Automatically write empirical sections of academic papers in LaTeX by reading tables/figures from a PDF.

One of 9 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
After assembling `main.tex` and including table `.tex` files from the `results/` directory, what step must be performed on table cross-references before finalizing the manuscript?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |

| Directs extracting labels from results table files to synchronize all in-text cross-references. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
This skill writes the empirical sections of an academic finance/economics paper in LaTeX format. The user provides a PDF containing all tables and figures. The skill reads each table/figure sequentially, asks the user for the desired word count, then writes that section following established academic writing conventions.
Scope: Introduction, Literature Review, Hypothesis Development (verbal or theoretical model), research design sections (Data and Sample, Variable Construction, Empirical Model), empirical results, and conclusion. Does NOT write: Institutional Background.
$ARGUMENTS or ask).pages: "1-20").I have identified the following tables/figures and mapped them to sections:
Section | Tables/Figures | Default Words
---------------------------------|-------------------|-------------
Descriptive Statistics | Table 1, Fig 1-2 | 400
Baseline Regression | Table 2 | 650
Endogeneity | Table 3 | 800
Robustness Checks | Table 4-6 | 1000
Cross-sectional Heterogeneity | Table 7-8 | 500 per dimension
Mechanism Analysis | Table 9 | 600 per mechanism
Alternative Explanation | Table 10 | 750
Further Analysis | Table 11 | 650
Conclusion | (no table) | 350
Shall I proceed with this plan, or would you like to adjust?
main.tex).\label{} from table/figure .tex files for label synchronization.IMPORTANT — Writing Order vs. Document Order:
The writing order follows the logic of academic paper development (empirical results first, then build context around them). The document order is the standard paper structure. These are different:
test cases passed, vs 8 / 23 without
