Scripts

Pre-submission format checker

python ~/.claude/skills/latex-formatting/scripts/latex_checker.py paper/main.tex --venue neurips --check-anon

Checks: word count, required sections, TODO markers, anonymization, mismatched environments, content stats.

Validate citations and references

python ~/.claude/skills/citation-management/scripts/validate_citations.py \
  --tex paper/main.tex --bib paper/references.bib --check-figures

Clean LaTeX text (fix special characters)

python ~/.claude/skills/latex-formatting/scripts/clean_latex.py \
  --input paper/main.tex --output paper/main_cleaned.tex

Replaces special/non-UTF8 characters with LaTeX equivalents, skips math environments. Key flags: --dry-run, --tables-only

Auto-fix after checking

python ~/.claude/skills/latex-formatting/scripts/latex_checker.py paper/main.tex --venue neurips --fix

Runs checks then applies clean_latex.py fixes, writing to main_fixed.tex.

References

Venue specs, project structure, packages, commands: ~/.claude/skills/latex-formatting/references/venue-templates.md

Action: `setup`

Create the project directory structure and main.tex for the specified venue. Use the template from references/venue-templates.md.

Action: `fix`

Fix common LaTeX issues: unescaped special chars, math mode errors, float placement, overfull/underfull boxes, cross-reference issues.

Action: `check`

Run latex_checker.py for pre-submission validation. Check page count, anonymization, required sections, TODO markers.
