts

Generate LaTeX table from JSON/CSV

python ~/.claude/skills/table-generation/scripts/results_to_table.py \
  --input results.json --type comparison \
  --bold-best max --caption "Performance comparison" \
  --label tab:main_results

Supports: comparison, ablation, descriptive, multi-dataset table types.

Additional flags: --type multi-dataset for methods x datasets x metrics layout, --significance for p-value stars, --underline-second for second-best results.

References

  • LaTeX table templates and examples: ~/.claude/skills/table-generation/references/table-templates.md

Table Types

comparison — Main results table

  • Rows = methods (baselines + ours), Columns = metrics/datasets
  • Bold the best result in each column
  • Include mean +/- std when available
  • Use \multirow for method categories (Supervised, Self-supervised, etc.)

ablation — Ablation study table

  • Rows = variants (full model, minus component A, minus component B, ...)
  • Columns = metrics
  • Bold the full model result
  • Use checkmarks for component presence

descriptive — Dataset/statistics table

  • Dataset characteristics, hyperparameters, or summary statistics
  • Clean formatting with proper units

custom — Free-form table

  • User specifies layout and content

Required Packages

\usepackage{booktabs}    % \toprule, \midrule, \bottomrule
\usepackage{multirow}    % \multirow
\usepackage{multicol}    % multi-column layouts
\usepackage{threeparttable}  % table notes

Output Format

Always generate tables with:

  • booktabs rules (\toprule, \midrule, \bottomrule)
  • \caption{} and \label{tab:...}
  • Bold best results using \textbf{}
  • Table notes via threeparttable when needed
  • Proper alignment (l for text, c or r for numbers)

Rules

  • Only include numbers from actual experimental logs — never hallucinate results
  • All numbers must match the data source exactly
  • Use $\pm$ for standard deviations
  • Use \underline{} for second-best results when appropriate
  • Keep tables compact — avoid unnecessary columns
  • Use table* for wide tables spanning two columns
  • Add glossary/notes for abbreviated column headers

Seaborn
by christophacham
×3

Statistical visualization with pandas integration. Use for quick exploration of distributions, relationships, and categorical comparisons with attractive defaults. Best for box plots, violin plots, pair plots, heatmaps. Built on matplotlib. For interactive plots use plotly; for publication styling use scientific-visualization.

Pitch Deck
by anthropics
vendor ×1

Populates investment banking pitch deck templates with data from source files. Use when: user provides a PowerPoint template to fill in, user has source data (Excel/CSV) to populate into slides, user mentions populating or filling a pitch deck template, or user needs to transfer data into existing slide layouts. Not for creating presentations from scratch.

Meta-skill for publication-ready figures. Use when creating journal submission figures requiring multi-panel layouts, significance annotations, error bars, colorblind-safe palettes, and specific journal formatting (Nature, Science, Cell). Orchestrates matplotlib/seaborn/plotly with publication styles. For quick exploration use seaborn or plotly directly.

Core Web Vitals
by christophacham
×1

Optimize Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) for better page experience and search ranking. Use when asked to "improve Core Web Vitals", "fix LCP", "reduce CLS", "optimize INP", "page experience optimization", or "fix layout shifts". Focuses specifically on the three Core Web Vitals metrics. Do NOT use for general web performance (use perf-web-optimization), Lighthouse audits (use perf-lighthouse), or Astro-specific optimization (use perf-astro).
