Pre-submission format checker

Checks: word count, required sections, TODO markers, anonymization, mismatched environments, content stats.

Validate citations and references

bash
python ~/.claude/skills/citation-management/scripts/validate_citations.py \
  --tex paper/main.tex --bib paper/references.bib --check-figures

Clean LaTeX text (fix special characters)

bash
python ~/.claude/skills/latex-formatting/scripts/clean_latex.py \
  --input paper/main.tex --output paper/main_cleaned.tex
Replaces special/non-UTF8 characters with LaTeX equivalents, skips math environments. Key flags: 
--dry-run
, 
--tables-only

Auto-fix after checking

bash
python ~/.claude/skills/latex-formatting/scripts/latex_checker.py paper/main.tex --venue neurips --fix
Runs checks then applies clean_latex.py fixes, writing to 
main_fixed.tex
.
