latex-thesis-zh_skill

Overview

This skill is a Chinese LaTeX thesis assistant tailored for master and doctoral manuscripts in deep learning, time series, and industrial control. It provides modular checks and edits for compilation, structure mapping, GB/T formatting, academic expression, long-sentence simplification, bibliography validation, template detection, and de-AIfication. It enforces safe-editing rules to preserve citations, labels, and math environments while producing annotated suggestions.

How this skill works

Each module runs independently (except structure mapping which should run first for multi-file reviews) and emits line-level commented suggestions in a fixed diff-comment LaTeX style with severity and priority metadata. The tool can run local scripts for compilation, format checks, bib verification, and template detection, and produces non-destructive rewrite proposals for visible text only. When scripts fail, it returns structured error comments explaining cause and remediation steps.

When to use it

• Compile and debug LaTeX with XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX or latexmk
• Map project structure for multi-file theses before major edits
• Validate GB/T 7714 formatting and university template constraints
• Polish academic wording and convert colloquial Chinese into formal tone
• Detect and simplify long or deeply nested Chinese sentences
• Run de-AIfication to reduce synthetic writing artifacts while preserving facts

Best practices

• Always run structure mapping first for multi-file projects to detect missing front/back matter
• Keep backups: edits are suggested as commented diffs; apply changes manually after review
• Never modify \cite{}, \ref{}, \label{} or contents inside math/algorithm environments
• Use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX for Chinese documents; scripts auto-select XeLaTeX when ctex/xeCJK or Chinese chars detected
• When compiling, provide the first log error snippet if a build fails so the tool can prioritize fixes

Example use cases

• Quickly produce a reproducible XeLaTeX build command chain for a thesis with biber-managed bibliography
• Map files and detect whether the document uses thuthesis, pkuthss, ustcthesis, or a generic ctex template
• Check and fix GB/T 7714 bibliography and caption/font issues before submission
• Transform colloquial paragraphs into formal academic Chinese with annotated change comments
• Detect >60-character sentences and provide simplified rewrites and structural decomposition
