Post-process LaTeX project prose to improve readability through varied sentence and paragraph lengths. Removes filler phrases and unnecessary transitions while preserving all citations and semantic meaning. Use after drafting is complete, when sections read as monotonous or blocky.
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 Rhythm Refiner
## When to Use
- After LaTeX content generation is complete
- To improve prose flow and readability in academic documents
- When sections feel monotonous or blocky
## When NOT to Use
- During initial content drafting
- For citation verification or addition
- For technical/structural LaTeX fixes
## Core Principles
### 1. Preserve Citations Exactly
- Every `\cite{...}` must remain in place
- Citations stay attached to their original semantic context
- Never move a citation to a different claim or sentence meaning
### 2. Vary Rhythm Stochastically
**Sentence length**: Mix short (5-12 words), medium (13-22 words), and long (23-35 words) sentences. Avoid consecutive sentences of similar length.
**Paragraph length**: Alternate between:
- Short (2-3 sentences) for emphasis or transitions
- Medium (4-5 sentences) for standard exposition
- Long (6-8 sentences) for complex arguments
### 3. Remove Fillers
Eliminate or replace:
- "in order to" → "to"
- "it is worth noting that" → (delete or rephrase directly)
- "due to the fact that" → "because"
- "in the context of" → "in" or "for"
- "a large number of" → "many"
- "in spite of the fact that" → "although"

How to install
mdr add appautomaton/latex-arxiv-skill/latex-rhythm-refiner@sha256:be600003c35f81a7The 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.
