Product Guidance
- The primary PaperFit experience is natural-language-first.
- Users should describe goals directly, for example:
/paperfit Analyze this paper's layout/paperfit Repair the layout issues in this project/paperfit Migrate this paper to CVPRUse PaperFit to inspect the visual layout before making changes
- Expert shortcut commands remain available, but they are not the only valid entry path.
- Internal commands such as
paperfit run,paperfit runtime, andpaperfit renderare execution details for the agent, not the main user interface.
Available Claude Commands
| Command | Role |
|---|---|
/paperfit | Unified natural-language entry for analysis, repair, migration, length adjustment, table repair, status, and undo routing |
/fix-layout | Expert shortcut for the full VTO closed loop |
/check-visual | Expert shortcut for visual-only inspection |
/repair-table | Expert shortcut for table-focused repair |
/adjust-length | Expert shortcut for page-budget adjustment |
/migrate-template | Expert shortcut for template migration |
/show-status | Status and summary query |
/paperfit-priority | Priority explanation and override |
/paperfit-undo | Roll back the latest automatic write |
How To Use In Claude Code
- Restart Claude Code or reload the window after installation.
- Open the paper project root.
- Prefer a natural-language request through
/paperfitor a direct natural-language prompt. - Use expert shortcut commands only when you want to force a specific PaperFit task type.
Examples:
/paperfit Analyze the layout of aaai24_antibody.tex
/paperfit Repair this paper's layout with minimal semantic changes
/fix-layout --target-pages 9 --strict
/check-visual
Operational Notes
- Post-edit hooks may auto-compile
.texfiles depending on the installed Claude settings. - Stop hooks may print a state summary at session end depending on the installed Claude settings.
- If a command is not visible after install, confirm you are in the correct project directory and reload Claude Code.
- If execution fails, check Claude permissions and confirm Poppler and LaTeX are installed.
Recommended Verification
After installation, verify the product path with one of these:
/paperfit Analyze this paper's layout
/show-status
If those work, the Claude-side PaperFit entrypoints are correctly installed.
