At a glance
Sets up conference-specific LaTeX paper templates, checks a draft for formatting and submission issues, and auto-fixes common problems for venues like ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, AAAI and ACL.
- Setting up a new paper from a conference's LaTeX template
- SKILL.md covers Input, Scripts, References and Action: setup, plus 3 more sections
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python
- Checking a paper draft for submission issues before a deadline
What it does
The skill runs one of three actions on a paper: setup creates the project directory and a main.tex from a venue-specific template read from a reference file covering venue specs, packages and commands; check runs a Python script against a given venue that validates word count, required sections, leftover TODO markers, anonymization, mismatched environments and basic content statistics; fix runs that same check and then applies a cleanup script that replaces special or non-UTF8 characters with their LaTeX equivalents while skipping math environments, writing the result to a separate fixed file rather than overwriting the original.
It also covers general LaTeX problems such as unescaped special characters, math-mode errors, float placement and overfull or underfull boxes, and cross-reference issues. The skill names sibling skills it expects nearby: paper-writing-section and table-generation feed into it, citation-management validates references separately, and paper-compilation is the downstream step that builds the final PDF.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up a new paper from a conference's LaTeX template
- Checking a paper draft for submission issues before a deadline
- Fixing special-character or formatting problems in a LaTeX file
Example prompts
- “Set up a NeurIPS paper template for our new submission.”
- “Check paper/main.tex against the ICML format rules and anonymization requirements.”
- “Clean up the special characters in this LaTeX file without touching the math.”
Requirements
- Python
- A LaTeX distribution
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e6c085. 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 2 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
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
Academic LaTeX Formatter loads about 603 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 148 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 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 148 words (~603 tokens).
