Paper Compilation Compile a LaTeX paper to PDF with error detection and correction. Input $ARGUMENTS — Path to the main .tex file Scripts Compile paper python ~/.claude/skills/paper-compilation/scripts/compile_paper.py paper/main.tex python ~/.claude/skills/paper-compilation/scripts/compile_paper.py paper/main.tex --check-style python ~/.claude/skills/paper-compilation/scripts/compile_paper.py paper/main.tex --output paper/output.pdf Reports: compilation status, page count, warnings, citation/reference stats, style issues. Validate citations before compiling python ~/.claude/skills/citation-management/scripts/validate_citations.py \ --tex paper/main.tex --bib paper/references.bib --check-figures --figures-dir paper/figures/ Auto-fix LaTeX errors python ~/.claude/skills/paper-compilation/scripts/fix_latex_errors.py \ --tex paper/main.tex --log compile.log --output paper/main_fixed.tex Fixes: HTML tags in LaTeX, mismatched environments, missing figures. Key flags: --dry-run , --auto-detect Compile with auto-fix retry python ~/.claude/skills/paper-compilation/scripts/compile_paper.py paper/main.tex --auto-fix Runs fix_latex_errors.py + recompile up to 3 rounds until compilation succeeds. Workflow Step 1: Pre-Compilation Validation Run validate_citations.py to catch issues before compiling: Every \cite{key} has a matching .bib entry Every \includegraphics{file} exists No duplicate labels or sections Step 2: Compile Run compile_paper.py which executes: pdflatex → bibtex → pdflatex → pdflatex Step 3: Error Correction Loop (up to 5 rounds) If compilation fails, read the error output and fix: ! Undefined control sequence → Add missing package or fix typo ! Missing $ inserted → Wrap math in $...$ ! Missing } inserted → Fix unmatched brace Citation 'key' undefined → Add to .bib or fix \cite → Replace with \end{figure} (HTML syntax in LaTeX) Apply minimal fixes. Do not remove packages unnecessarily. Recompile after each fix. Step 4: Post-Compilation Report Check: page count vs venue limit, remaining warnings, chktex style issues.
