Overflow Repair Skill

What problem does it solve?

It resolves LaTeX layout defects where content exceeds the allowed width, causing overfull hboxes in paragraphs, tables, long formulas, or URLs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Overfull hbox repair routing: Selects the appropriate fix strategy for D1 (paragraph/table/formula overflows), D2 (long formulas needing line breaks), and D3 (URL/identifier overflows) based on defect IDs from diagnostic agents.
• Minimal, deterministic source edits: Applies the smallest safe .tex changes to improve line breaking or table layout while preserving academic meaning.
• Recompile-validated outcomes: Uses the compile log to verify that the targeted Overfull \hbox issues are eliminated or significantly reduced after each attempted strategy.

Use case: After template migration or content updates, your paper compiles but shows overfull lines in the final PDF; use this skill to pinpoint and repair the exact overflow sites (e.g., a specific table cell or a too-long URL in references).

Quick Start

Use the orchestrator to run the overflow-repair workflow for the detected defect IDs D1, D2, and D3, feeding it the main .tex path, rule-engine report details, layout-detective confirmation, and the current .log.
