export-latex - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: export-latex description: Export research project findings to a LaTeX manuscript draft with figures, references, and methods. Supports Nature, Cell, Lancet, and generic article formats. Use when user says "导出 LaTeX", "/export latex", "写论文初稿", "export to LaTeX", "generate manuscript", or wants a paper draft from project results. Builds on venue-templates skill.

Export Project to LaTeX Manuscript

Auto-generate a LaTeX paper draft from a ScienceClaw project's report, figures, and METHODS.md. Uses venue-templates skill for journal-specific formatting.

When to Use

User says "/export latex", "导出 LaTeX", "写论文初稿", "生成论文"
User wants to draft a manuscript from analysis results
User specifies a target journal (Nature, Cell, Lancet, etc.)

Workflow

Identify the project and read report + METHODS.md + figures
Ask for target journal if not specified (default: generic article)
Map report sections to paper structure (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion)
Generate .tex file with proper formatting
Copy figures to a latex/figures/ subdirectory
Generate .bib file from references
Save to reports/<project_name>_manuscript.tex

Paper Structure Mapping

Report Section	Paper Section
Background / Introduction	Introduction
METHODS.md	Methods / Materials and Methods
Results / Findings / Analysis	Results
Summary / Conclusions / Discussion	Discussion
References	Bibliography (.bib)

BibTeX Generation

Convert GB/T 7714 references from the report to BibTeX entries:

def gbt7714_to_bibtex(ref_line, key):
    """Convert a GB/T 7714 reference line to BibTeX @article entry."""
    # Parse: [N] Authors. Title[J]. Journal, Year, Vol(Issue): Pages. DOI: xxx.
    # Generate: @article{key, author={...}, title={...}, journal={...}, year={...}, ...}
    ...

Journal-Specific Templates

For specific journals, refer to the venue-templates skill which provides full LaTeX class files and formatting requirements for:

Nature / Nature Communications
Cell / Cell Reports
The Lancet
PLOS ONE
IEEE / ACM conferences

When the user specifies a journal, load the appropriate template from venue-templates and adapt the content accordingly.

Output

reports/<project_name>_manuscript.tex
reports/references.bib
reports/latex/figures/ (copies of all PNG figures)

Report all file paths to the user.
