venue-templatesPrepare journal manuscripts, conference papers, research posters, and grant documents using venue-specific formatting guidance and bundled LaTeX scaffolds.
Venue Templates is an agent skill from K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer. Prepare journal manuscripts, conference papers, research posters, and grant documents using venue-specific formatting guidance and bundled LaTeX scaffolds. Use when selecting an official template, checking current page or anonymity rules, adapting academic writing to a venue, or inspecting a submission PDF.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 37 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/examples/cell_summary_example.md`, `assets/examples/medical_structured_abstract.md` and `assets/examples/nature_abstract_examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires Python 3.11+ for helper scripts; LaTeX and Poppler command-line tools are optional for compilation and PDF inspection.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Scientific writing, Project scaffolding and LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: A general purpose scientific writer. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 529b9f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
icml.ccnsf.govAlso links to:
arxiv.orgdoi.orgexport.arxiv.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Requires Python 3.11+ for helper scripts; LaTeX and Poppler command-line tools are optional for compilation and PDF inspection.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Venue Templates loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~41k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,239 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.
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 requirements are time-sensitive. Before giving exact page limits, deadlines, style-file names, anonymity rules, or required sections:
Never infer a current style-file name by changing the year in an old filename. Never present a generic scaffold as an official venue template.

Anonymity: required
Official template: ICML 2026 style package linked by the author instructionsThis makes later validation reproducible.
For annual conferences and publisher-managed workflows:
For grants, many components are entered or uploaded separately. Do not submit a combined bundled .tex file as if it were an agency-issued form.
Verify at least:
The helper can inspect page totals and embedded fonts, but it cannot prove that margins, font sizes, excluded sections, or hidden metadata comply.
The repository intentionally bundles only the following templates. Other venues listed in references require an official external template.
| File | Status |
|---|---|
assets/journals/nature_article.tex | Generic Nature-oriented writing scaffold; not an official Nature template |
assets/journals/plos_one.tex | PLOS ONE-oriented scaffold; compare with the current official PLOS LaTeX package |
assets/journals/neurips_article.tex | NeurIPS 2026 wrapper; requires the official neurips_2026.sty |
assets/journals/elsarticle-template-num.tex | Elsevier elsarticle numeric example |
assets/journals/elsarticle-template-num-names.tex | Elsevier elsarticle numbered/name example |
assets/journals/elsarticle-template-harv.tex | Elsevier elsarticle author-year example |
The matching Elsevier .bst files are in assets/journals/.
| File | Status |
|---|---|
assets/grants/nsf_proposal_template.tex | Planning scaffold for common NSF narrative components; upload components separately |

--authors "First Author, Second Author" \
--affiliations "Institution Name" \
--output my_paper.texReview every replacement and compile before adding substantial content. User-provided text may need LaTeX escaping.
Use a verified preset:
python scripts/validate_format.py \
--file paper.pdf \
--venue icml-2026 \
--content-pages 8 \
--check page-count,fontsOr provide an explicit limit and source:

--max-pages 15 \
--content-pages 15 \
--source-url "https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg" \
--check page-count,fonts \
--report validation.txt--content-pages must be counted according to the official rule. The script does not infer where references or appendices begin.

Prepare journal manuscripts, conference papers, research posters, and grant documents using venue-specific formatting guidance and bundled LaTeX scaffolds. Venue Templates is an agent skill from K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer. Prepare journal manuscripts, conference papers, research posters, and grant documents using venue-specific formatting guidance and bundled LaTeX scaffolds.
Venue Templates fits situations like: selecting an official template; checking current page; anonymity rules; adapting academic writing to a venue.
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer --skill venue-templates -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/venue-templates in K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer) into .claude/skills/venue-templates in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer --skill venue-templates -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/venue-templates in K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer) into .agents/skills/venue-templates in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer --skill venue-templates -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/venue-templates, .gemini/skills/venue-templates, .github/skills/venue-templates and .opencode/skills/venue-templates in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Venue Templates needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Python 3.11+ for helper scripts; LaTeX and Poppler command-line tools are optional for compilation and PDF inspection..
SKILL.md names 5 domains. In commands or code: icml.cc and nsf.gov; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: arxiv.org, doi.org and export.arxiv.org. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
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.
Venue Templates is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 38k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Venue Templates: LaTeX Conference Template Organizer (Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar, 5.7k stars), Research Writing (alfonso0512/research-writing-skill, 490 stars), Paper Writing (MLNLP-World/Paper-Writing-Tips, 4.7k stars) and Paperjury (Spark-To-Paper-Skills/paperjury, 1.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
