migrating-latex-templates

To migrate an NSFC LaTeX proposal, this skill analyzes the old project structure, infers section mappings to the new template, generates a migration plan, and applies changes in an isolated runs workspace with compile validation.

Structure mapping for LaTeX academic writing is the process of analyzing an old project's sections and inferring their corresponding placement in a newer template version, ensuring content and references are preserved during migration.

Yes, you need Python 3.8 or higher and a TeX distribution installed to automate LaTeX template migration, as the skill runs scripts to generate plans, apply changes, and validate compilation results.

Yes, you can override AI-assisted mapping during NSFC template migration, as the skill supports user overrides and includes a deterministic fallback mechanism to ensure safe structure mapping if AI inference is unavailable.

When upgrading NSFC LaTeX templates, the migration tool performs resource linking and copying, while conducting reference integrity checks to ensure no content or citations are lost during the structure transition.

If errors occur, the template migration is applied within a sandboxed runs directory to isolate failures, and the system performs compile validation while maintaining backups of the original project for safe recovery.
