Condense to Overleaf

Take detailed Quarto replication book content and produce concise, paper-ready LaTeX for Overleaf sections.

Input: $ARGUMENTS — e.g., "85_literature_sources → 2-background" or "chapter 70 → 3-data"

Paths

• Quarto source: $RB/replication_book/
• Overleaf target: $OL/Sections/
• Bibliography: $OL/bibliographyCiteDrive.bib

Process

1. Read the Quarto Source

• Read the full .qmd chapter
• Identify all substantive content (skip YAML headers, code chunks, R/Stata output blocks)
• Note any citations used (format: @key in QMD → \cite{key} or \citet{key} in LaTeX)

2. Proofread (same standards as /proofread)

• Grammar, spelling, clarity
• Academic writing standards (active voice, precise language)
• Terminology consistency with existing Overleaf sections
• Citation format correctness

3. Condense for Paper

• A replication book chapter may be 500-1000 lines; a paper section is 100-200 lines
• Keep: key arguments, empirical claims, theoretical motivation, essential citations
• Remove: exploratory notes, code commentary, debugging sections, verbose data descriptions
• Restructure: replication book is pedagogical; paper is argumentative

4. Convert to LaTeX

• QMD markdown → LaTeX formatting
• **bold** → \textbf{}
• @cite → \cite{}, \citet{}, or \citep{} as appropriate
• Tables: reference existing \input{files/tab/...} rather than inline
• Equations: preserve or improve LaTeX math formatting
• Cross-refs: use \ref{tab:...}, \ref{fig:...}, \ref{section-...}

5. Write to Overleaf Section

• Read the existing Overleaf section first (preserve anything that should stay)
• Write the condensed content
• Ensure it has proper \section{}/\subsection{} hierarchy
• Add \label{section-...} if not present

6. Verify

• Check all \cite{} keys exist in bibliographyCiteDrive.bib
• Check all \ref{} labels exist somewhere in the project
• Check no orphaned \end{} or unbalanced braces

Output

• Modified Overleaf section file
• Summary of changes made
• List of any citations that need adding to .bib
