Compile a .tex with latexmk and report ranked errors with file:line attribution across \input'd files, plus a diff against the last compile. TRIGGER on "compile this", "build my paper", "build the beamer deck", "why won't this compile", "what are the latex errors", "did my edit add warnings", or any request to build or debug a LaTeX document. TRIGGER also on polishing or debugging a TikZ or pgfplots figure whose labels overlap or that "looks wrong" (the --figures loop). Quarto .qmd decks…
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
# compile-latex Compile a `.tex`, parse the log into a ranked report with correct `file:line` attribution, and diff it against the previous build. The default is compile-and-report only; nothing in the source is edited unless `--figures` is passed. Parsing detail (package tables, log regexes, file-stack rules, box thresholds, state schema) is in [`references/log-patterns.md`](references/log-patterns.md). Read it before steps 3 through 5. Diff-vs-last-compile is adapted from `compiledeck` in [scunning1975/MixtapeTools](https://github.com/scunning1975/MixtapeTools). ## Options | Option | Default | Meaning | |---|---|---| | positional path | required | Master `.tex`. Absolute path, or a basename to resolve. | | `--engine=` | `auto` | Force `pdflatex` / `xelatex` / `lualatex`. | | `--outdir=` | `build` | Aux directory (`latexmk -outdir`). | | `--box-threshold=` | `5pt` | Overfull reporting gate. | | `--figures` | off | Opt-in: run the step-6 review loop on every TikZ/pgfplots figure, then splice back. | | `--max-iter=` | 5 | Rounds per figure in the `--figures` loop. | | `--goal=` | from caption | What a figure should communicate. Passed to the reviewer verbatim. | …

How to install
mdr add ericluo04/claude-academic-workflow/compile-latex@sha256:c4c267da744593f7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.b89bc04, 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.
