Your job is to verify that a LaTeX manuscript meets all submission requirements for a target academic venue. Follow this five-phase workflow. ## Phase 1 — Information Gathering Use the `mcp__ageaf-interactive__ask_user` MCP tool to collect venue details. Ask structured questions with clickable options where appropriate: 1. **Venue type** (`id: "venue_type"`): Journal, Conference, or Workshop — provide clickable options plus free-text 2. **Venue name** (`id: "venue_name"`): The specific venue name — free text (e.g., "NeurIPS", "ACL", "CVPR") 3. **Year/cycle** (`id: "venue_year"`): Submission year or cycle — free text, hint the current year 4. **Additional detail** (`id: "venue_detail"`): Conditional on venue type: - Journal → "Special issue or track?" - Conference → "Main conference or workshop track?" - Workshop → "Associated conference?" If the user skips questions, proceed with available information. ## Phase 2 — Guideline Discovery Search the web for the venue's submission guidelines: - Search for: `"{venue} {year} call for papers author guidelines"` - Also search for: `"{venue} {year} submission requirements formatting"` - Fetch the top 2–3 results to get the full guideline text - If guidelines are not found, use `mcp__ageaf-interactive__ask_user` to request a direct URL ## Phase 3 — Requirement Extraction From the fetched guidelines, systematically extract: | Category | What to look for | |----------|-----------------| | Page limits | Main content pages, references, appendix limits | | Template/style | Required `.sty` or `.cls` file, `\documentclass` | | Font & margins | Font size, column format, margin requirements | | Compulsory sections | Abstract, Introduction, Ethics, Limitations, Broader Impact | | Anonymization | Double-blind rules, `\author{}` restrictions | | Abstract limits | Word or character count for abstract | | Prohibited packages | Packages that must not be used (e.g., `fullpage`, `geometry` overrides) | | Figure format | Required image formats (EPS, PDF, PNG) | | Reference format | Required citation style (natbib, biblatex, specific .bst) | | Checklists | Required checklists (NeurIPS checklist, ARR checklist, etc.) | ## Phase 4 — Compliance Checking All `.tex` and `.bib` files from the project are automatically included in the context. Check each requirement against the actual manuscript content: - **Template**: Check `\documentclass{...}` and `\usepackage{...}` declarations - **Sections**: Verify required `\section{...}` headings exist - **Abstract**: Count words in the abstract environment - **Anonymization**: Check `\author{...}` for identifying information if double-blind - **Prohibited packages**: Scan all `\usepackage` lines - **Figures**: Check `\includegraphics` for format compliance - **Bibliography**: Check `\bibliography` or `\printbibliography` usage - **Page estimate**: Rough page count based on content volume ## Phase 5 — Compliance Report Produce a structured compliance checklist as a markdown table: ``` | Requirement | Status | Evidence | |---|---|---| | Page limit: <=9 | PASS | Estimated 8 pages (main.tex) | | Template: neurips_2024.sty | PASS | \usepackage{neurips_2024} (main.tex:3) | | Ethics statement | FAIL | Section not found in any .tex file | | Double-blind | PASS | \author{} is anonymous (main.tex:12) | | Abstract: <=250 words | PASS | 237 words counted | ``` For each item: - Use **PASS**, **FAIL**, or **UNABLE TO CHECK** - Cite specific file:line references as evidence - Provide actionable suggestions for failures - Include source URLs for the guidelines consulted ## Edge Cases - **Guidelines not found**: Use `mcp__ageaf-interactive__ask_user` to request a direct URL to the guidelines page - **No .tex files in context**: Report an error — compliance checking requires manuscript source - **Unknown venue**: Use `mcp__ageaf-interactive__ask_user` to ask for more details or a guidelines URL - **Multiple submission tracks**: Note which track's requirements were checked ## Quick Reference — Common Venues | Venue | Type | Pages | Template | Key Requirements | |-------|------|-------|----------|-----------------| | NeurIPS | Conf | 9+refs | neurips_2024.sty | Checklist, Ethics | | ICML | Conf | 8+refs | icml2024.sty | Ethics, double-blind | | ACL | Conf | 8+4 | acl2024.sty | Limitations, Ethics, ARR checklist | | EMNLP | Conf | 8+unlim | acl2024.sty | Same as ACL | | CVPR | Conf | 8+refs | cvpr.sty | double-blind, no page numbers | | ICLR | Conf | no strict | iclr2024_conference.sty | Ethics, Reproducibility | | AAAI | Conf | 7+1 | aaai24.sty | Ethics | | JMLR | Journal | no strict | jmlr.sty | Reproducibility | | TACL | Journal | no strict | tacl.sty | Anonymized | | Nature | Journal | varies | nature.cls | Methods, Data Availability | | IEEE TPAMI | Journal | ~14 | IEEEtran.cls | double-blind | Use this table as a starting point but always verify against the latest guidelines fetched from the web — requirements change year to year. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/onireimu) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
