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 and diagnose LaTeX build failures.
- Audit formatting, bibliography, grammar, sentence length, argument logic, and figure quality.
- Review IEEE-style pseudocode blocks, figure-wrapped algorithms, captions, labels, comments, and algorithm package choices.
- Improve expression, translate academic prose, optimize titles, and reduce AI-writing traces.
- Review experiment sections without rewriting citations, labels, or math.
Triggering
Use this skill when the user has an existing English .tex paper project and wants help with:
- compiling or fixing build errors
- format or venue compliance
- bibliography and citation validation
- grammar, sentence, logic, or expression review
- translation of academic prose
- title optimization
- figure or caption quality checks
- pseudocode and algorithm-block review
- de-AI editing of visible prose
- experiment-section analysis
Do Not Use
Do not use this skill for:
- planning or drafting a paper from scratch
- deep literature research or fact-finding without a paper project
- Chinese thesis-specific structure/template work
- Typst-first paper workflows
- DOCX/PDF conversion tasks that do not involve the LaTeX source
- multi-perspective review, scoring, or submission gate decisions (use
paper-audit) - standalone algorithm design from scratch without a paper project
