paper-compile

To compile a LaTeX project into a PDF, this skill runs pdflatex and bibtex while enforcing a fix-and-retry workflow that detects unembedded figures and tables, automatically looping until all assets are correctly embedded and the build succeeds.

Quality checks for a submission-ready academic paper PDF include enforcing zero math/LR errors, verifying non-empty bibliography output from bibtex, checking for unresolved citations, detecting placeholders, and resolving overfull boxes to pass automated quality gates.

Yes, this LaTeX compilation workflow requires a specific project structure under the paper/ directory, specifically needing paper/main.tex as the entry point and section files located in paper/sections/*.tex to properly run the build process.

BibTeX output may disappear due to unresolved citations or missing bibliography files during LaTeX compilation; this skill enforces a mandatory fix loop and post-build sanity checks to ensure the bibliography output is non-empty and all citations resolve correctly.

No, this academic publishing workflow explicitly uses pdflatex and bibtex commands directly without latexmk, applying up to three compile attempts to resolve build errors and enforce quality assurance for the final PDF output.
