Venue Templates

If you're writing for Nature, submitting to NeurIPS, or drafting an NSF proposal, this gives you LaTeX templates and formatting requirements for 50+ journals, major ML and CS conferences, research posters, and federal grants. It covers the Nature portfolio, Science family, PLOS, IEEE, ACM, plus conferences like ICML and CVPR. The grant side includes NSF 15-page specs, NIH R01 templates, DOE and DARPA formats. It also pushes you to add diagrams via the scientific-schematics skill, which is smart since most academic writing benefits from visual explanation. Saves you from hunting down submission guidelines across a dozen different publisher websites.

Venue Templates

Prepare publication and funding documents without treating stale formatting details as authoritative. This skill combines:

a verification-first workflow for current venue rules;
bundled LaTeX scaffolds for a small, explicit set of document types;
writing-style and reviewer-expectation guides; and
local helpers for discovering, copying, and inspecting templates.

Mandatory Currency Rule

Venue requirements are time-sensitive. Before giving exact page limits, deadlines, style-file names, anonymity rules, or required sections:

Identify the exact venue, year or funding cycle, track, and article or proposal type.
Open the official author instructions, call, solicitation, notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), or policy guide.
Record the source URL and the date checked.
Distinguish initial submission, revision/rebuttal, and camera-ready rules.
Treat bundled files as scaffolds unless this skill explicitly says they are a copy of an official template.

Never infer a current style-file name by changing the year in an old filename. Never present a generic scaffold as an official venue template.
