What it does

Latex To Quarto is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Converts LaTeX article-class .tex documents to Quarto .qmd format for multi-format publishing (HTML, PDF, Word). Use when asked to convert, port, migrate, or translate a .tex LaTeX file to Quarto; when porting an academic paper or manuscript from LaTeX to Quarto; when a .tex document needs to render to HTML, Word, or Typst PDF. Covers preamble → YAML front matter, section headings, text formatting, math, citations (natbib/biblatex), cross-references, figures, tables, lists, footnotes, hyperlinks, and special…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `references/01-preamble-yaml.md`, `references/02-document-structure.md` and `references/03-text-formatting.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库,覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to convert
  • Translate a .tex LaTeX file to Quarto
  • Porting an academic paper
  • Manuscript from LaTeX to Quarto

Example prompts

  • “Use the latex-to-quarto skill to convert LaTeX article-class .tex documents to Quarto .qmd format for multi-format publishing (HTML, PDF, Word)”
  • “/latex-to-quarto”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Arguments
  2. Read the File
  3. Extract and Convert the Preamble
  4. Strip Document Wrapper
  5. Apply All Body Transformations
  6. Assemble the QMD File
  7. Write the Output File
  8. Report to the User

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Latex To Quarto loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 135 tokens; SKILL.md has 758 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~135
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 758 words (~2,276 tokens).

“Convert a full LaTeX .tex article to a Quarto .qmd document that renders correctly to HTML, PDF (Typst or LaTeX), and Word. This skill handles the entire conversion pipeline: preamble extraction, document structure, and all inline/block transformations.”
