SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pylatexenc>=2.10.

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of turning a raw research outline into a correctly structured, compilable LaTeX manuscript with proper citations, figures, tables, and a submission-ready arXiv package.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IMRaD-ready manuscript structure: Sets up a complete research paper layout (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion) with common review-friendly sections.
  • Bibliography management: Uses biblatex with biber, supports common citation styles (e.g., Nature/APA/IEEE-like options), and includes a ready-to-use bibliography file entry call.
  • Submission workflow support: Provides guidance for compiling, preparing an arXiv-ready tarball, and flattening/stripping includes and comments to avoid common submission issues.
  • Common LaTeX error fixes: Includes a practical lookup table for frequent compilation and citation problems.

Quick Start

Use the latex-workflow skill to generate a complete IMRaD LaTeX paper skeleton (with bibliography and figures/tables stubs) you can compile and submit to arXiv.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a LaTeX research manuscript for arXiv submission?

To structure a LaTeX manuscript for arXiv submission, you need an IMRaD layout with proper citations, figures, and tables. This workflow generates a complete paper skeleton and packages the source files into a submission-ready tarball.

What is the best way to set up biblatex with biber for academic writing?

Setting up biblatex with biber for academic writing requires defining the bibliography resource and selecting a citation style like Nature, APA, or IEEE. This workflow configures the package-driven setup and provides the necessary biber build steps.

How do I package LaTeX source files into an arXiv-ready tarball?

Packaging LaTeX source files into an arXiv-ready tarball involves flattening includes, stripping comments, and bundling the document structure. This workflow provides guidance to compile and prepare your manuscript to avoid common submission issues.

Why does my LaTeX compilation fail when adding figures and tables?

LaTeX compilation often fails with figures and tables due to package conflicts or syntax errors. This workflow includes package-driven formatting stubs and a practical lookup table to diagnose and fix frequent compilation problems.

Do I need pylatexenc to format academic writing documents?

Yes, you need the pylatexenc dependency to support the underlying document processing logic for this academic writing workflow. It ensures reliable parsing and compilation of your LaTeX manuscript structure.
