# LaTeX Polish — Source Lint + Vision-On-Rendered-PDF > Heavier-weight visual-quality review than `latex`. Combines the Phase 4 source-pathology lint with vision-model inspection of selected rendered PDF pages. Designed to catch the failure class that `latex` Phase 4 source-grep misses: blank pages, clipped tables, illegible shrunken figures, weird title-page line spacing that the regex couldn't fingerprint, bad float placement, overlap. ## When to Use - Pre-submission visual check on a paper, proposal, thesis, or deck - After major restructuring (new sections, table re-layouts, figure swaps) when you want eyes on the rendered output - When `latex` reports a clean build but something still "looks weird" - When preparing for a panel / supervisor read where presentation matters ## When NOT to Use | Need | Use instead | |------|-------------| | Compile-fix loop | `latex` | | Citation audit | `latex` (Phase 5) or `bib-validate` | | Prose / academic-argument review | `proofread` | | Single-figure analysis | `figure-feedback` | | Continuous integration | This skill renders + vision-inspects pages; too expensive to run on every save | ## Inputs - **`.tex` path** — auto-discovered or user-provided. Prefer the user's argument. - **PDF path** — assumed at `<project>/<basename>.pdf` (per `latex` convention). If absent or older than `.tex`, the skill aborts and suggests `latex` first. - **`--no-vision`** — skip the vision-rendering phases (Page rendering onward), run the source-pa...
