# 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")
