Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionvenue-templatesExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches venue-templates from davila7/claude-code-templates and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate venue-templates. Access via /venue-templates in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues, academic conferences, research posters, and grant proposals. This skill provides ready-to-use templates and detailed specifications for successful academic submissions across disciplines.
Use this skill when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
This skill should be used when:
When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.
If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:
For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.
How to generate schematics:
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png
The AI will automatically:
When to add schematics:
For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.

Determine the specific publication venue, conference, or funding agency:
Example queries:
- "I need to submit to Nature"
- "What are the requirements for NeurIPS 2025?"
- "Show me NSF proposal formatting"
- "I'm creating a poster for ISMB"
Access venue-specific templates and formatting guidelines:
For Journals:
# Load journal formatting requirements
Reference: references/journals_formatting.md
Search for: "Nature" or specific journal name
# Retrieve template
Template: assets/journals/nature_article.tex
For Conferences:
# Load conference formatting
Reference: references/conferences_formatting.md
Search for: "NeurIPS" or specific conference
# Retrieve template
Template: assets/journals/neurips_article.tex
For Posters:
# Load poster guidelines
Reference: references/posters_guidelines.md
# Retrieve template
Template: assets/posters/beamerposter_academic.tex
For Grants:
# Load grant requirements
Reference: references/grants_requirements.md
Search for: "NSF" or specific agency
# Retrieve template
Template: assets/grants/nsf_proposal_template.tex
Check critical specifications before customizing:
Key Requirements to Verify:
Use helper scripts or manual customization:
Option 1: Helper Script (Recommended):
python scripts/customize_template.py \
--template assets/journals/nature_article.tex \
--title "Your Paper Title" \
--authors "First Author, Second Author" \
--affiliations "University Name" \
--output my_nature_paper.tex
Option 2: Manual Editing:
Check compliance with venue requirements:
python scripts/validate_format.py \
--file my_paper.pdf \
--venue "Nature" \
--check-all
Validation Checks:
Compile LaTeX and review output:
# Compile LaTeX
pdflatex my_paper.tex
bibtex my_paper
pdflatex my_paper.tex
pdflatex my_paper.tex
# Or use latexmk for automated compilation
latexmk -pdf my_paper.tex

Steps
Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
