SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gpt-5.5, latexmk, python3, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of improving academic papers by automating the review and iterative recompilation cycle, significantly reducing manual effort and potential inconsistencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Paper Review: Uses a specified model to review and provide feedback on a paper's content, structure, and quality.
  • Iterative Refinement: The Skill iteratively applies the feedback to the paper, recompiles it, and reviews again until improvements are deemed satisfactory.
  • Customization: Allows users to specify paths and operations that can be modified, providing a level of control over the editing process.

Quick Start

Run the skill to automatically improve the paper located in 'paper/'.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate academic paper improvement through iterative review?

Automating academic paper improvement involves using an AI model to review content, apply modifications, and recompile the document iteratively. This skill handles text-only editing and optional edit whitelists to refine research papers until quality goals are met.

How does iterative LaTeX processing work for research paper refinement?

Iterative LaTeX processing works by running an AI-driven review on your paper, applying text edits, and recompiling the LaTeX document automatically. The cycle repeats with independent reviews for each iteration to ensure continuous, structured refinement.

Do I need Python3 and latexmk to run AI-driven text editing automation?

Yes, you need Python3 and latexmk installed to run this AI-driven text editing automation. Python3 executes the automation scripts while latexmk handles the iterative LaTeX recompilation required for generating updated paper PDFs.

Can I restrict AI-driven refinement to specific sections of my document?

Yes, you can restrict AI-driven refinement by specifying an edit whitelist. This allows you to define exact paths and operations that can be modified, providing control over which sections the automated text editing can alter.

What is the best way to review and recompile a research paper multiple times?

The best way to review and recompile a research paper multiple times is using an automated improvement loop. This approach leverages a specified AI model for structured feedback and handles repetitive recompilation without manual intervention.

Are there limitations to automated text editing for LaTeX academic papers?

A key limitation of automated text editing for LaTeX academic papers is that it handles text-only modifications. It does not alter graphical assets or complex formatting outside the specified edit whitelist during the iterative refinement process.
