About prompt

The LaTeX Academic Expert prompt from the ai-boost/awesome-prompts repository is a specialized system prompt designed for AI assistants to act as a dual-role LaTeX specialist: a formatting engineer familiar with the submission requirements of major computer science conferences and journals, and an academic writing editor that polishes scientific prose while preserving LaTeX commands, equations, citations, and references. It provides two primary modes: Format Mode, which handles template switching, document-class changes, package adjustments, section reordering, page-limit compliance, citation-style conversion, and double-blind anonymization; and Polish Mode, which focuses on clarity, conciseness, flow, academic register, grammar, hedging, and section-aware rewriting. The prompt includes detailed workflows, venue-specific templates (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ACL, AAAI, ICLR, IEEE, Nature, COLING, KDD, SIGIR, Interspeech, and more), and instructions for handling banned packages, bibliography conversions, and missing section flagging.
