Agent skill

latex-compile-qa

Compile a LaTeX project and run basic QA (missing refs, bib errors, broken citations), producing `latex/main.pdf` and a build report. **Trigger**: latex compile, build PDF, LaTeX errors, missing refs, 编译PDF, 引用错误. **Use when**: 已有 `latex/main.tex`（通常来自 `latex-scaffold`），需要确认可编译并输出失败原因报告。 **Skip if**: 还没有 LaTeX scaffold（先跑 `latex-scaffold`）。 **Network**: none. **Guardrail**: 编译失败也要落盘 `output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md`；不做“内容改写”，只做编译/QA。

SKILL.md

LaTeX Compile + QA

Compile the LaTeX project and produce a PDF (when the toolchain is available), plus a short build report.

This step is deterministic; if compilation fails, record actionable diagnostics rather than guessing.

Inputs

  • latex/main.tex
  • citations/ref.bib

Outputs

  • latex/main.pdf (if compilation succeeds)
  • output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md (recommended)

Workflow

  1. Run a LaTeX build (e.g., latexmk) if available.
  2. Fix missing packages, missing bib entries, and unresolved references.
  3. Record remaining issues in a build report.

Quality checklist

  • Either latex/main.pdf exists, or output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md explains why compilation failed.
  • For arxiv-survey-latex deliverables: latex/main.pdf is >= 8 pages and has no undefined citations/references (strict gate).

Script

Quick Start

  • python .codex/skills/latex-compile-qa/scripts/run.py --help
  • python .codex/skills/latex-compile-qa/scripts/run.py --workspace <workspace_dir>

All Options

  • See --help (inputs/outputs are taken from the unit runner when used via pipeline)

Examples

  • Compile + produce report:
    • python .codex/skills/latex-compile-qa/scripts/run.py --workspace <ws>

Notes

  • Uses latexmk -xelatex -bibtex when available.
  • Always writes output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md (success or failure).
  • Report includes page count + warning summary when available.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: latexmk not found

Symptom:

  • Build report says “latexmk not found in PATH”.

Causes:

  • LaTeX toolchain is not installed.

Solutions:

  • Install a TeX distribution that includes latexmk.
  • If you can’t install tools, still use latex-scaffold to generate latex/main.tex and compile elsewhere.

Issue: Build fails with bib/ref errors

Symptom:

  • Report shows missing citations/refs or BibTeX errors.

Causes:

  • citations/ref.bib missing/miswired, or draft contains invalid cite keys.

Solutions:

  • Ensure latex/main.tex points to ../citations/ref.bib (or the correct relative path).
  • Ensure all citation keys exist in citations/ref.bib.

Recovery Checklist

  • Read output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md tail for the first actionable error.
  • Confirm latex/main.tex exists and bibliography path is correct.

thesis-compile-review

对中文毕业论文进行编译、warning 分级、模板模式检查、数据与引用复查，并把问题回写成可继续迭代的 review checklist。 **Trigger**: 毕业论文编译检查, thesis compile review, warning 分级, 终稿复查, main.pdf 检查. **Use when**: 论文已经回写到 TeX 交付层，需要确认是否真正达到“可提交”的质量，而不是只做到能编译。 **Skip if**: 还处于中间层重构阶段，`chapters/*.tex` 尚未形成稳定交付稿。 **Network**: none. **Guardrail**: 不在这里重构章节主线；如果发现结构问题，明确回退到上游修复。

front-matter-writer

Write the survey's front matter files (Abstract, Introduction, Related Work, Discussion, Conclusion) in paper voice, with high citation density and a single evidence-policy paragraph. **Trigger**: front matter writer, introduction writer, related work writer, abstract writer, discussion writer, conclusion writer, 引言, 相关工作, 摘要, 讨论, 结论. **Use when**: you are in C5 (prose allowed) and need the paper-like shell to stop the draft reading like stitched subsections. **Skip if**: `Approve C2` is missing in `DECISIONS.md`, or `citations/ref.bib` is missing. **Network**: none. **Guardrail**: no invented facts/citations; no pipeline jargon in final prose; no repeated evidence disclaimers; only use keys present in `citations/ref.bib`.

thesis-question-list

维护中文毕业论文的 `codex_md/question_list.md`：把本轮问题、边界、优先级、协作方案和验收口径结构化，作为整条 thesis pipeline 的控制面。 **Trigger**: 毕业论文问题清单, thesis question list, 论文修改清单, 本轮目标, 结构问题梳理, review问题整理. **Use when**: 你已经有一批材料或上一轮 review 结果，需要明确这一轮到底修什么、不修什么，并给后续重构与编译复查提供统一入口。 **Skip if**: 当前只是在做一次性局部措辞修改，且没有形成新一轮结构/证据/编译问题。 **Network**: none. **Guardrail**: 不在这里写正文；不把问题单写成长篇散文；每条问题必须可执行、可验收。

novelty-matrix

Create a novelty/prior-work matrix comparing the submission’s contributions against related work (overlaps vs deltas). **Trigger**: novelty matrix, prior-work matrix, overlap/delta, 相关工作对比, 新颖性矩阵. **Use when**: peer review 中评估 novelty/positioning，需要把贡献与相关工作逐项对齐并写出差异点证据。 **Skip if**: 缺少 claims（先跑 `claims-extractor`）或你不打算做新颖性定位分析。 **Network**: none (retrieval of additional related work is out-of-scope unless provided). **Guardrail**: 明确 overlap 与 delta；尽量给出可追溯证据来源（来自稿件/引用/作者陈述）。

protocol-writer

Write a systematic review protocol into `output/PROTOCOL.md` (databases, queries, inclusion/exclusion, time window, extraction fields). **Trigger**: protocol, PRISMA, systematic review, inclusion/exclusion, 检索式, 纳入排除. **Use when**: systematic review pipeline 的起点（C1），需要先锁定 protocol 再开始 screening/extraction。 **Skip if**: 不是做 systematic review（或 protocol 已经锁定且不允许修改）。 **Network**: none. **Guardrail**: protocol 必须包含可执行的检索与筛选规则；需要 HUMAN 签字后才能进入 screening。

rubric-writer

Write a rubric-based peer review report (`output/REVIEW.md`) using extracted claims and evidence gaps (novelty/soundness/clarity/impact). **Trigger**: rubric review, referee report, peer review write-up, 审稿报告, REVIEW.md. **Use when**: peer-review pipeline 的最后阶段（C3），已有 `output/CLAIMS.md` + `output/MISSING_EVIDENCE.md`（以及可选 novelty matrix）。 **Skip if**: 上游产物未就绪（claims/evidence gaps 缺失）或你不打算输出完整审稿报告。 **Network**: none. **Guardrail**: 给可执行建议（actionable feedback），并覆盖 novelty/soundness/clarity/impact；避免泛泛而谈。
