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:

1. Identify the exact venue, year or funding cycle, track, and article or proposal type.
2. Open the official author instructions, call, solicitation, notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), or policy guide.
3. Record the source URL and the date checked.
4. Distinguish initial submission, revision/rebuttal, and camera-ready rules.
5. 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.
