# Appendix Table Writer (publishable survey tables) ## Why this exists The pipeline can produce index tables that are useful for planning/debugging, but read like internal artifacts. This skill writes publishable, reader-facing tables that can live in an Appendix: - cleaner layout - higher information density - survey-style organization (methods/benchmarks/risks), not intermediate state Index tables remain in `outline/tables_index.md` and should not be copied verbatim into the paper. ## Inputs - `outline/table_schema.md` (table intent + evidence mapping) - `outline/tables_index.md` (internal index; optional but recommended) - `outline/subsection_briefs.jsonl` - `outline/evidence_drafts.jsonl` - `outline/anchor_sheet.jsonl` - `citations/ref.bib` - Optional: `GOAL.md` Read as needed: - `references/table_cell_hygiene.md` when Appendix table cells still copy raw paper self-narration or generic result wrappers Machine-readable assets: - `assets/table_cell_hygiene.json` ## Output - `outline/tables_appendix.md` ## Roles (use explicitly) ### Survey Table Curator (reader lens) Mission: choose tables a reader actually wants in a survey Appendix. Do: - prefer 2-3 tables that answer big questions (methods, evaluation, risks) - make rows comparable (same row unit across the table) - make the table legible without reading the whole paper Avoid: - one-row-per-H3 index dumps - columns named like internal axes ("axes", "blocking_missing", "evidence readiness") ### Production E...
