AutoSci: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/paper-compile/SKILL.md

paper-compile is a skill for Claude Code from skyllwt/AutoSci. It costs 31 tokens per session (2,441 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A LaTeX-to-PDF compilation and checking workflow for research papers. LaTeX is a text-based system for formatting documents, and the workflow also checks requirements such as page limits, anonymous submissions, fonts, and unresolved markers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compile paper/main.tex, repair missing packages or broken figure paths, count pages, check anonymity and font embedding, and create a submission checklist.
Why use it?
It helps find compilation errors and submission problems before a paper is sent to a venue, with optional fixes for common issues.

Skill for Claude Code

This is skyllwt/AutoSci's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on AutoSci itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything AutoSci configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 tools/research_wiki.py log wiki/ \.

About the project

AutoSci is an AI research platform organized around a wiki, with an agent that supports stages of scientific work such as reading, experimentation, writing, and retaining knowledge across projects. It is for people building or using AI-assisted research workflows, with Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode adaptations available. The catalogue add-ons extend those agent-specific workflows.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Fix: Avoid sudo/root unless strictly required. Prefer least-privilege patterns. If elevation is needed, document the justification and scope.

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 B, and why

paper-compile scanned grade B with 2 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 2mo 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/paper-compile

Compile a LaTeX paper to PDF, auto-fix common errors, and verify submission requirements. Input: the paper/ directory generated by /paper-draft. Run latexmk compilation, parse errors and attempt auto-fix (missing packages, undefined references, figure paths). Verify page limit, anonymous compliance, font embedding, and clearance of [UNCONFIRMED] markers. Generate a submission checklist.

Inputs

  • paper_dir (optional, default paper/): LaTeX project directory containing main.tex
  • --fix (optional): enable auto-fix mode (automatically install missing packages, correct paths)
  • --checklist (optional): generate a detailed submission checklist (check only, no compilation)

Outputs

  • paper/main.pdf — compiled PDF
  • COMPILE_REPORT (printed to terminal) — compilation status, check results, submission checklist
  • If --fix: modified .tex files (auto-fixed)

Wiki Interaction

Reads

  • wiki/outputs/paper-plan-*.md — retrieve venue information (page limit, anonymity requirements)
  • .claude/skills/shared-references/citation-verification.md — [UNCONFIRMED] marker check rules

Writes

  • paper/main.pdf — compilation output
  • wiki/log.md — appended compilation log

Graph edges created

  • None

Workflow

Precondition: confirm paper/main.tex exists. Confirm latexmk is installed (which latexmk).

Step 1: Compile

  1. First compilation:

    cd paper/ && latexmk -pdf -interaction=nonstopmode main.tex 2>&1

  2. Parse compilation output:

    • Collect all errors (! ...)
    • Collect all warnings (Warning: / Overfull / Underfull)
    • Classify:
      • Missing package: ! LaTeX Error: File 'xxx.sty' not found
      • Undefined reference: LaTeX Warning: Reference 'xxx' on page N undefined
      • Undefined citation: LaTeX Warning: Citation 'xxx' on page N undefined
      • Missing figure: ! LaTeX Error: File 'figures/xxx' not found
      • Syntax error: other errors beginning with !
      • Overfull/Underfull: typesetting warnings (non-blocking)

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.
