This skill should be used when the user asks to convert an academic paper in LaTeX from one format (e.g., Springer, IPOL) to another format (e.g., MDPI, IEEE, Nature). It automates extraction, injection, fixing formatting, and compiling.
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
# LaTeX Paper Conversion ## Overview This skill automates the tedious and recurring process of converting an academic paper written in LaTeX from one publisher's template to another. Different journals (e.g., Springer, MDPI, IEEE) have vastly different structural requirements, document classes, margin settings, and bibliography styles. This skill streamlines these conversions by executing a structured multi-stage workflow, extracting content, mapping it to a new template, and resolving common compilation errors. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when the user requests to port an existing LaTeX paper to a new journal's format. - Use when the user provides an existing `.tex` file and a new template directory. - Use when the user mentions converting from format A (e.g., IPOL/Neural Processing) to format B (e.g., MDPI). ## How It Works ### Step 1: Pre-requisites & Assessment Identify the **Source LaTeX file** and asking the user for the **Target Template Directory**. Understand the core layout mapping (single-column vs. double-column, bibliography style). ### Step 2: Extraction & Injection Script Generation …

How to install
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/latex-paper-conversion@sha256:8c1a8a17d7d3ff3eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, 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.
