description	Organize messy conference LaTeX template .zip files into clean Overleaf-ready structure. Extracts, analyzes, cleans up, and generates README with submission requirements. Triggers on "organize LaTeX template", "clean up template", "prepare Overleaf template", "整理LaTeX模板".

Plan tracking: codex 无 TaskCreate/TaskUpdate/TodoWrite 任务板。进度清单用 update_plan({ explanation?, plan: [{ step, status }] }) 维护（整体提交步骤数组，status: pending | in_progress | completed），权威状态始终在 session 工件中；依赖/认领（addBlockedBy/owner）是工件字段，不是工具参数。

Scholar LaTeX Organizer

Transform messy conference LaTeX template .zip files into clean, Overleaf-ready submission templates. Official templates often contain excessive examples and disorganized files — this skill converts them into templates ready for writing.

Pre-load (before execution)

1. Codebase docs: If .workflow/codebase/ARCHITECTURE.md exists, read for project context
2. Specs: maestro load --type spec --category coding — load coding conventions
3. Wiki knowledge: maestro search "academic writing research paper" --json — top 5 entries as prior context
4. All optional — proceed without if unavailable

 + plan     structure    (Overleaf-ready)

Key Design Principles

1. Analyze-then-confirm: First present findings, then execute after user approval.
2. Preserve template integrity: Keep all .sty/.cls files unchanged — only clean up .tex content.
3. Section separation: Split monolithic main.tex into modular text/ files.
4. Conference-aware: Detect document class and apply conference-specific configurations.

Interactive Preference Collection

Before dispatching to any phase, collect these preferences:

Questions to ask the user:

1. Template Source
   "Where is the template .zip file? (path)"
   → templatePath

2. Conference Info
   "Conference name or submission page URL (for extracting requirements)"
   → conferenceInfo

3. Output Directory
   "Where should the organized template go? (default: ./output/)"
   → outputDir

4. Section Structure
   Options: Standard (intro/related/method/experiments/conclusion) | Custom
   → sectionStructure

Store responses as organizerPreferences context for all phases.

Auto Mode Defaults

When workflowPreferences.autoYes === true:

• Use .zip file from cwd or recent downloads
• Standard section structure
• Output to ./output/
• Auto-detect conference from template
• Skip confirmation prompts

Execution Flow

COMPACT DIRECTIVE: Context compression MUST check update_plan phase status. The phase currently marked in_progress is the active execution phase — preserve its FULL content. Only compress phases marked completed or pending.

update_plan Setup

LaTeX Template Organization:
- [ ] Phase 1: Extract & Analyze — extract zip, identify files, diagnose issues
- [ ] Phase 2: Cleanup & Organize — create structure, clean main.tex, copy assets
- [ ] Phase 3: README & Finalize — generate README, verify compilation

Phase Sequence

Phase 1: Extract & Analyze
   └─ Ref: phases/01-extract-analyze.md
      ├─ Input: templatePath, conferenceInfo
      └─ Output: analysisResult (file inventory, main file, issues, conference type)

Phase 2: Cleanup & Organize
   └─ Ref: phases/02-cleanup-organize.md
      ├─ Input: analysisResult, sectionStructure, outputDir
      └─ Output: organized template in outputDir/

Phase 3: README & Finalize
   └─ Ref: phases/03-readme-finalize.md
      ├─ Input: analysisResult, conferenceInfo, outputDir
      └─ Output: README.md + final verification

Phase Reference Documents (read on-demand when phase executes):

Phase	Document	Purpose	Compact
1	phases/01-extract-analyze.md	Extract and analyze template	update_plan driven
2	phases/02-cleanup-organize.md	Clean up and restructure	update_plan driven + sentinel
3	phases/03-readme-finalize.md	Generate README, finalize	update_plan driven

Compact Rules:

1. update_plan in_progress → preserve full content, do not compress
2. update_plan completed → may compress to summary
3. sentinel fallback → phases marked with sentinel contain compact sentinel; if only sentinel remains, must immediately Read() to recover

Core Rules

1. Never modify .sty/.cls files: Style files are sacred — copy as-is.
2. Present plan before executing: Show cleanup plan and wait for user confirmation.
3. Keep Overleaf-compatible: Empty directories need placeholder files (Overleaf auto-deletes empty dirs).
4. Preserve compilation: The output must compile without errors using the detected compiler.
5. Conference-specific configs: Apply correct anonymous/review mode settings per conference.

Common Conference Templates

Conference	Document Class	Key Config
KDD (ACM)	acmart	nonacm option for anonymous submission
ACM Conferences	acmart	anonymous,review options
CVPR/ICCV	cvpr	Two-column, strict page limits
NeurIPS	neurips_20XX	Anonymous review
ICLR	iclr20XX_conference	Two-column
AAAI	aaaiXX	Two-column, 8 pages + refs

Data Flow

Phase 1 ──analysisResult──→ Phase 2
Phase 1 ──analysisResult──→ Phase 3

Output structure:
  outputDir/
  ├── main.tex              (cleaned main file)
  ├── text/                 (section files)
  │   ├── 01-introduction.tex
  │   ├── 02-related-work.tex
  │   ├── 03-method.tex
  │   ├── 04-experiments.tex
  │   └── 05-conclusion.tex
  ├── figures/              (image files)
  ├── tables/               (table files + example)
  ├── styles/               (.sty/.cls files)
  ├── references.bib        (bibliography)
  └── README.md             (usage guide)

Error Handling

Error	Action
Zip extraction fails	Check file integrity, ask user to re-download
Main file not identifiable	List all .tex files, ask user to choose
Missing dependency (.sty/.cls)	Warn user, suggest CTAN download
Conference info unavailable	Fall back to template comments + documentclass detection
Compilation fails after cleanup	Revert to minimal cleanup, report what needs manual fix
