What it does
Hand it scrawled notes, a scanned textbook or a CSV and describe what you want in plain English; it produces compiled PDFs — lecture notes with proper equations and TikZ diagrams, a two-page cheat sheet from a 162-page book, a thesis, a poster — across 27 templates. Verify everything before submitting: transcription of handwriting and of mathematics both fail in ways that read as confident. Scanned copyrighted material stays yours to study, not to redistribute. No licence file was found.

latex-document-skill FAQ

- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does latex-document-skill work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use latex-document-skill commercially?
- We could not confirm this. The publisher does not state it clearly, so we have not verified whether what you make with it may be used commercially. Ask the publisher before relying on it.
