  Universal LaTeX document skill: create, compile, and convert any document to
  professional PDF with PNG previews. Supports resumes, reports, cover letters,
  invoices, academic papers, theses/dissertations, academic CVs, presentations
  (Beamer), scientific posters, formal letters, exams/quizzes, books,
  cheat sheets, reference cards, exam formula sheets,
  fillable PDF forms (hyperref form fields), conditional content (etoolbox toggles),
  mail merge from CSV/JSON (Jinja2 templates), version diffing (latexdiff),
  charts (pgfplots + matplotlib), tables (booktabs + CSV import), images (TikZ),
  Mermaid diagrams, AI-generated images, watermarks, landscape pages,
  bibliography/citations (BibTeX/biblatex), multi-language/CJK (auto XeLaTeX),
  algorithms/pseudocode, colored boxes (tcolorbox), SI units (siunitx),
  Pandoc format conversion (Markdown/DOCX/HTML ↔ LaTeX),
  and PDF-to-LaTeX conversion of handwritten or printed documents (math, business,
  legal, general). Compile script supports pdflatex, xelatex, lualatex with
  auto-detection, latexmk backend, texfot log filtering, PDF/A output, and
  verbosity control (--verbose/--quiet). Empirically optimized scaling: single agent 1-10 pages, split

  a poster, (14) create an exam/quiz, (15) create a book, (16) convert between
  document formats (Markdown, DOCX, HTML to/from LaTeX), (17) generate Mermaid
  diagrams for LaTeX, (18) create a formal business letter, (19) create a cheat
  sheet or reference card, (20) create an exam formula sheet or crib sheet,
  (21) condense lecture notes/PDFs into a cheat sheet,
  (22) create a fillable PDF form with text fields/checkboxes/dropdowns,
  (23) create a document with conditional content/toggles (show/hide sections),

# LaTeX Document Skill

Create any LaTeX document, compile to PDF, and generate PNG previews. Convert PDFs of any type to LaTeX.

## Workflow: Create Documents

1. Determine document type (resume, report, letter, invoice, article, thesis, academic CV, presentation, poster, exam, book, cheat sheet)
2. **If the target is an IEEE journal / Transactions / IEEE two-column paper:** Read [references/ieee-journal-twocolumn-guide.md](references/ieee-journal-twocolumn-guide.md) before choosing a template. Start from `examples/ieee-twocolumn-sample.tex` for a working IEEEtran baseline and use `examples/ieee-twocolumn.png` / `examples/ieee-twocolumn-p1.png` / `examples/ieee-twocolumn-p2.png` as visual references.
3. **If poster:** Run the poster sub-workflow (see [Poster Sub-Workflow](#poster-sub-workflow) below), then skip to step 5.
4. **If cheat sheet / reference card:** Run the cheat sheet sub-workflow (see [Cheat Sheet / Reference Card Sub-Workflow](#cheat-sheet--reference-card-sub-workflow) below), then skip to step 5.
5. **Ask the user which enrichment elements they want** (use AskUserQuestion tool with multiSelect). Offer relevant options based on document type:
   - **AI-generated images** -- custom illustrations, diagrams, photos (uses generate-image skill)
   - **Charts/graphs** -- bar, line, pie, scatter, heatmap (pgfplots or matplotlib)
   - **Flowcharts/diagrams** -- process flows, architecture, decision trees (TikZ or Mermaid)
   - **Citations/bibliography** -- academic references, footnotes, works cited (BibTeX/biblatex)
   - **Tables with data** -- comparison matrices, financial data, statistics (booktabs)
   - **Watermarks** -- DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, or company logo background
   - Skip this step for simple documents (cover letters, invoices) or when the user has already specified exactly what they want.
6. Copy the appropriate template from `assets/templates/` or write from scratch
7. Customize content based on user requirements
8. Generate external assets based on user's element choices:
   - AI images: `python3 <skill_path>/../generate-image/scripts/generate_image.py "prompt" --output ./outputs/figure.png`
   - matplotlib char
