LaTeX Authoring and Toolchain Operations

Intent Router

Load sections based on the task:

• Package choice or source structure -> references/packages-and-patterns.md
• Engine selection or build orchestration -> references/engines-and-toolchain.md
• Compile failures and log triage -> references/error-triage.md

Overview

This skill covers LaTeX as both a writing system and a build toolchain. Use it for document structure, mathematics, tables, bibliographies, engine selection, compile automation, and error diagnosis.

The guidance follows learnlatex, the LaTeX Project documentation, TeX FAQ material, and the CTAN latexmk documentation.
