name latex-conference-template-organizer description Organize messy conference LaTeX template .zip files into clean Overleaf-ready structure. Use when the user asks to "organize LaTeX template", "clean up .zip template", or "prepare Overleaf submission template". version 0.1.0 LaTeX Conference Template Organizer Overview Transform messy conference LaTeX template .zip files into clean, Overleaf-ready submission templates. Official conference templates often contain excessive example content, instructional comments, and disorganized file structures. This skill converts them into templates ready for writing. Working Mode Analyze-then-confirm mode : First analyze issues and present them to the user, then execute cleanup after confirmation. Complete Workflow Receive .zip file ↓ 1. Extract and analyze file structure ↓ 2. Identify main file and dependencies ↓ 3. Diagnose issues (present to user) ↓ 4. Ask for conference info (link/name) ↓ 5. Wait for user confirmation of cleanup plan ↓ 6. Execute cleanup, create output directory ↓ 7. Generate README (with official website info) ↓ 8. Output complete Step 1: Extract and Analyze Extract Files Extract .zip to a temporary directory: unzip -q template.zip -d /tmp/latex-template-temp cd /tmp/latex-template-temp find . - type f -name "*.tex" -o -name "*.sty" -o -name "*.cls" -o -name "*.bib" Identify File Types File Type Purpose .tex LaTeX source files .sty / .cls Style files .bib Bibliography database .pdf / .png / .jpg Image files Identify Main File Common main file names: main.tex paper.tex document.tex sample-sigconf.tex template.tex Identification methods: Check if filename matches common patterns Search for files containing \documentclass If multiple candidates exist, ask user to confirm # Find files containing \documentclass grep -l "\\documentclass" *.tex Step 2: Diagnose Issues Present discovered issues to the user: Disorganized File Structure Multi-level directory nesting .tex files scattered across directories Unclear which file is the main file Redundant Content Detect the following patterns and flag for cleanup: Filenames containing: sample , example , demo , test Comments containing: sample , example , template , delete this Dependency Issues Referenced .sty / .cls files missing Image/table reference paths incorrect Step 3: Ask for Conference Information Ask the user for the following information: Please provide the following information (optional): 1. **Conference submission link** (recommended): Used to extract official submission requirements 2. **Conference name** : If no link available 3. **Other special requirements** : Such as page limits, anonymity requirements, etc. Step 4: Present Cleanup Plan Present the cleanup plan to the user and wait for confirmation: ## Cleanup Plan ### Issues Found - [List diagnosed issues] ### Cleanup Approach 1. Main file: main.tex (clean example content) 2. Section separation: text/ directory 3. Resource directories: figures/, tables/, styles/ ### Output Structure [Show output directory structure] Confirm execution? [Y/n] Step 5: Execute Cleanup Create Output Directory Structure mkdir -p output/{text,figures,tables,styles} Clean Up Main File (main.tex) Keep: \documentclass declaration Required package imports Core configuration (e.g., anonymous mode) Remove: Example section content Verbose instructional comments Example author/title information Add: Import sections with \input{text/XX-section} Example main.tex structure (ACM template standard format): \documentclass[...]{...} % Keep original template document class % Required packages (keep original template package declarations) %% ============================================================================ %% Preamble: Before \begin{document} %% ============================================================================ %% Title and author information \title{Your Paper Title} \author{Author Name} \affiliation{...} %% Abstract (in preamble, before \maketitle) \begin{abstract} % TODO: Write abstract content \end{abstract} %% CCS Concepts and Keywords (in preamble) \begin{CCSXML} <ccs2012> <concept> <concept_id>10010405.10010444.10010447</concept_id> <concept_desc>Applied computing~...</concept_desc> <concept_significance>500</concept_significance> </concept> </ccs2012> \end{CCSXML} \ccsdesc[500]{Applied computing~...} \keywords{keyword1, keyword2, keyword3} %% ============================================================================ %% Document Body %% ============================================================================ \begin{document} \maketitle %% Section content (imported from text/) \input{text/01-introduction} \input{text/02-related-work} \input{text/03-method} \input{text/04-experiments} \input{text/05-conclusion} \bibliographystyle{...} \bibliography{references} \end{document} KDD 2026 Anonymous Submission Special Configuration For KDD 2026 (using ACM acmart template), add the nonacm option to the document class to remove footnotes: %% ============================================================================ %% Document Class - KDD 2026 Anonymous Submission Configuration %% Submission version: \documentclass[sigconf,anonymous,review,nonacm]{acmart} %% Camera-ready: \documentclass[sigconf]{acmart} %% ============================================================================ \documentclass[sigconf,anonymous,review,nonacm]{acmart} %% ============================================================================ %% Disable ACM metadata (submission version only) %% ============================================================================ \settopmatter{printacmref=false} % Disable ACM Reference Format \setcopyright{none} % Disable copyright notice \acmConference[]{}{}{} % Clear conference info (removes footnote) \acmYear{} % Clear year \acmISBN{} % Clear ISBN \acmDOI{} % Clear DOI %% Content to restore for camera-ready version: %% \acmConference[KDD '26]{Proceedings of the 30th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining}{August 09--13, 2026}{Jeju, Korea} %% \acmISBN{978-1-4503-XXXX-X/26/08} %% \acmDOI{10.1145/nnnnnnn.nnnnnnn} Create Section Files (text/) Create independent .tex files for each section, containing only section content without \begin{document} etc.: text/01-introduction.tex : \section{Introduction} % TODO: Write introduction content text/02-related-work.tex : \section{Related Work} % TODO: Write related work content text/03-method.tex : \section{Method} % TODO: Write method content text/04-experiments.tex : \section{Experiments} % TODO: Write experiments content text/05-conclusion.tex : \section{Conclusion} % TODO: Write conclusion content Important notes: Abstract should be placed in main.tex preamble (before \begin{document} ), after \maketitle Files in text/ contain only sections , starting with \section{...} Do not include \begin{document} or other wrappers in text/ files Copy Style Files (styles/) Copy all .sty and .cls files from the original template to styles/ : find /tmp/latex-template-temp - type f \( -name "*.sty" -o -name "*.cls" \) - exec cp {} output/styles/ \; Note: Maintain the original template's directory structure (e.g., acmart/ ), only move to styles/ .
