Cas d'usage

Usages concrets : thesis-skills

Migrate a Word-format thesis draft into LaTeX without remapping 300 citations by hand

👤 Chinese graduate students switching to LaTeX late in the game ⏱ ~120 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : You wrote in Word, adviser demands LaTeX, deadline is in two weeks.

Prérequis

Skill cloned — git clone https://github.com/quzhiii/thesis-skills ~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills
Zotero/EndNote export of your library — Export .bib from Zotero or use EndNote XML

Déroulement

Import the bibliography

Use thesis-skills — import my Zotero .bib and cross-reference with the Word doc's citations.✓ Copié

→ Every Word citation mapped to a .bib entry; gaps flagged
Convert the body

Now convert Chapter 1 of thesis.docx to LaTeX preserving structure and citations.✓ Copié

→ Clean .tex with \cite{} keys, not numeric citations
Enable Citation Lock

Turn on Citation Lock before I start rearranging sections.✓ Copié

→ Confirmation + a note on how to verify numbering integrity

Résultat : A LaTeX draft with every citation key intact and a safety net against renumbering bugs.

Pièges

Cross-references to figures/tables break during conversion — Run the rule-pack validation pass afterward — it catches dead refs

Combiner avec : filesystem

Validate thesis formatting against a specific university's YAML rule pack

👤 Students with university-specific format requirements ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : Final submission is next week; format committee rejects on trivia.

Déroulement

Point at the rule pack

thesis-skills — validate thesis.tex against the Tsinghua rule pack.✓ Copié

→ Per-rule pass/fail with line references
Apply patches

For each safe-level fix, show the span-based patch preview and apply.✓ Copié

→ Previews show exact before/after; applied only when text matches

Résultat : A format-compliant thesis without the typical 3 rounds of committee rejections.

Cross-file Chinese/English language QA on the whole thesis

👤 Students writing in a second language or mixing ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : Final polish; spell-check isn't enough.

Déroulement

Run sentence-aware screening

thesis-skills — full-thesis language screening. Flag connector misuse and acronym inconsistency.✓ Copié

→ Issues grouped by type, not raw grammar noise
Apply chosen fixes

Apply the 'safe' level fixes; preview 'risky' ones for my review.✓ Copié

→ Tiered application so you stay in control

Résultat : Consistent terminology and tone across all chapters.

Combinaisons

Associez-le à d'autres MCPs pour un effet X10

thesis-skill + filesystem

Operate across the whole thesis tree, not just one file

Run language screen across all .tex files under thesis/.✓ Copié

thesis-skill + github

Commit each phase (bib import, chapter convert, format fix) as its own revertable step

Commit after each conversion phase so rollback is trivial.✓ Copié

Outils

Ce que ce MCP expose

Outil	Entrées	Quand appeler
import_bibliography	path to .bib / EndNote XML	Start of any migration
word_to_latex	chapter path + bib state	Converting body content
citation_lock	enable / verify	Before structural edits
rule_pack_validate	thesis path + pack name	Before submission
language_screen	thesis path + scope	Final polish

Coût et limites

Coût d'exécution

Quota d'API: None
Tokens par appel: Can be large — full-thesis scans
Monétaire: Free — skills are local files
Astuce: Scope by chapter when possible; full-thesis scans eat context.

Sécurité

Permissions, secrets, portée

Stockage des identifiants : No credentials — pure prompts

Sortie de données : None — thesis stays local

Your thesis is sensitive IP; don't feed snippets to external services.
Always commit before applying auto-fixes — the Citation Lock and span patches are safe but not magical.

Dépannage

Erreurs courantes et correctifs

Skill not invoked — Claude does generic Pandoc conversion

Say 'use thesis-skills' explicitly; Pandoc doesn't do citation lock or rule-pack validation.

Vérifier : ls ~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills/SKILL.md

SKILL.md frontmatter wrong

Re-clone; description drives activation.

Vérifier : head ~/.claude/skills/thesis-skills/SKILL.md

Wrong trigger keywords — language screen misses cross-file issues

Pass 'full-thesis' scope explicitly rather than per-chapter.

Alternatives

thesis-skills vs autres

Alternative	Quand l'utiliser	Compromis
Pandoc	Generic Word↔LaTeX conversion without citation intelligence	No citation locking, no rule packs
Manual migration	Thesis is short	Hours of remapping citations
