name latex-compile-qa
description Compile a LaTeX project and run basic QA (missing refs, bib errors, broken citations), producing `latex/main.pdf` and a build report. **Trigger**: latex compile, build PDF, LaTeX errors, missing refs, 编译PDF, 引用错误. **Use when**: 已有 `latex/main.tex`（通常来自 `latex-scaffold`），需要确认可编译并输出失败原因报告。 **Skip if**: 还没有 LaTeX scaffold（先跑 `latex-scaffold`）。 **Network**: none. **Guardrail**: 编译失败也要落盘 `output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md`；不做“内容改写”，只做编译/QA。

LaTeX Compile + QA

Compile the LaTeX project and produce a PDF (when the toolchain is available), plus a short build report.

This step is deterministic; if compilation fails, record actionable diagnostics rather than guessing.

Inputs

  • latex/main.tex
  • citations/ref.bib

Outputs

  • latex/main.pdf (if compilation succeeds)
  • output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md (recommended)

Workflow

  1. Run a LaTeX build (e.g., latexmk) if available.
  2. Fix missing packages, missing bib entries, and unresolved references.
  3. Record remaining issues in a build report.

Quality checklist

  • Either latex/main.pdf exists, or output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md explains why compilation failed.
  • For arxiv-survey-latex deliverables: latex/main.pdf is >= 8 pages and has no undefined citations/references (strict gate).

Script

Quick Start

  • python .codex/skills/latex-compile-qa/scripts/run.py --help
  • python .codex/skills/latex-compile-qa/scripts/run.py --workspace <workspace_dir>

All Options

  • See --help (inputs/outputs are taken from the unit runner when used via pipeline)

Examples

  • Compile + produce report:
    • python .codex/skills/latex-compile-qa/scripts/run.py --workspace <ws>

Notes

  • Uses latexmk -xelatex -bibtex when available.
  • Always writes output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md (success or failure).
  • Report includes page count + warning summary when available.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: latexmk not found

Symptom:

  • Build report says “latexmk not found in PATH”.

Causes:

  • LaTeX toolchain is not installed.

Solutions:

  • Install a TeX distribution that includes latexmk.
  • If you can’t install tools, still use latex-scaffold to generate latex/main.tex and compile elsewhere.

Issue: Build fails with bib/ref errors

Symptom:

  • Report shows missing citations/refs or BibTeX errors.

Causes:

  • citations/ref.bib missing/miswired, or draft contains invalid cite keys.

Solutions:

  • Ensure latex/main.tex points to ../citations/ref.bib (or the correct relative path).
  • Ensure all citation keys exist in citations/ref.bib.

Recovery Checklist

  • Read output/LATEX_BUILD_REPORT.md tail for the first actionable error.
  • Confirm latex/main.tex exists and bibliography path is correct.
