Latex Lite Template Builder
Use this skill when users ask to:
- migrate a LaTeX template into a reusable short version,
- create a lightweight paper skeleton from an existing source repo,
- keep or neutralize branding assets while preserving style.
Workflow
- Resolve repository root containing
tools/make_lite_template.sh.
- Detect desired profile (
2602, 2603, or auto) from user request.
- Run the wrapper script in
scripts/run_make_lite.sh.
- Return output path and follow-up instructions (edit
main.tex, sec/*.tex, main.bib).
Command
scripts/run_make_lite.sh \
--source <source_dir> \
--profile <2602|2603|auto> \
--output <output_dir> \
[--neutral-branding] \
[--with-overleaf-bundle] \
[--force] [--dry-run]
Notes
- Default is keep-branding mode.
- Output should be a new directory, not in-place rewrite.
- If detection fails, retry with explicit
--profile.
- Supported profile details are in
references/profiles.md.
