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/diagnose LaTeX builds; audit formatting, bibliography, grammar, sentences, logic, figures, tables, captions, and pseudocode.
- Diagnose and rewrite-plan literature reviews (synthesis, comparison, gap derivation) and specific sections (paragraph roles, outlines, claim-evidence maps, self-review).
- Improve expression, translate academic prose, optimize titles, reduce AI-writing traces, and review experiment sections without touching citations, labels, or math.
Triggering
Use when the user has an existing English .tex paper project and wants: compile/build fixes; format or venue compliance; bibliography/citation validation; grammar, sentence, logic, or expression review; literature-review restructuring or gap derivation; section drafting/rewrite planning (Abstract through Conclusion); translation; title optimization; figure/table/caption checks; pseudocode review; de-AI editing; or experiment-section analysis.
Do Not Use
Not for: drafting a paper from scratch; literature research without a paper project; Chinese thesis structure/template work; Typst-first workflows; DOCX/PDF conversion without LaTeX source; multi-perspective review or scoring/gate decisions (use paper-audit); standalone algorithm design.
