latex-to-word

latex-to-word is a skill for Claude Code from kennethkhoocy/applied-micro-skills. It costs 228 tokens per session (1,764 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for moving academic manuscripts between LaTeX, a document format common in research, and Microsoft Word. It also helps assemble a LaTeX file from PDFs, Word documents, and generated text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert .tex files to .docx, convert Word manuscripts to LaTeX, preserve footnotes during round trips, or combine mixed source material into one .tex file.
Why use it?
It reduces the formatting work involved when researchers edit papers with Word-based co-authors or submit LaTeX papers to Word-only journals.

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

latex-to-word 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 29 executable files (convert_bracket_footnotes.py, gui.py, scripts/assemble.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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LaTeX ↔ Word

This skill moves academic manuscripts between LaTeX and Microsoft Word and assembles .tex from heterogeneous sources. It consolidates four former skills into three workflows: a footnote-preserving round-trip for co-author editing cycles, a high-fidelity one-way .tex → .docx engine for delivering finished papers to Word-only journals or coauthors, and a set of knowledge patterns for building a single .tex from PDF/docx/LLM-generated content. Read the deep doc for the workflow you need before running anything.

Routing

User intent Workflow Entry point Deep doc
Deliver a finished LaTeX paper as high-fidelity Word (regression tables, math, cross-references must survive) B — one-way tex→docx scripts/convert.py references/tex-to-docx-engine.md
Iterate on a manuscript with Word-based co-authors while editing in LaTeX (docx→tex→docx, footnotes preserved) A — round-trip gui.py, or scripts/docx_to_tex.py + scripts/tex_to_docx.py references/roundtrip.md
Build a .tex from PDF / .docx / LLM-generated text C — assemble from mixed sources knowledge patterns (no scripts) references/mixed-sources.md

Which workflow

  • B is the default for "deliver my LaTeX paper as Word." The fidelity engine builds native Word tables, OMML equations, real footnotes, embedded figures, and resolves \cref/\Cref/\eqref from the .aux. Use B whenever the paper has regression/booktabs tables, math, or cross-references that must survive — plain pandoc drops or mangles all of these.
  • A is for iterating with Word-based co-authors while you edit in LaTeX. Its tex → docx step is plain pandoc plus a style-templated scripts/reference.docx (fast, formatting-only), so it does not build native tables or resolve crefs. Choose A when the exchange is prose and footnotes and speed matters; switch to B once the document depends on tables/math/cross-references.
  • C is knowledge-only — patterns for a pipeline that emits .tex, applied when you author the pipeline. No script to invoke.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
