# LaTeX Document Compilation > Default compilation skill for all LaTeX documents. Compiles with autonomous error detection and resolution (up to 5 iterations), runs a citation audit on clean builds, and produces a quality score. ## When to Use - **Default method** for all LaTeX compilation - Any `.tex` file that should compile to PDF - When compilation fails and you want automatic diagnosis and repair - When you want a post-compilation citation audit ## When NOT to Use - Markdown documents — use plain markdown, not LaTeX - Quick notes or drafts — LaTeX overhead not worth it - Documents that don't need citations, equations, or precise formatting - Documents with exotic custom classes that need manual debugging --- ## Quality Scoring Apply numeric quality scoring using the shared framework and skill-specific rubric: - **Framework:** [`../shared/quality-scoring.md`](../shared/quality-scoring.md) — severity tiers, thresholds, verdict rules - **Rubric:** [`references/quality-rubric.md`](references/quality-rubric.md) — issue-to-deduction mappings for this skill Start at 100, deduct per issue found, apply verdict. Include the Score Block in the final report. ## Critical Rules 1. **Build artifacts go to `out/`, PDF stays in the source directory.** Use this skill's fail-closed canonical bundle at `templates/build-config/.latexmkrc`; do not hand-write an `END { system(...) }` copy block because it can mask latexmk's failure status and copy stale PDFs.
