SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Preparing manuscripts for academic submission requires tracking venue-specific page limits, citation styles, anonymization rules, and LaTeX templates, which are scattered across dozens of author guideline pages and easy to get wrong. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Venue Templates: Ready-to-use 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 References: Detailed requirements covering page limits, fonts, margins, citation styles, and double-blind anonymization rules per venue. - Writing Style Guides: Venue-specific guidance on tone, abstract structure, and reviewer expectations, plus helper scripts to query, customize, and validate templates. - Use Case: When preparing a NeurIPS submission, retrieve the official-style template, confirm the 8-page limit and anonymization rules, customize it with author details, and validate the compiled PDF against venue requirements. ## 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 or ICML submission?

NeurIPS and ICML papers use a two-column 10pt Times format with an 8-page limit excluding references, and require double-blind anonymization. Load the conference formatting reference and use the corresponding LaTeX template from the assets directory.

What LaTeX templates are available for journal submission?

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

How do I customize a LaTeX template with my author information?

Run customize_template.py with the template name, title, authors, affiliations, and output file, or use its interactive mode. The script replaces placeholder text in the template and writes a customized .tex file.

What are the page limits for NSF and NIH grant proposals?

NSF proposals allow 15 pages for the Project Description plus a 1-page Project Summary. NIH R01 proposals allow 12 pages for the Research Strategy plus a critical 1-page Specific Aims section.

How do I check if my paper meets venue formatting requirements?

Use validate_format.py with your compiled PDF and target venue to check page count, margins, and fonts. The script can generate a validation report listing any compliance issues.

Does this skill cover double-blind anonymization rules?

Yes, the conference formatting reference documents anonymization requirements for venues like NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, and CHI, including how to handle self-citations, acknowledgments, and anonymous code repositories.
