paper-compile

Compile a LaTeX academic paper project with the pdflatex + bibtex pipeline, diagnose errors, and check page-limit compliance for the configured venue.

This skill is disable-model-invocation: true. User must invoke explicitly via /paper-compile [--clean] [--page-check]. Manual-only because compilation runs an external tool and writes to build/.

Project config loading (mandatory first step)

Same as paper-draft. If no .paper-config.yml is found, stop.

What this skill does

Parse $ARGUMENTS for optional flags:

--clean: remove build/, *.aux, *.bbl, *.blg, *.log, *.out, *.toc before compiling
--page-check: after successful compile, count pages and compare against page_limit from .paper-config.yml. Warn if over.

Delegate to the compiler agent. The agent:

Runs pdflatex main.tex
Runs bibtex main
Runs pdflatex main.tex twice more (for cross-references)
Parses LaTeX log for errors and warnings
For each error, suggests a fix
For overfull \hbox warnings, points to the offending line

If --page-check is set, run pdfinfo build/main.pdf | grep Pages and compare to page_limit.

Handoff schemas

None.

Next steps

/paper-draft <section> if the compile reveals missing or short sections

/paper-cite check if undefined-reference errors mention missing bibtex keys
