Individual skill

anmath-figures

Use when organizing the exposition and structure of a pure-mathematics manuscript for Annals of Mathematics — sectioning, notation, statements-before-proofs, commutative diagrams, and readability for an expert non-specialist. Figures are optional and rare; this skill is about exposition first. Does not assess the proof's correctness.

# Exposition and Structure (anmath-figures)

## When to trigger

- The paper is hard to follow even though the proof is correct
- Notation is inconsistent or introduced after first use
- Theorems and their proofs are interleaved confusingly
- A relation between objects would be far clearer as a commutative diagram
- You are deciding whether the rare case of an actual figure is warranted

> In pure mathematics, papers are theorem-and-proof and usually have **no experiments and
> few or no figures**. "Figures" here means *exposition and structure*: a figure or diagram
> is included only when it conveys structure more efficiently than prose.
