SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Preparing manuscripts for journals, conferences, posters, or grant proposals requires tracking venue-specific formatting rules, page limits, citation styles, and writing conventions, which is time-consuming and error-prone when done manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Venue Templates: Access LaTeX templates for 50+ journals (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). - Formatting Requirements: Look up page limits, fonts, margins, citation styles, and anonymization rules for each venue. - Writing Style Guides: Apply venue-specific writing conventions, from Nature's accessible narrative style to Cell Press's mechanistic depth and structured medical abstracts. - Use Case: When submitting a paper to NeurIPS, retrieve the official template, verify the 8-page limit and double-blind anonymization rules, customize it with author information, and validate the compiled PDF for compliance. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to prepare a manuscript for a specific venue such as Nature or NeurIPS and it will load the matching template and formatting requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about venue-templates

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I format a paper for NeurIPS submission?

NeurIPS papers use a two-column layout with an 8-page limit excluding references, 10pt Times font, and mandatory double-blind anonymization. Load the NeurIPS template from the assets directory and check conferences_formatting.md for the full requirements before customizing.

What LaTeX templates are available for journal submissions?

Templates cover Nature, Science, PLOS, Cell Press, IEEE, ACM, Springer, Elsevier, and more, stored in the assets/journals directory. Use the query_template.py script to search by venue name or keyword and retrieve the matching template.

How do I write an NSF grant proposal?

NSF proposals require a 1-page Project Summary, a 15-page Project Description, and sections addressing Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts. The grants_requirements.md reference details all page limits, and the NSF template in assets/grants provides the starting structure.

Does the skill support double-blind conference submissions?

Yes, the conference formatting reference documents anonymization requirements for venues like NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, and CHI. It explains how to remove author identities, anonymize self-citations, and handle supplementary materials for blind review.

How do I validate my paper meets venue formatting requirements?

Run the validate_format.py script with your compiled PDF and target venue name to check page count, margins, fonts, and reference formatting. It can generate a validation report listing any compliance issues before submission.

What citation style should I use for Nature versus IEEE?

Nature uses numbered superscript citations, while IEEE uses numbered citations in square brackets. The SKILL.md formatting tables and journals_formatting.md reference list the citation style for each supported venue.
