Universal document converter between dozens of formats including Markdown, Word, HTML, LaTeX and EPUB, with templates, citations and Lua filters. PDF output uses LaTeX by default, which you install separately.

Cleans a LaTeX project before arXiv submission: removes comments, auxiliary files and unused .tex files and images, and can compress images, so internal notes are not published with the source. From Google Research; installable with Homebrew on macOS.

Recognizes images or whole PDFs (including scans) with math formulas and tables into Markdown and LaTeX, strong on English and Chinese and supporting 80+ languages, handy for digitizing exams, lecture notes and study notes. An open-source Mathpix alternative that runs locally with Python.

Pre-submission review for CS conference papers (CVPR, ACL, NeurIPS and more): polish, translate or condense on request, or let AI reviewers raise issues and a jury rule on them. Only wording fixes are drafted, with your approval; missing experiments go back to you, never invented. Needs Node.js.

Describe what you need and get a typeset PDF: turn handwritten notes or scanned textbooks into LaTeX handouts and cheat sheets, make exams with answer keys, write papers, theses, posters, resumes and letters. 27 templates plus chart and mail-merge scripts. Needs TeX Live (install script included).

A research plugin for Claude Code: commands like /omp:survey, /omp:experiment and /omp:write chain literature review, topic selection, experiments, writing and self-review, with 5 specialized agents and 34 research skills that remember project progress across sessions. Experiments lean toward ML.

The five-agent PaperOrchestra pipeline (outline, figures, literature review, section writing, polishing) as skills: turns research ideas, experiment logs and a conference template into a LaTeX paper and checks citations via Semantic Scholar. Needs Python; verify the draft yourself.
