What it does

  • Verification-first workflow: pins down the exact venue, year/cycle, track, document type, and submission stage, then requires you to record the official author-instructions URL and the date checked. It explicitly forbids guessing a new style-file name by bumping the year in an old one.
  • Bundled LaTeX scaffolds: Nature-oriented draft, PLOS ONE, a NeurIPS wrapper, Elsevier elsarticle examples (numeric, name-year, Harvard), NSF proposal and NIH Specific Aims drafts, plus a venue-agnostic beamerposter file — all clearly labeled as scaffolds, not official templates.
  • Writing-style and reviewer guides: reference docs for Nature/Science, Cell Press, medical journals, ML/CV conferences, ACL/EMNLP/CHI, reviewer expectations, and rebuttals.
  • Helper scripts: query_template.py to list bundled assets, customize_template.py to copy and fill title/authors, validate_format.py to inspect PDF page counts and embedded fonts.
  • Final compliance checklist: anonymity, page-limit scope, required statements, PDF metadata leaks, and portal preview.

Who it's for

  • Grad students and researchers submitting to ICML, NeurIPS, CVPR, ACL who re-check formatting rules every deadline.
  • Authors matching journal-specific format and prose style for Nature, Cell Press, Elsevier, or PLOS.
  • PIs and research administrators assembling NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, or foundation proposals.
  • Presenters producing conference posters who need current size and file-format rules.

Examples

  1. "Summarize ICML 2026 main-track initial submission rules" → opens the official author instructions and writes a compliance note (8-page main text, anonymity required, official style package link).
  2. "Start a NeurIPS draft" → python scripts/customize_template.py --template neurips_article.tex --output my_neurips_2026_paper.tex, then download the official neurips_2026.sty before compiling.
  3. "Check whether my NSF proposal exceeds 15 pages" → validate_format.py --file proposal.pdf --max-pages 15 --check page-count,fonts --report validation.txt for a page/font report.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/venue-templates folder from the GitHub repo K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/venue-templates/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/venue-templates ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS, WSL or Git Bash on Windows).
  2. Confirm Python 3.11+ with python3 --version; upgrade if needed.
  3. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git
  4. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  5. Copy just this skill: cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/venue-templates ~/.claude/skills/
  6. Optional: install TeX Live/MacTeX for LaTeX compilation and Poppler (brew install poppler or apt install poppler-utils) for PDF inspection.
  7. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "check ICML 2026 formatting rules" or "draft an NIH Specific Aims page".
  8. To run scripts manually: cd ~/.claude/skills/venue-templates then python scripts/query_template.py --list-all.
