SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python-docx, json, re, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates the time-consuming, trial-and-error formatting work needed to make an academic manuscript match a specific journal or target style, especially when you only have a sample paper (范文) to follow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Style-rule extraction from a sample paper: analyzes the target journal’s layout, fonts, headings, spacing, captions, and references from both Word (.docx) and LaTeX (.tex) samples.
  • Manuscript parsing into structured content: converts a user manuscript into sections, abstract, keywords, references, and other components so formatting can be applied consistently.
  • Reformatting to the desired output format: generates a reformatted Word (.docx) or LaTeX (.tex) file using the extracted style rules, supporting both Chinese and English conventions (including GB/T 7714-2015 citation handling).

Quick Start

Provide a journal sample paper (范文) as a .docx or .tex file, then provide your manuscript and specify the desired output format (.docx or .tex) so the skill extracts the style rules and produces a reformatted draft.
