LaTeX Conference Template Organizer
Overview
Transform messy conference LaTeX template .zip files into clean, Overleaf-ready submission templates. Official conference templates often contain excessive example content, instructional comments, and disorganized file structures. This skill converts them into templates ready for writing.
Working Mode
Analyze-then-confirm mode: First analyze issues and present them to the user, then execute cleanup after confirmation.
Complete Workflow
Receive .zip file
↓
1. Extract and analyze file structure
↓
2. Identify main file and dependencies
↓
3. Diagnose issues (present to user)
↓
4. Ask for conference info (link/name)
↓
5. Wait for user confirmation of cleanup plan
↓
6. Execute cleanup, create output directory
↓
7. Generate README (with official website info)
↓
8. Output complete
Detect the following patterns and flag for cleanup:
Filenames containing: sample, example, demo, test
Comments containing: sample, example, template, delete this
Dependency Issues
Referenced .sty/.cls files missing
Image/table reference paths incorrect
Step 3: Ask for Conference Information
Ask the user for the following information:
Please provide the following information (optional):
1.**Conference submission link** (recommended): Used to extract official submission requirements
2.**Conference name**: If no link available
3.**Other special requirements**: Such as page limits, anonymity requirements, etc.
Step 4: Present Cleanup Plan
Present the cleanup plan to the user and wait for confirmation:
Add entries to references.bib and cite in text using \cite{key}.
Notes
[Warnings extracted from template comments]
[Important notes extracted from website]
### Extract Information from Website (if user provided a link)
Use WebFetch to get conference submission page content and extract:
- Page limits
- Anonymity requirements
- Format requirements
- Submission deadlines
## Step 7: Cleanup and Output
```bash
# Clean up temporary files
rm -rf /tmp/latex-template-temp
# Output completion message
echo "Template cleanup complete! Output directory: output/"
echo "Please upload the output/ directory to Overleaf to test compilation."
Error Handling
Error Scenario
Handling Approach

Cannot extract conference info
Use default info from template, mark as [To be confirmed]
Website inaccessible
Fall back to template comments, prompt user to fill in manually
Extraction failed
Prompt user to check .zip file integrity
