latex-paper-en
English LaTeX assistant for existing .tex journal or conference papers. Use for compile repair, venue formatting, bibliography/citation checks, section writing, logic, related work, tables, pseudocode, de-AI polish, translation, adaptation, and submission readiness; use latex-thesis-zh for Chinese theses and paper-audit for critique.
What this skill does
# LaTeX Academic Paper Assistant (English) Use this skill for targeted work on an existing English LaTeX paper project. Keep the workflow low-friction: identify the right module, run the smallest useful check, and return actionable comments in LaTeX-friendly review format. ## Capability Summary - Compile and diagnose LaTeX build failures. - Audit formatting, bibliography, grammar, sentence length, argument logic, and figure quality. - Diagnose and rewrite-plan literature review sections around thematic synthesis, comparison, and gap derivation. - Plan or rewrite specific paper sections with paragraph roles, section outlines, claim-evidence maps, and reviewer-facing self-review. - Review IEEE-style pseudocode blocks, figure-wrapped algorithms, captions, labels, comments, and algorithm package choices. - Improve expression, translate academic prose, optimize titles, and reduce AI-writing traces. - Review experiment sections without rewriting citations, labels, or math. ## Triggering Use this skill when the user has an existing English `.tex` paper project and wants help with: - compiling or fixing build errors - format or venue compliance - bibliography and citation validation - grammar, sentence, logic, or expression review - literature review restructuring, related-work synthesis, or research-gap derivation - section-specific drafting, rewrite planning, paragraph-role design, or claim-evidence self-review for Abstract, Introduction, Related Work, Method, Experiments, or Conclusion - translation of academic prose - title optimization - figure or caption quality checks - pseudocode and algorithm-block review - de-AI editing of visible prose - experiment-section analysis ## Do Not Use Do not use this skill for: - planning or drafting a paper from scratch - deep literature research or fact-finding without a paper project - Chinese thesis-specific structure/template work - Typst-first paper workflows - DOCX/PDF conversion tasks that do not involve the LaTeX source - multi-perspective review, scoring, or submission gate decisions (use `paper-audit`) - standalone algorithm design from scratch without a paper project ## Module Router | Module | Use when | Primary command | Read next | | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `compile` | Build fails or the user wants a fresh compile | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/compile.py main.tex` | `references/modules/compile.md` | | `format` | User asks for LaTeX or venue formatting review | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/check_format.py main.tex` | `references/modules/format.md` (load `templates/<venue>.md` instead of the full `references/venues/catalog.md` when a venue is named) | | `bibliography` | Missing citations, unused entries, BibTeX validation | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/verify_bib.py references.bib --tex main.tex` | `references/modules/bibliography.md` | | `grammar` | Grammar and surface-level language fixes | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/analyze_grammar.py main.tex --section introduction` | `references/modules/grammar.md` | | `sentences` | Long, dense, or hard-to-read sentences | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/analyze_sentences.py main.tex --section introduction` | `references/modules/sentences.md` | | `logic` | Weak argument flow, unclear transitions, introduction funnel problems, or abstract/conclusion misalignment | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/analyze_logic.py main.tex --section methods` | `references/modules/logic.md` | | `literature` | Related Work is list-like, under-compared, or missing an evidence-backed research gap | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/analyze_literature.py main.tex --section related` | `references/modules/literature.md` | | `section-writing` | Draft, rewrite-plan, paragraph-role, flow, or claim-evidence work for a specific paper section | (LLM-driven workflow) | references/modules/section-writing.md | | `expression` | Academic tone polish without changing claims | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/improve_expression.py main.tex --section related` | `references/modules/expression.md` | | `translation` | Chinese-to-English academic translation or bilingual polishing | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/translate_academic.py input.txt --domain deep-learning` | `references/modules/translation.md` | | `title` | Generate, compare, or optimize paper titles | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/optimize_title.py main.tex --check` | `references/modules/title.md` | | `figures` | Figure existence, extension, DPI, or caption review | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/check_figures.py main.tex` | `references/review/reviewer-perspective.md` | | `pseudocode` | IEEE-safe pseudocode review, `algorithm2e` cleanup, caption/label/reference checks, and comment-length review | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/check_pseudocode.py main.tex --venue ieee` | `references/modules/pseudocode.md` | | `deai` | Reduce AI-writing traces while preserving LaTeX syntax | `uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/deai_check.py main.tex --section introduction` | `references/modules/deai.md` | | `experiment` | Inspect experiment design/write-up quality, discussion dept
