What problem does it solve? Setting up LaTeX support often risks conflicting with existing TeX Live or MacTeX installations, or requires invasive system changes with sudo. This Skill first detects any existing TeX installation and only installs a separate, Codex-managed TeX Live runtime when none is found or when explicitly requested. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Detect-Only Default: Runs a detection pass that exits without changes when an existing TeX Live or MacTeX installation is found. - Managed Full Install: Installs a complete TeX Live runtime under ~/.cache/codex-runtimes/codex-texlive/full without sudo, without touching /Library/TeX or /usr/local/texlive, and without modifying shell startup files. - Force Mode: Supports a --force-managed flag for cases where an existing TeX installation is partial or broken but the user still wants a separate managed runtime. - Use Case: A user needs LaTeX compilation support for document generation. Run the detection script first; if no TeX is found and the user confirms, install the managed runtime without affecting the system. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check whether TeX Live is already installed on this machine and, only after your confirmation, install the managed full TeX Live runtime.
