What it does
Venue Templates is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Venue-specific LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for journals, conferences, posters, and grants—use when a target venue imposes strict layout, page limits, anonymization, or agency compliance rules.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 27 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `references/cell_press_style.md`, `references/conferences_formatting.md` and `references/cs_conference_style.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Scientific writing and LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A target venue imposes strict layout
- Agency compliance rules
Example prompts
- “/venue-templates”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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
Venue Templates loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~50k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 437 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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- venue-templates
- description
- Venue-specific LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for journals, conferences, posters, and grants—use when a target venue imposes strict layout, page limits, anonymization, or agency compliance rules.
- license
- MIT
- author
- AIPOCH
When to Use
- You are submitting a manuscript to a specific journal (e.g., Nature, Science, PLOS, Cell Press, IEEE, ACM) and must follow its official LaTeX class/style and author instructions.
- You are preparing a conference paper (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, CHI, ACL/EMNLP) with strict page limits, anonymization rules, and required formatting.
- You need to produce a conference poster in a standard size (A0/A1/36×48/etc.) using common LaTeX poster packages.
- You are drafting a grant proposal (e.g., NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA) where compliance constraints (page limits, margins, font rules, required sections) are enforced.
- You want to validate that a compiled PDF complies with venue requirements (page count, margins, fonts, reference style, figure constraints).
Key Features
- Template library for:
- Journal articles (Nature portfolio, Science family, PLOS, Cell Press, IEEE, ACM, Springer/Elsevier/Wiley/BMC/Frontiers, etc.)
- Conference papers (NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR/CVPR/AAAI/CHI/SIGKDD/EMNLP/SIGIR/USENIX, etc.)
- Research posters (A0/A1/US sizes;
beamerposter,tikzposter,baposter) - Grant proposals (NSF/NIH/DOE/DARPA + selected foundations)
- Venue requirements references (page limits, fonts, margins, spacing, anonymization, file formats, supplementary limits).
- Helper scripts to:
- query templates/requirements by venue (
scripts/query_template.py) - customize templates with metadata (
scripts/customize_template.py) - validate compiled outputs (
scripts/validate_format.py)
- query templates/requirements by venue (
- Writing style guides and examples (how the “voice” differs across venues), stored under
references/andassets/examples/.
Dependencies
- Python
>=3.10 - TeX Live
>=2023(or MiKTeX>=23.x) latexmk >=4.80(recommended for reproducible builds)
Example Usage
A minimal end-to-end workflow (query → customize → compile → validate):
# 1) Discover templates and requirements for a venue
python scripts/query_template.py --venue "NeurIPS" --type "article"
python scripts/query_template.py --venue "NeurIPS" --requirements
# 2) Customize a template (example: Nature article)
python scripts/customize_template.py \
--template assets/journals/nature_article.tex \
--title "Your Paper Title" \
--authors "First Author, Second Author" \
--affiliations "University Name" \
--output my_nature_paper.tex
# 3) Compile (choose one)
latexmk -pdf my_nature_paper.tex
# or:
pdflatex my_nature_paper.tex
bibtex my_nature_paper
pdflatex my_nature_paper.tex
pdflatex my_nature_paper.tex
# 4) Validate the compiled PDF against venue rules
python scripts/validate_format.py \
--file my_nature_paper.pdf \
--venue "Nature" \
--check-allCommon reference and asset locations used by this skill:

Implementation Details
Template selection logic
- Use
scripts/query_template.pyto map(venue, document type)to a canonical template path underassets/and to the corresponding requirements entry underreferences/. - Prefer official venue class/style files when available (e.g., conference
.styfiles), and treat local templates as wrappers/examples.
- Use
Customization model
scripts/customize_template.pyreplaces placeholders (title/authors/affiliations/email and other metadata) while preserving venue-controlled formatting directives.- Recommended practice: do not override class options, margins, font settings, or bibliography style unless the venue explicitly allows it.
Validation checks (typical)
- Page count vs. venue limit (e.g., NeurIPS/ICML main text limits; NSF/NIH section limits).
- Margin and font constraints (common in grants; sometimes enforced in conferences).
- Reference/citation style consistency (numeric vs author-year; bracket vs superscript).
- Figure constraints (resolution guidance, allowed formats, color requirements).
- Anonymization requirements for double-blind venues (presence of author-identifying metadata).
Poster sizing and layout
- Poster templates target standard sizes (A0/A1 and common US dimensions) and provide grid/column structures and recommended font scales for distance readability.
- Typical packages supported:
beamerposter,tikzposter,baposter.
Style guides (beyond formatting)
- Venue writing conventions are documented under
references/(e.g., narrative breadth for Nature/Science vs. contribution-focused structure for ML conferences). - Examples under
assets/examples/illustrate venue-typical abstracts/introductions/structured sections.
- Venue writing conventions are documented under

What does Venue Templates need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Venue Templates needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Venue Templates access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Venue Templates safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Venue Templates use?
