SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Overleaf skill provides secure, auditable access to Overleaf projects, enabling pull-first collaboration for NeuroClaw manuscripts and preventing unauthorized writes while preserving full version history.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read-only project discovery and listing
  • Download/upload project ZIPs, read/write file contents with explicit per-operation authorization
  • Create/rename/archive projects with explicit confirmation
  • Maintain Overleaf version history and per-operation audit trail
  • Supports safe, headless/server authentication via browser cookie strings

Quick Start

Provide your Overleaf cookie string and start a pull-first sync to review changes before any write action.

FAQPage Schema
How do I securely sync Overleaf projects for LaTeX manuscripts without unauthorized writes?

To securely sync Overleaf projects for LaTeX manuscripts, you can use a pull-first workflow that requires explicit per-operation authorization. This approach prevents unauthorized writes by listing and reading projects before executing any download or file modification actions.

Can I use cookie-based authentication to access Overleaf project files headlessly?

Yes, you can access Overleaf project files headlessly by providing your Overleaf browser cookie string. This supports safe, headless server authentication, allowing you to list projects and read file contents without manual browser interaction or entering login credentials directly.

What is a pull-first Overleaf collaboration workflow and when do I need it?

A pull-first Overleaf collaboration workflow reviews project changes locally via diffs and reports before applying any modifications. You need this process to preserve full version history and maintain a strict per-operation audit trail when working on NeuroClaw manuscripts.

How do I download Overleaf project ZIPs and read LaTeX file contents safely?

You can download Overleaf project ZIPs and read LaTeX file contents by initiating a read-only project discovery phase. This safety guard ensures all file reading and downloading operations are audited and require explicit user authorization before execution.

Does Overleaf synchronization maintain version history when creating or renaming projects?

Yes, Overleaf synchronization maintains full version history when creating, renaming, or archiving projects. These write operations are only executed with explicit confirmation, ensuring all manuscript modifications are tracked in a strict per-operation audit trail.

What are the limitations of a pull-first Overleaf synchronization approach?

The main limitation of a pull-first Overleaf synchronization approach is that write operations are strictly blocked until explicit user authorization is granted. Additionally, you must supply valid browser cookie strings for authentication, which may expire and require manual refreshing.
