SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns your paper content into a compile-ready LaTeX project, especially when you need to follow a specific school or journal template, reducing formatting mistakes and manual re-structuring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-based LaTeX generation: Uses a provided template class/style and parses its structure expectations to produce a correct main.tex and chapter files.
  • Structured manuscript output: Creates LaTeX sections (chapter/section hierarchy), plus common academic elements like abstract, keywords, figures, tables, and equations when present in the content plan.
  • BibTeX reference preparation: Generates references.bib and configures bibliographystyle/bibliography entries to match the workflow.

Use Case Example: You have a draft paper and a journal’s LaTeX template, and you want the assistant to output a complete LaTeX project (main.tex, chapters/*.tex, and references.bib) that matches the template’s document class and formatting conventions.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to generate LaTeX output for your paper using your provided journal or school template, and include the template files in latex-templates/.

How to create separate chapter .tex files from a single draft paper for LaTeX compilation?

Creating separate chapter .tex files from a draft paper requires mapping manuscript sections into a structured LaTeX project. This Skill breaks down your content plan into a main.tex file alongside individual chapter .tex files for compile readiness.

Does this LaTeX generation process handle academic elements like figures, tables, and equations?

Yes, the LaTeX generation process handles academic elements like figures, tables, and equations. When these elements are present in your content plan, the Skill incorporates them into the appropriate LaTeX environments within the generated document structure.

What do I need to provide to generate a compile-ready LaTeX project from my manuscript?

To generate a compile-ready LaTeX project, you need to provide your research manuscript content and include your school or journal template files in a latex-templates directory so the Skill can parse the document class and structure expectations correctly.
