What it does

Your paper, rebuilt in a different journal's template without retyping it. Give it your LaTeX file and the folder for the new template. The skill compares the layouts, such as single column against double, and writes a Python script that pulls out your sections and drops them into the new file. It then fixes the usual problems: theorem and math environment names, float placement the new class does not allow, figure paths that moved, and tables too wide for narrow columns. Finally it builds with pdflatex and bibtex and reads the log to clear errors until the paper compiles. You need a LaTeX install and Python.

You give it

Your source .tex file
The new template folder
Figures and bibliography files
Target journal name (optional)

You get

A converted .tex file
A script you can rerun
A compiled PDF
A list of fixes made

Use it when

Your paper was rejected and you must resubmit in another journal's format.
A conference gave you a new template and a short deadline.
Your tables overflow after moving to a two-column layout.

How to use it

Add it to your AI once: download it and add the folder to Claude, ChatGPT or Codex as a skill.
Ask for the job in your own words. Your AI opens the skill when it fits.
It works best when your AI can run code and save files.
