venue-templates
Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues, academic conferences, research posters, and grant proposals. This skill provides ready-to-use templates and detailed specifications for successful academic submissions across disciplines. It is intended for preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals with venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
How it works
Follows a workflow to identify a target venue, query and retrieve the appropriate template and requirements, review formatting specifications, customize the template via helper scripts or manual edits, validate format with a dedicated script, and compile/review the final document. Concrete steps include:
- Identify Target Venue
- Determine the specific publication venue, conference, or funding agency.
- Use provided example queries to guide selection.
- Query Template and Requirements
- Load venue formatting and retrieve templates via scripted references and templates, such as loading a journal template or conference template.
- Review Formatting Requirements
- Verify page limits, font size, margins, line spacing, citation style, figure/table requirements, file format, and anonymization needs.
- Customize Template
- Option 1: Use a helper script to customize the template with title, authors, affiliations, and output path.
- Option 2: Manually edit the template to fill in title, authors, affiliations, abstract, and content.
- Validate Format
- Run a validation script to check the compiled file against venue requirements and generate a report or perform checks.
- Compile and Review
- Compile LaTeX (pdflatex, bibtex, or latexmk) and review the output for sections, citations, figure captions, and adherence to guidelines.
When to use it
This skill should be used when:
- Preparing a manuscript for submission to a specific journal (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, etc.)
- Writing a conference paper with specific formatting requirements (NeurIPS, ICML, CHI, etc.)
- Creating an academic research poster for conferences
- Drafting grant proposals for federal agencies (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA) or private foundations
- Checking formatting requirements and page limits for target venues
- Customizing templates with author information and project details
- Verifying document compliance with venue specifications
What it can touch
- Templates and assets for journals, conferences, posters, and grants (e.g., references, assets, scripts) as part of the workflow
- Helper scripts: customize_template.py, query_template.py, validate_format.py
- Commands and file names exactly as described in the workflow, including usage examples
Caveats
- License: MIT license
- Declared tools: claude-code (implied workflow snippets reference Python-based scripts)
- Content reflects provided venue templates and formatting guidelines; no guarantees of template currency or venue rule changes beyond stated steps

What does the venue-templates skill do?
Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add LeonChaoX/qinyan-academic-skills --skill venue-templates --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From LeonChaoX/qinyan-academic-skills, a repository with 759 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
