SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python, pdflatex, latexmk, bibtex, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Preparing an academic submission is slow and error-prone because each venue (journals, conferences, posters, grants) has specific formatting requirements, template files, and style conventions that must be followed to avoid rejection or rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Venue-specific LaTeX templates & requirements: Provides templates and detailed formatting guidance for major journals, conferences, research posters, and common grant agencies.
  • Writing style guidance by venue: Offers discipline-aware style conventions (e.g., Nature/Science accessibility, Cell mechanistic depth, medical structured abstracts, ML conference contribution bullets).
  • Customization and compliance workflow: Includes helper scripts for discovering templates, customizing them with your title/authors/affiliations, and validating key formatting constraints.
  • Use case: You target NeurIPS and need an 8-page, two-column, double-blind-compliant paper template plus guidance on anonymization and formatting details; use this skill to retrieve the right template, apply required style conventions, and validate layout before submission.

Quick Start

Use the venue-templates skill to prepare a NeurIPS submission by loading NeurIPS-specific formatting requirements and selecting the appropriate LaTeX template for your paper draft.
