  • Facilitates operations for Latex Formatting.

2. Mission and Applicability

Use this module when you need to execute tasks related to Latex Formatting.

Apply when:

• Executing the legacy latex-formatting skill workflow.

Do not apply when:

• Functionality falls outside the scope of Handle LaTeX formatting, templates, and styling for academic papers. Set up conference templates (ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, AAAI, ACL), fix formatting issues, manage packages, and ensure venue-specific compliance. Use when the user needs to set up a paper template, fix LaTeX formatting, or prepare for submission..

3. Architecture Pattern

• Pattern: Legacy Claude Code Skill Execution Pattern
• Core design rules:
  • This module was automatically migrated from Claude-Research-Paper-OS.
  • Rely on provided shell scripts and reference files in the local directory.

4. Implementation Workflow

LaTeX Formatting

Set up and manage LaTeX formatting for academic papers.

Input

• $0 — Action: setup, fix, check
• $1 — Venue name (for setup) or .tex file path (for fix/check)

Scripts

Pre-submission format checker

python /home/lebi/SKILLS/agent-module-claudeos-latex-formatting/scripts/latex_checker.py paper/main.tex --venue neurips --check-anon

Checks: word count, required sections, TODO markers, anonymization, mismatched environments, content stats.

Validate citations and references

python /home/lebi/SKILLS/agent-module-claudeos-citation-management/scripts/validate_citations.py \
  --tex paper/main.tex --bib paper/references.bib --check-figures

Clean LaTeX text (fix special characters)

python /home/lebi/SKILLS/agent-module-claudeos-latex-formatting/scripts/clean_latex.py \
  --input paper/main.tex --output paper/main_cleaned.tex

Replaces special/non-UTF8 characters with LaTeX equivalents, skips math environments. Key flags: --dry-run, --tables-only

Auto-fix after checking

python /home/lebi/SKILLS/agent-module-claudeos-latex-formatting/scripts/latex_checker.py paper/main.tex --venue neurips --fix

Runs checks then applies clean_latex.py fixes, writing to main_fixed.tex.

References

• Venue specs, project structure, packages, commands: /home/lebi/SKILLS/agent-module-claudeos-latex-formatting/references/venue-templates.md

Action: setup

Create the project directory structure and main.tex for the specified venue. Use the template from references/venue-templates.md.

Action: fix

Fix common LaTeX issues: unescaped special chars, math mode errors, float placement, overfull/underfull boxes, cross-reference issues.

Action: check

Run latex_checker.py for pre-submission validation. Check page count, anonymization, required sections, TODO markers.

5. Decision Framework

Decision Area	Preferred Option	Alternative	Selection Rule
Skill Usage	Utilize bundled scripts	Manual execution	Prefer automated scripts if available.

6. Validation Strategy

Functional Validation

• Ensure bundled scripts execute without runtime errors.
• Validate that the output matches the expected JSON or Markdown schema.

7. Benchmarks and SLO Targets

• Execution Latency: < 30s for standard local script execution.
• Quality: Output adheres to constraints specified in the prompt references.

8. Risks and Controls

• Risk: Bundled scripts rely on missing absolute paths (/home/lebi/SKILLS/agent-module-claudeos-...).
  • Control: The paths should be mapped or modified to reflect current working paths.

9. Agent Execution Checklist

• Determine required inputs for latex-formatting.
• Execute primary workflows or bundled scripts.
• Parse Output Format.

10. Reuse Notes

Adapt only:

• Command-line arguments for the bundled shell/python scripts.
