SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces the effort of manually reviewing and polishing a LaTeX paper by running an automated review, applying targeted fixes, and recompiling updated PDFs across two improvement rounds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Iterative Review → Fix → Recompile (2 rounds): Performs a structured critique and then implements prioritized edits to improve writing quality and presentation.
  • Crash recovery with state persistence: Saves progress to PAPER_IMPROVEMENT_STATE.json so the process can resume if interrupted within 24 hours.
  • LaTeX engine auto-detection and formatting checks: Chooses xelatex or pdflatex based on main.tex and runs basic overfull/underfull warning checks after recompilation.

Useful scenarios

  • Use when you want to polish a generated academic draft in LaTeX, especially after you already wrote and compiled the initial paper.
  • Ideal for iterative refinement when you repeatedly ask for “paper润色/改论文” and want consistent, full-paper improvements rather than one-off edits.

Quick Start

Ask the system to run auto-paper-improvement-loop on your paper directory so it can review, apply fixes, and produce main.pdf after two rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions about auto-paper-improvement-loop

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically improve and polish a LaTeX paper draft?

To automatically polish a LaTeX paper, this process runs an external reviewer on the full text, applies prioritized writing fixes, and recompiles the PDF across two iterative refinement rounds.

What's the best way to iteratively refine a compiled academic paper?

Iterative paper refinement is achieved by running a structured critique, implementing prioritized edits, and recompiling the updated PDF, maintaining review-thread continuity across two improvement rounds.

Can I resume LaTeX paper polishing if the process crashes midway?

Yes, LaTeX paper polishing can resume after a crash because progress is saved to a state file, allowing recovery and continuation of the iterative improvement loop within 24 hours.

Does the automated paper review tool support both xelatex and pdflatex engines?

The automated paper review supports both xelatex and pdflatex by auto-detecting the appropriate LaTeX engine from the main.tex file and running overfull or underfull warning checks after recompilation.

When do I need to run an automated paper improvement loop on my research draft?

You need an automated paper improvement loop after you have written and compiled an initial LaTeX draft and want consistent, full-paper writing and presentation enhancements rather than one-off manual edits.

What files are generated after running iterative LaTeX paper refinement?

Iterative LaTeX paper refinement generates the final compiled paper/main.pdf and a detailed paper/PAPER_IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md file documenting the applied writing and presentation fixes.
