SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

LaTeX manuscripts often drift from formal writing standards; this skill automates detection of style violations to help researchers produce clearer, publication-ready papers with less manual proofreading.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rule-based analysis: checks LaTeX text against the academic writing rules defined in .claude/rules/academic-writing.md.
  • Project-aware terminology: reads project terminology from CLAUDE.md to align language across the manuscript.
  • Comprehensive reporting: generates a structured report highlighting issues across 13 analysis categories, including citation verification and actionable suggestions.
  • Use Case: a researcher runs the check on a draft to surface passive voice, hedges, and formatting inconsistencies before submission.

Quick Start

Run the style-check on your LaTeX source to generate a structured report of style violations.

What is the best way to enforce consistent terminology in a LaTeX research paper?

The best way to enforce consistent terminology in a LaTeX research paper is to read project-specific terminology from CLAUDE.md and evaluate your manuscript text against those definitions, aligning language across the entire document.

Does LaTeX style checking work without configuring custom academic writing rules?

LaTeX style checking relies on the rules defined in the project's academic-writing.md file, so you need this configuration to evaluate text across the 13 analysis categories and generate meaningful style violation reports.

What types of writing issues does an academic LaTeX style checker detect?
