Set up, build, and debug a LaTeX thesis: project layout with one file per chapter, latexmk builds, biblatex or natbib bibliography wiring, university template adoption, compile-error diagnosis from the .log (undefined control sequence, missing $, overfull boxes, undefined citations), cross-references, figures and tables, and the packages worth using. Use when starting a LaTeX thesis, when a build fails, when references show as question marks, or when adopting a department template.

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 problems fall into two kinds: a build that fails (read the log, fix the first error, rebuild) and a document that builds wrong (question marks, misplaced floats, broken references). Both are diagnosed from the `.log`, never by guessing at the source.

## Project layout

```
thesis/
  main.tex            \documentclass, packages, \input of chapters
  preamble.tex        packages and macros, nothing else
  chapters/01-introduction.tex ...
  figures/            vector PDFs or high-dpi PNGs, one per figure
  tables/             generated .tex tables (from scripts, never hand-typed numbers)
  references.bib      the bibliography (bibtex-manager owns it)
  latexmkrc           build settings
  .gitignore          *.aux *.bbl *.blg *.log *.out *.toc *.lof *.lot *.fls *.fdb_latexmk *.synctex.gz
```

One file per chapter, `\input{chapters/01-introduction}` from `main.tex`. `\includeonly{chapters/04-results}` speeds up iteration on one chapter.

## Build

Use latexmk; it runs pdflatex/biber/pdflatex the right number of times:

```bash
latexmk -pdf -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error main.tex
latexmk -pdf -pvc main.tex      # rebuild on save
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/latex-toolkit@sha256:8de934189efa70ac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.2dcedee, 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.
