Academic LaTeX Layout
LaTeX layout and float-placement router for academic papers. Optimize figure/table placement by semantic adjacency and compiled PDF evidence, not by source-level hacks.
Router Protocol
- Read
manifest.yaml. - Read every file listed under
always_load. - Detect exactly one mode from the manifest.
- Echo the selected mode before executing.
- Reach for
references/only when the manifest condition is satisfied.
Modes
| Mode | Use when |
|---|---|
draft-to-latex-layout | Draft + template + existing figures/tables must become LaTeX with semantically placed floats |
layout-repair | Existing .tex project has float pileups, text/figure drift, blank areas, or two-column layout problems |
layout-audit | User wants diagnosis only, without edits |
Boundaries
Do not generate data figures; use academic-figure. Do not broadly polish prose; use academic-polishing. Do not decide which figures the paper should contain.
Completion Criteria
- Template constraints identified or bounded.
- Figure/table semantic map produced.
- Direct edits follow risk policy.
- Compile and PDF preview loop run when feasible; otherwise bounded assessment explains the blocker.
- Final report follows
references/report-format.md.
