Paper

Work with research papers, TeX/LaTeX documents, and academic writing.

Operations

read

Read a PDF or TeX file:

# PDF (Claude can read PDFs directly via the Read tool)
# Just provide the path -- Claude will render it visually

# TeX source
cat docs/publications/PAPER.tex

compile

Compile a TeX document to PDF:

cd docs/publications
pdflatex PAPER.tex
# Run twice for references:
pdflatex PAPER.tex

If using bibliography:

pdflatex PAPER.tex
bibtex PAPER
pdflatex PAPER.tex
pdflatex PAPER.tex

review

Review a paper for:

• Accuracy: Are claims supported by evidence?
• Clarity: Is the writing clear and unambiguous?
• Completeness: Are there missing sections or arguments?
• Numbers: Are statistics, counts, and citations accurate?
• Formatting: TeX errors, missing references, layout issues

cite

Search for papers to cite:

• Use [web-research] to find relevant papers
• Check arxiv, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar
• Verify the paper exists before citing

Current Papers

• docs/publications/CRAI_2026_TYPED_TUPLE_PROFILE.tex -- CRAI 2026 paper on typed tuple profiles
• docs/publications/CRAI_2026_TYPED_TUPLE_PROFILE.pdf -- Compiled PDF

TeX Tips

• Use \cite{key} for citations (requires .bib file)
• Use \ref{label} for cross-references
• Check for overfull hboxes in compile output
• Keep line length < 80 chars for readable diffs
