SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Compiling LaTeX academic papers for conference or journal submission is error-prone, with cryptic build failures, strict venue-specific page limits, and formatting rules that are easy to miss. This skill eliminates manual debugging and compliance checking, saving researchers hours of pre-submission work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated LaTeX Compilation: Uses latexmk to handle multi-pass builds (pdflatex, BibTeX, etc.) automatically, with support for xelatex and lualatex for CJK or custom font needs.
  • Intelligent Error Remediation: Auto-detects and fixes common LaTeX issues including missing packages, undefined references, missing figures, BibTeX syntax errors, and overfull hbox warnings.
  • Submission Compliance Validation: Verifies page limits (with separate rules for ML conferences and IEEE venues), font embedding, anonymity, and absence of undefined references/citations to ensure papers meet submission requirements.
  • Use Case: A researcher submitting to NeurIPS 2025 can use this skill to compile their paper, auto-fix missing citation errors, and confirm the main body fits the 9-page limit before uploading to OpenReview.

Quick Start

Use the paper-compile skill to compile the LaTeX paper in the ./paper directory into a submission-ready PDF that meets your target venue's formatting and page limit requirements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compile a LaTeX research paper into a submission-ready PDF?

To compile a LaTeX research paper into a submission-ready PDF, use automated end-to-end compilation that handles multi-pass builds, applies formatting compliance checks, and validates page limits for target venues.

How do I fix common LaTeX build errors like missing packages or undefined references?

Fixing common LaTeX build errors involves intelligent error remediation that auto-detects and resolves missing packages, undefined references, missing figures, and BibTeX syntax errors during the compilation process.

How do I validate my paper for conference submission page limits and formatting compliance?

Validating conference submission compliance checks your compiled PDF against strict venue-specific page limits, font embedding rules, anonymity requirements, and absence of undefined citations to ensure formatting compliance.

Does LaTeX compilation support xelatex and lualatex for CJK or custom font requirements?

Yes, LaTeX compilation supports xelatex and lualatex engines to handle CJK text and custom font requirements, ensuring proper character rendering and font embedding in the final PDF output.

Why does my academic paper compilation fail with overfull hbox warnings and BibTeX syntax errors?

Academic paper compilation fails with overfull hbox warnings and BibTeX syntax errors due to formatting misalignments and citation formatting issues, which automated error remediation can detect and fix.
