  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ieee Latex is an agent skill from CloudWave818/ieee-skills. Diagnose, fix, and improve IEEEtran LaTeX manuscripts using routed template, layout, float, equation, algorithm, table, bibliography, and PDF-compliance guidance. Use when fixing IEEE LaTeX compile errors, overfull boxes, float placement, two-column layout, figure sizing, tables, equations, algorithms, BibTeX, citation commands, template compliance, or final submission PDF checks.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 47 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `manifest.yaml` and `static/core/output-format.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Citation management. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: 面向 IEEE 风格论文写作、润色、审稿、实验、图表、LaTeX、引用和论文阅读的 Codex skills。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Fixing IEEE LaTeX compile errors
  • Float placement
  • Two-column layout
  • Citation commands

Example prompts

  • “/ieee-latex”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read manifest.yaml.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load.
  3. Detect the axes
  4. State the detected axes when useful.
  5. Load only the matching fragments.
  6. Inspect source, log, and rendered output when available. Do not judge final layout from .tex alone when a PDF can be rendered or inspected.
  7. Apply the smallest IEEE-compatible fix.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee30fda. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Ieee Latex loads about 541 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 187 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~541

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.

IEEE LaTeX Router

Use this skill to fix IEEE LaTeX issues while preserving manuscript content and target-template compliance.

Do not make broad package or template changes unless necessary. Follow the routing protocol and load the selected fragments.

Routing Protocol

  1. Read manifest.yaml.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load.
  3. Detect the axes:
    • task_type: compile-debug / layout-fix / float-placement / table-formatting / equation-formatting / algorithm-formatting / bibliography / pdf-check.
    • venue_type: transaction / journal / letter / conference / magazine / generic.
    • object_type: figure / table / equation / algorithm / reference / class-file / whole-manuscript.
    • failure_mode: overfull-hbox / float-too-large / figure-at-end / broken-citation / duplicate-label / package-conflict / unreadable-table / sparse-page.
    • stage: drafting / pre-submission / revision / final-production.
  4. State the detected axes when useful.
  5. Load only the matching fragments.
  6. Inspect source, log, and rendered output when available. Do not judge final layout from .tex alone when a PDF can be rendered or inspected.
  7. Apply the smallest IEEE-compatible fix.

Output Contract

text
Diagnosis:
- Cause:
- Affected object:

Fix:
[minimal LaTeX change or instructions]

Why this works:
[short explanation]

Follow-up checks:
- [compile/render/check PDF]

For direct code edits, preserve author content and change only the necessary LaTeX structure.

Red Lines

Do not switch away from the target IEEE template for convenience.

Do not break IEEE bibliography style for cosmetic citation output.

Do not use screenshots for plots when vector or high-resolution exports are possible.
