SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps writers manage LaTeX documents, enforce revision discipline, and safely push updates to Overleaf while maintaining separate day-to-day drafts and submission repos.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-topic drafting and compilation targeting: drafts/kang/* and related folders, with a single source of truth for day-to-day work.
  • Safe publishing workflow: prevents accidental updates to the NeurIPS submission repo unless explicitly requested, with automated conflict handling and push/rebase recovery.
  • Collaborative editing and governance: enforces a clear review cascade and traceable edits across topics.

Quick Start

Edit a topic file under drafts/kang/ and push changes using the Overleaf workflow described in the guide.

FAQPage Schema
How do I push local LaTeX drafts to Overleaf using git?▼

Push local LaTeX drafts to Overleaf using an automated git sync and rebase workflow. The process handles race-condition recovery and enforces a controlled per-topic draft workflow to ensure traceable, auditable edits.

What is the best way to manage separate day-to-day LaTeX drafts and a NeurIPS submission repo?▼

Manage separate LaTeX drafts and a NeurIPS submission repo by targeting per-topic draft folders like drafts/kang/* for daily work. The process explicitly protects the submission repo from accidental updates unless explicitly requested.

Can I enforce revision discipline and traceable edits for collaborative LaTeX writing?▼

Enforce revision discipline in collaborative LaTeX writing through a five-level time-decay cascade. This governance mechanism ensures edits remain traceable and auditable across all topics during per-topic drafting.

How do you handle git race conditions when syncing LaTeX files to Overleaf?▼

Handle git race conditions when syncing LaTeX files to Overleaf through built-in automated conflict handling and push/rebase recovery. This ensures local updates safely synchronize without overwriting remote collaborative changes.

Does pushing updates to Overleaf accidentally modify my active paper submission repository?▼

Pushing updates to Overleaf will not modify your active paper submission repository. The workflow features explicit protection for the NeurIPS submission repo, preventing accidental updates unless you explicitly request a publish.
