Package a TeX/LaTeX project into a clean tarball or zip for arXiv upload: file selection, build-artifact exclusion, 00README.XXX generation, ancillary file organization, archive validation. Triggers on: "package for arXiv", "create arXiv tarball", "bundle submission", "zip for arXiv", "prepare arXiv upload", "arXiv submission archive". Companion to arxiv-preflight and arxiv-figures.
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
# arXiv Submission Packager ## Purpose Assemble a TeX/LaTeX project into a clean, correctly structured `.tar.gz` or `.zip` archive ready for arXiv upload. Handles file selection, artifact exclusion, directory structure, 00README generation, and validation of the final package. Companion skills: - `arxiv-preflight` — validate before packaging - `arxiv-figures` — optimize figures before packaging ## Workflow ### 1. Inventory Scan the project directory. Classify every file: **INCLUDE — Required** - Main `.tex` file(s) - All `\input`/`\include` targets (recursively trace) - All `\includegraphics` targets - `.bbl` files (pre-processed bibliography) - `.ind` files (pre-processed index) - `.gls`/`.nls` files (glossary/nomenclature) - Custom `.sty`, `.cls`, `.bst` files not in TeX Live - `00README.XXX` (if present) - `anc/` directory contents (ancillary files) **EXCLUDE — Build Artifacts** - `.aux`, `.log`, `.toc`, `.lot`, `.lof`, `.out`, `.nav`, `.snm`, `.vrb` - `.dvi`, `.ps`, `.pdf` (except figure PDFs and ancillary PDFs) - `.synctex`, `.synctex.gz`, `.fls`, `.fdb_latexmk` - `.blg`, `.ilg`, `.glg`, `.nlg` (log files from bib/index/glossary processing) …

How to install
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/arxiv-package@sha256:655d813369174113The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
