Based on SOC occupation classification
Create a new empirical research project: generates projects/<name>/ with latex, code, scripts, results, literature, and guidance subfolders plus README.md and project-level CLAUDE.md.
Publication-ready figure conventions for empirical finance and economics. Covers matplotlib styling, color palettes, export settings, and common figure types (time series, decile bars, coefficient plots, event studies). Auto-apply when creating any figure, plot, or visualization.
Agent-driven cold-start onboarding. Use the repo shell entrypoint to find or install Python 3.11+, then run the shared bootstrap audit/plan/apply flow and configure WRDS only if the user has it.
Create and compile Beamer presentations following the Rhetoric of Decks philosophy. Use when making seminar or conference slides.
Creates new Claude Code skills, auto-apply skills, or auto-trigger rules, or audits existing ones for quality and effectiveness.
Clean and fix .tex files -- strip comments, fix compilation errors, verify section markers

| description | Compile LaTeX to PDF using pdflatex + bibtex cycle |
Compile the paper from LaTeX source to PDF.
/build-paper -- full compile cycle for main.tex/build-paper --quick -- single pdflatex pass (faster, no bibliography update)/build-paper path/to/file.tex -- compile a specific fileUse the pdflatex and bibtex paths from canonical local state reported by tools/bootstrap.py audit (or a repo-root CLAUDE.local.md compatibility shim if present). The general pattern:
Full build:
cd {latex_dir} && pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode {file} && bibtex {stem} && pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode {file} && pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode {file}
Quick build:
cd {latex_dir} && pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode {file}
IMPORTANT: Always cd to the directory containing the .tex file before compiling.
