At a glance
Supplies venue-specific LaTeX templates and formatting rules for journals, conferences and posters, and checks a manuscript against page limits and submission requirements.
- Works in 9 steps: Journal Article Templates → Conference Paper Templates → Research Poster Templates → …
- Preparing a manuscript for submission to a named journal
- SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use This Skill, Boundary and Core Capabilities, plus 5 more sections
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python
What it does
The skill covers the formatting side of academic submission. It holds LaTeX templates and guidelines for more than 50 journals, including Nature, Science, PLOS, Cell Press, IEEE and ACM titles, and for conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML and CHI, plus a Beamer poster template. Shipped assets include nature_article.tex, neurips_article.tex, plos_one.tex and beamerposter_academic.tex, and reference files cover conferences, grants, journals and posters.
Three Python scripts do the work: query_template.py to find a template, customize_template.py to fill in author and project details, and validate_format.py to verify compliance. Its boundary is narrow: it does not produce figures, write manuscript prose, manage bibliographies, prepare rebuttals or draft grants. It is meant for page limits, anonymity rules and camera-ready formatting.
When your agent uses it
- Preparing a manuscript for submission to a named journal
- Formatting a conference paper to the venue's style file and page limit
- Making a research poster from a Beamer template
- Checking anonymity and camera-ready requirements before submitting
Example prompts
- “Set up my paper in the NeurIPS template and check it against the page limit.”
- “Give me the Nature article template filled in with our author list.”
- “Verify that my PLOS ONE manuscript follows the journal's formatting rules.”
Requirements
- A LaTeX distribution to compile the templates
- Python for the bundled scripts
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ddcaa2a. 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:
ReadWriteEditBash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
nature.comscience.orgplos.orgcell.comneurips.ccicml.cccvpr.thecvf.comnsf.govgrants.nih.govscience.osti.gov
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
Academic Venue Templates loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~23k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,224 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.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash
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.

- "What are the requirements for NeurIPS 2025?"
- "Show me NSF proposal formatting"
- "I'm creating a poster for ISMB"Step 2: Query Template and Requirements
Access venue-specific templates and formatting guidelines:
For Journals:
# Load journal formatting requirements
Reference: references/journals_formatting.md
Search for: "Nature" or specific journal name
# Retrieve template
Template: assets/journals/nature_article.texFor Conferences:
# Load conference formatting
Reference: references/conferences_formatting.md
Search for: "NeurIPS" or specific conference
# Retrieve template
Template: assets/journals/neurips_article.texFor Posters:
# Load poster guidelines
Reference: references/posters_guidelines.md
# Retrieve template
Template: assets/posters/beamerposter_academic.texFor Grants:
# Load grant requirements
Reference: references/grants_requirements.md
Search for: "NSF" or specific agency
# Retrieve template
Template: assets/grants/nsf_proposal_template.texStep 3: Review Formatting Requirements
Check critical specifications before customizing:
Key Requirements to Verify:

--affiliations "University Name" \
--output my_nature_paper.texOption 2: Manual Editing:
- Open template file
- Replace placeholder text (marked with comments)
- Fill in title, authors, affiliations, abstract
- Add your content to each section
Step 5: Validate Format
Check compliance with venue requirements:
python scripts/validate_format.py \
--file my_paper.pdf \
--venue "Nature" \
--check-allValidation Checks:
- Page count within limits
- Font sizes correct
- Margins meet specifications
- References formatted correctly
- Figures meet resolution requirements
Step 6: Compile and Review
Compile LaTeX and review output:
# Compile LaTeX
pdflatex my_paper.tex
bibtex my_paper
pdflatex my_paper.tex
pdflatex my_paper.tex
# Or use latexmk for automated compilation
latexmk -pdf my_paper.texReview checklist:
- All sections present and properly formatted
- Citations render correctly
- Figures appear with proper captions
- Page count within limits
- Author guidelines followed
- Supplementary materials prepared (if needed)
