SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a sandboxed workflow to transcribe handwritten images into LaTeX fragments without offering reasoning, ensuring clean, fragment-ready outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Transcription-only pipeline: converts handwritten content to standalone LaTeX fragments without commentary.
  • Sandbox isolation: runs in a Docker sandbox to prevent leakage of context or reasoning.
  • Use case: researchers digitize notes or equations into .tex files for inclusion in papers or notebooks.

Quick Start

Place handwritten images in the images/ directory and run the sandbox to generate corresponding .tex files in the output/ directory.
