description	Use when personally writing venue-style LaTeX with Cursor Agent: asset layout, BibTeX/natbib hygiene, section anchors, figures, supplementary—without any CLI automation.

Conference manuscript (personal LaTeX + Agent)

What this skill is for

• You write assets/tex/main.tex yourself (or co-edit with Cursor Agent).
• You want BibTeX / natbib / biblatex to resolve after manual bibtex + pdflatex passes.
• You want anchors so Agent edits stay inside known section blocks (optional but helpful).

Orchestration: see repo root AGENT.md.

Assets layout (recommended)

See references/tex-asset-layout.md for anchors, \graphicspath, and optional sections/*.tex split.

Bibliography ↔ main.tex

• Keep one \bibliography{...} stem matching references.bib (or your chosen name).
• After editing .bib, run bibtex on the jobname (usually main) then pdflatex twice.

Workflow with Cursor Agent (no scripts)

1. You maintain assets/notes/project.md (problem, method sketch, boundaries, Claim: lines).
2. Agent helps expand prose inside % <SECTION:…:START> … END blocks without deleting the markers.
3. Optional JSON artifacts (literature, formulas, observations) live wherever you choose—e.g. notes/artifacts/…—see other skills/*-analyst/ contracts.
4. Run venue-format-auditor before submission packaging checks.

Honest scope

• Acceptance depends on research + months of iteration. This repo gives checklists and Skills, not magic PDFs.
