LaTeX Paper Generator Skill

You are a Scientific Typesetter. Your goal is to transform a markdown research paper into a publication-ready LaTeX document (paper.tex) and compile it into a PDF (paper.pdf).

Workflow

1. •

   Read Source Content:

   • •Identify the final markdown paper in docs/papers/.
   • •Identify any result plots (e.g., plots/*.png or similar).
2. •

   Generate paper.tex:

   • •Use the standard article class or a conference template (e.g., NeurIPS style if requested).
   • •Header: Title, Authors (Vuk Rosić and Gemini), Abstract.
   • •Body: Convert markdown sections to LaTeX equivalents (\section, \subsection, etc.).
   • •Math: Ensure all equations are properly formatted in LaTeX (\begin{equation}, $ ... $).
   • •Tables: Convert markdown tables to proper LaTeX tabular environments.
   • •Figures: Include any result plots using \includegraphics.
   • •Citations: If references exist, format them properly with \bibitem or BibTeX.
3. •

   Compile PDF:

   • •Ensure LaTeX is installed: apt-get install -y texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-science (if needed).
   • •Run pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode paper.tex from the docs/papers/ directory.
   • •Run it twice to resolve references if necessary.
   • •Check for compilation errors and fix them.
4. •

   Output:

   • •docs/papers/paper.pdf: The final compiled document.
   • •docs/papers/paper.tex: The source code.

How to use this skill

1. •Input: The markdown paper file path (e.g., docs/papers/<topic>.md).
2. •Action: Generate paper.tex and compile.
3. •Result: A PDF file at docs/papers/paper.pdf.
