Convert academic PDF papers to GitHub-renderable GFM markdown with inline figures and correctly formatted math equations. Use this skill when converting research papers, technical reports, or math-heavy PDFs for display on GitHub or GitLab. Also use it when GFM math equations are broken or not rendering on GitHub, when someone asks about the $$-vs-```math decision, when equations look garbled on GitHub, when KaTeX validation is needed, or when investigating why LaTeX renders locally but not on GitHub. Also use when comparing GitHub vs GitLab math rendering, when asking about self-hosting GitLab for math documents, or when looking for a platform that requires less LaTeX workarounds. Covers PDF type detection (Word vs LaTeX vs scanned), tool selection (pymupdf4llm/pdftotext/marker-pdf), image extraction, GitHub math rendering rules ($$-vs-```math decision), GitLab native math support (no workarounds needed), KaTeX validation, and multi-agent adversarial equation verification.

Validate ASCII diagram alignment in markdown. TRIGGERS - diagram alignment, ASCII art, box-drawing diagrams.

Apply markdown documentation standards optimized for both LLM consumption and Pandoc PDF generation. Use whenever the user is writing or reviewing documentation, asks about section numbering conventions, markdown formatting standards, or documentation style guidelines. Also use when preparing documents for PDF export via Pandoc. Do NOT use for general prose editing, code commenting, or README generation unrelated to these standards.

Manage terminology glossary with Vale. TRIGGERS - sync terms, glossary validation, add terms, Vale vocabulary.

LaTeX builds with latexmk and live preview. TRIGGERS - latexmk, LaTeX build, live preview, compilation.

LaTeX environment setup on macOS. TRIGGERS - install LaTeX, MacTeX, Skim viewer, SyncTeX setup.

LaTeX tables with tabularray package. TRIGGERS - LaTeX table, tabularray, fixed-width columns, table alignment.

PDF generation from markdown via Pandoc/XeLaTeX. TRIGGERS - markdown for PDF, print document, pandoc, xelatex, section numbering, table of contents, page breaks.

ASCII financial line charts for markdown using plotext dot marker. TRIGGERS - financial chart, line chart, plotext, price chart, trading chart, ASCII chart.
