About this skill

Inno Rclone To Overleaf is a skill in LigphiDonk/Oh-my--paper (739 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, with 2 other files in the folder (scripts). Licence: MIT.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Log into Overleaf in Chrome or Firefox (visit overleaf.com and sign in)
  2. Grant keychain access on first run (macOS will prompt for "Always Allow")

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6baece9. 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/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pipx

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • overleaf.com

    Also links to:

    • github.com

    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

Inno Rclone To Overleaf loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 594 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

inno-rclone-to-overleaf

Canonical Summary

Access Overleaf projects via CLI. Use for reading/writing LaTeX files, syncing local .tex files to Overleaf, downloading projects, and managing Overleaf project structure. Triggers on Overleaf, LaTeX sync, or tex file uploads to Overleaf.

Trigger Rules

Use this skill when the user request matches its research workflow scope. Prefer the bundled resources instead of recreating templates or reference material. Keep outputs traceable to project files, citations, scripts, or upstream evidence.

Resource Use Rules

  • Treat scripts/ as optional helpers. Run them only when their dependencies are available, keep outputs in the project workspace, and explain a manual fallback if execution is blocked.

Execution Contract

  • Resolve every relative path from this skill directory first.
  • Prefer inspection before mutation when invoking bundled scripts.
  • If a required runtime, CLI, credential, or API is unavailable, explain the blocker and continue with the best manual fallback instead of silently skipping the step.
  • Do not write generated artifacts back into the skill directory; save them inside the active project workspace.

Upstream Instructions

Overleaf

CLI tool to interact with Overleaf projects using browser cookies for authentication.

GitHub: https://github.com/jkulhanek/pyoverleaf

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • pyoverleaf (pipx install pyoverleaf)
  • User logged into Overleaf in Chrome/Firefox

Security Considerations

⚠️ Keychain Access Required: pyoverleaf needs "Always Allow" keychain access to read browser cookies. This grants the tool access to your browser's cookie storage.

Security audit: We have audited pyoverleaf v0.1.7 and found it safe. The codebase is small and readable. Before installing, agents can self-audit the latest version at the GitHub repo above.

Authentication Setup

pyoverleaf authenticates by reading cookies from your browser. The user must:

  1. Log into Overleaf in Chrome or Firefox (visit overleaf.com and sign in)
  2. Grant keychain access on first run (macOS will prompt for "Always Allow")
bash
# Test auth - user should run this in their terminal first
pyoverleaf ls

If you get auth errors:

  • Ask user: "Are you logged into Overleaf in your browser?"
  • If on macOS: "Did you approve the keychain access prompt with 'Always Allow'?"
  • User may need to run pyoverleaf ls manually in terminal to trigger the keychain prompt

Note: The agent cannot log in for the user. Browser authentication must be done by the user directly.

CLI Commands

bash
# List all projects
pyoverleaf ls

# List files in project
pyoverleaf ls "Project Name"

# Read file content
pyoverleaf read "Project Name/main.tex"

# Write file (stdin → Overleaf)
cat local.tex | pyoverleaf write "Project Name/main.tex"

# Create directory
pyoverleaf mkdir "Project Name/figures"

# Remove file/folder
pyoverleaf rm "Project Name/old-draft.tex"

# Download project as zip
pyoverleaf download-project "Project Name" output.zip

Common Workflows

Download from Overleaf
bash
pyoverleaf download-project "Project Name" /tmp/latest.zip
unzip -o /tmp/latest.zip -d /tmp/latest
cp /tmp/latest/main.tex /path/to/local/main.tex
Show full SKILL.md (243 more words)Show less

The CLI write command has websocket issues. Use Python API for reliable uploads:

python
import pyoverleaf

api = pyoverleaf.Api()
api.login_from_browser()

# List projects to get project ID
for proj in api.get_projects():
    print(proj.name, proj.id)

# Upload file (direct overwrite)
project_id = "your_project_id_here"
with open('main.tex', 'rb') as f:
    content = f.read()
root = api.project_get_files(project_id)
api.project_upload_file(project_id, root.id, "main.tex", content)

Why direct overwrite? This method preserves Overleaf's version history. Users can see exactly what changed via Overleaf's History feature, making it easy to review agent edits and revert if needed.

Self-hosted Overleaf

bash
# Via env var
export PYOVERLEAF_HOST=overleaf.mycompany.com
pyoverleaf ls

# Via flag
pyoverleaf --host overleaf.mycompany.com ls

Eason's Workflow Requirements

When pulling from Overleaf:

  1. Download Overleaf version to /tmp/
  2. Compare with local version using diff
  3. Report differences to Eason (summarize what changed)
  4. Ask: merge? overwrite local? overwrite Overleaf? or other?
  5. Only proceed after Eason confirms

Push rules (from TOOLS.md):

  • ❌ 禁止自行推送到 Overleaf
  • ✅ 只能從 Overleaf 拉到 local
  • ⚠️ 推送需要 Eason 明確授權,每次授權只能推一次

Example

Here's an example of using the Overleaf skill to remove em dashes (a common AI writing artifact) from a paper and push the changes:

Image: Example: Remove em dashes and push to Overleaf

Troubleshooting

  • Auth error / websocket error: Open Overleaf in Chrome browser first (open -a "Google Chrome" "https://www.overleaf.com/project" then wait 5s) to refresh cookies, then retry
  • "scheme https is invalid" (websocket redirect bug): The default host overleaf.com causes a 301→www.overleaf.com redirect that breaks websocket. Fix: set PYOVERLEAF_HOST=www.overleaf.com:
    bash
    cat main.tex | PYOVERLEAF_HOST=www.overleaf.com pyoverleaf write "Project/main.tex"
  • Keychain Access Denied (macOS): pyoverleaf needs keychain access to read browser cookies. User must run pyoverleaf ls in their terminal and click "Always Allow" on the keychain prompt
  • Project not found: Use exact project name (case-sensitive), check with pyoverleaf ls
  • Permission denied: User may not have edit access to the project
