What it does
Paper Compile is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Compile LaTeX paper to PDF, fix errors, and verify output. Use when user says "编译论文", "compile paper", "build PDF", "生成PDF", or wants to compile LaTeX into a submission-ready PDF.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX, PDF and Verification before completion. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.
When your agent uses it
- Wants to compile LaTeX into a submission-ready PDF
- Tasks that involve LaTeX
- Tasks that involve PDF
Example prompts
- “compile paper”
- “build PDF”
- “/paper-compile”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Verify Prerequisites
- First Compilation Attempt
- Error Diagnosis and Auto-Fix
- Iterative Fix Loop
- Post-Compilation Checks
- Page Count Verification
- 5: Stale File Detection
- Submission Readiness
- Output Summary
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash(*)ReadWriteEditGrepGlob
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pdftotextpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Paper Compile loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 851 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:32
# Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install texlive-full - NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 851 words (~2,500 tokens).
