In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a template archive, identify its main file and dependencies, plan cleanup, remove unnecessary example material, and produce a README. It waits for confirmation before cleanup.
Why use it?
Conference templates often contain example papers, instructions, and scattered files that make a new paper hard to start.

  • high Tool Misuse · line 434
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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 C, and why

latex-conference-template-organizer scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 13d ago.

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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

LaTeX Conference Template Organizer

Overview

Transform messy conference LaTeX template .zip files into clean, Overleaf-ready submission templates. Official conference templates often contain excessive example content, instructional comments, and disorganized file structures. This skill converts them into templates ready for writing.

Working Mode

Analyze-then-confirm mode: First analyze issues and present them to the user, then execute cleanup after confirmation.

Complete Workflow

Receive .zip file
    ↓
1. Extract and analyze file structure
    ↓
2. Identify main file and dependencies
    ↓
3. Diagnose issues (present to user)
    ↓
4. Ask for conference info (link/name)
    ↓
5. Wait for user confirmation of cleanup plan
    ↓
6. Execute cleanup, create output directory
    ↓
7. Generate README (with official website info)
    ↓
8. Output complete

Step 1: Extract and Analyze

Extract Files

Extract .zip to a temporary directory:

unzip -q template.zip -d /tmp/latex-template-temp
cd /tmp/latex-template-temp
find . -type f -name "*.tex" -o -name "*.sty" -o -name "*.cls" -o -name "*.bib"

Identify File Types

File Type Purpose
.tex LaTeX source files
.sty / .cls Style files
.bib Bibliography database
.pdf / .png / .jpg Image files

Identify Main File

Common main file names:

  • main.tex
  • paper.tex
  • document.tex
  • sample-sigconf.tex
  • template.tex

Identification methods:

  1. Check if filename matches common patterns
  2. Search for files containing \documentclass
  3. If multiple candidates exist, ask user to confirm
# Find files containing \documentclass
grep -l "\\documentclass" *.tex

Step 2: Diagnose Issues

Present discovered issues to the user:

Disorganized File Structure

  • Multi-level directory nesting
  • .tex files scattered across directories
  • Unclear which file is the main file

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
