Export Latex

Export the current paper draft to production-ready LaTeX (.tex) and PDF using the arxiv-style template. Converts draft.md + references.bib + figures/ into a complete LaTeX project with resolved citations, tables, and figures. Compiles to PDF automatically.

Export LaTeX: $ARGUMENTS

Activate the latex-engine skill. Read skills/latex-engine/SKILL.md in full. Then execute the full export pipeline:

  1. Verify prerequisites: Check that draft.md and references.bib exist in the working directory. If they don't exist, inform the user they need to run /write-paper first.

  2. Install LaTeX if needed: Check if pdflatex is available. If not, install:

    apt-get update && apt-get install -y texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-bibtex-extra

  3. Set up the latex/ directory: Create latex/ with arxiv.sty, references.bib, and figures/.

  4. Run the converter: Use scripts/md_to_latex.py to generate paper.tex.

    • If $ARGUMENTS includes author info, pass it through.
    • If $ARGUMENTS includes a title override, use it.

  5. Compile to PDF: Run pdflatex → bibtex → pdflatex → pdflatex.

  6. Validate: Check for undefined citations, missing figures, and remaining TODOs.

  7. Report results: Present the final package with file list and any issues found.

Do not ask for confirmation to start — execute immediately.
