# Template Compliance > Compare a research project's LaTeX preamble against the working-paper template bundled with the installed `latex` skill. Classify every difference, produce a scored report, and optionally apply changes interactively. ## When to Use - After the template has been updated and you want to check older papers - Before submission — verify the preamble is clean and up to date - When a paper has mysterious compilation issues (often a stale preamble) - During periodic maintenance or `system-audit` - When starting work on a paper that hasn't been touched in a while ## When NOT to Use - **Setting up a new project** — the separate `init-project-research` workflow copies the template; this skill audits an existing project - **Fixing compilation errors** — use `latex` first, then run this - **Non-LaTeX projects** — this skill is LaTeX-specific --- ## Critical Rules 1. **Never edit without `--apply`.** Default mode is report-only. Without `--apply`, the skill produces a report and exits. 2. **Never auto-apply Conflict items.** Conflicts always require explicit user confirmation via `the available structured-question mechanism`. 3. **Semantic comparison, not line-by-line.** Compare packages, options, commands, and environments as logical units — not raw text diffs. 4. **Preserve project-specific additions.** Items classified as **Keep** are informational. Never suggest removing them unless they conflict with a template feature. 5. **Template is the reference,...
