venue-templates

venue-templates is a skill for Claude Code from dralkh/iktinah. It costs 97 tokens per session (5,391 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of venue-templates, MIT.

A collection of LaTeX templates and instructions for preparing papers, posters, and grant proposals for specific journals, conferences, and funding agencies. LaTeX is a system for producing consistently formatted documents from source files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare submissions for venues such as Nature, IEEE, NeurIPS, or ICML, and to create research posters or proposals for agencies including NSF and NIH.
Why use it?
Academic venues often impose different layouts, page limits, and submission rules. The templates reduce the work of adapting a document and checking its required format.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

venue-templates scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/customize_template.py, scripts/generate_schematic_ai.py, scripts/generate_schematic.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Venue Templates

Overview

Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues, academic conferences, research posters, and grant proposals. This skill provides ready-to-use templates and detailed specifications for successful academic submissions across disciplines.

Use this skill when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Preparing a manuscript for submission to a specific journal (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, etc.)
  • Writing a conference paper with specific formatting requirements (NeurIPS, ICML, CHI, etc.)
  • Creating an academic research poster for conferences
  • Drafting grant proposals for federal agencies (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA) or private foundations
  • Checking formatting requirements and page limits for target venues
  • Customizing templates with author information and project details
  • Verifying document compliance with venue specifications

Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics

When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.

If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:

  • Use the scientific-schematics skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
  • Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
  • Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic

For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.

How to generate schematics:

python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png

The AI will automatically:

  • Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
  • Review and refine through multiple iterations
  • Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
  • Save outputs in the figures/ directory
