arxiv-paper-writer SKILL.md skillB
arxiv-paper-writer from appautomaton/latex-arxiv-skill is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add appautomaton/latex-arxiv-skill/arxiv-paper-writer@git:20260712.2384996Pins git:20260712.2384996 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Write LaTeX ML/AI review articles for arXiv using the IEEEtran template and verified BibTeX citations. Use when writing, planning, or continuing an arXiv review/survey paper, or when validating and repairing citations in an existing LaTeX project.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# ML/AI Review Paper Workflow (IEEEtran template) ## When to Use - ML/AI review papers for arXiv (main text ~6-10 pages; references excluded) - LaTeX + BibTeX workflow with verified citations - Citation validation/repair on existing LaTeX projects ## When NOT to Use - Novel experimental research papers (this is a review workflow) - Non-academic documents ## Inputs - Topic description (required) - Constraints: venue, page limit, author/affiliations (optional) - Existing project path for citation validation (optional) ## Outputs - `main.tex` (LaTeX source) - `ref.bib` (verified BibTeX entries) - `IEEEtran.cls` - `plan/<timestamp>-<slug>.md`, `issues/<timestamp>-<slug>.csv` - Figures/tables; `main.pdf` - `notes/research-snapshot.md` (Gate 0 research snapshot) - `notes/literature-notes.md` (optional per-citation notes) - `notes/arxiv-registry.sqlite3` (arXiv metadata/BibTeX cache) …

How to install
mdr add appautomaton/latex-arxiv-skill/arxiv-paper-writer@sha256:2553d9c0bcd447bdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260712.2384996, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
