name: whiteboard_to_latex description: Extracts content from a whiteboard image, converts it to academic LaTeX matching the user's existing note style, and saves it. Use when the user provides a whiteboard image requiring conversion to LaTeX notes.

Whiteboard to LaTeX Conversion

This skill converts whiteboard images into LaTeX notes that seamlessly integrate with the user's current notebook.

Core Resources

• Style Guide: references/style_guide.md - Strictly defines the valid environments and structure.
• Template: assets/note_template.tex - Standard note structure with all allowed environments.
• Script: scripts/update_main_index.py - Automatically ensures the new note is included in the main document.

Workflow

1. Preparation

1. Context Check: Confirm the user has created the target file (e.g., L/L26.tex) with the basic \section{Notes X...} header. If not, ask them to, or do it if explicitly requested.
2. Style Loading: Read references/style_guide.md to load the allowed theorem environments and formatting rules into context. Do not hallucinate new environments.
3. Template Reference: Optionally review assets/note_template.tex for standard environment usage patterns and formatting examples.

2. Vision & Transcription

1. Analyze Image:
   • Identify headers, main theorems, proofs, and examples.
   • Transcribe text verbatim.
   • Convert math to standard LaTeX.
2. Construct Content:
   • Use the environments from the Style Guide (theorem, definition, remark, etc.).
   • Important: Follow the Proof Handling rule in the style guide (e.g., comment out proofs if required).
   • Fragments Only: Do NOT write \documentclass or preamble. Only write the content body.

3. File Writing

Use replace_file_content (or write_to_file if overwriting) to populate the target L/LX.tex (or T/TX.tex) file.

4. Integration & Verification

1. Update Index:
   • Run scripts/update_main_index.py to ensure the new file is \input in ODE.tex.

   • Copy./.agent/skills/whiteboard_to_latex/scripts/update_main_index.py L
     # Or
     ./.agent/skills/whiteboard_to_latex/scripts/update_main_index.py T
     

2. Verify:
   • Check if the file content looks correct (balanced braces, correct environments).
   • Report back to the user: "Populated Notes X. Added to ODE.tex."
