Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by brycewang-stanford on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Translate To Quarto AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills/tree/main/skills/12-pedrohcgs-claude-code-my-workflow/dot-claude/skills/translate-to-quarto
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills.git /tmp/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills/skills/12-pedrohcgs-claude-code-my-workflow/dot-claude/skills/translate-to-quarto .claude/skills/translate-to-quarto

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Translate To Quarto in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Translate To Quarto on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Translate To Quarto is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Beamer → Quarto Translation Workflow

Full translation of a Beamer LaTeX lecture to Quarto RevealJS HTML slides.

CRITICAL: The Beamer .tex file is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH.

Phase 0: Pre-Flight Checks

0A. Environment Parity Audit

Scan Beamer for all custom environments. Verify CSS equivalents exist in your theme SCSS. If any are missing, create them FIRST.

0B. TikZ Freshness Verification

Run /extract-tikz to verify SVGs match current Beamer source.

0C. RDS Data Inventory

List all RDS files needed for interactive charts.

0D. Citation Key Mapping

Extract all citations from Beamer, map to bibliography keys.

Phase 1: Pre-Translation Preparation

Read complete Beamer source, count frames
Inventory figures (TikZ → SVG, R plots → plotly, other → SVG)

Phase 2: Create QMD File with YAML Header

Standard RevealJS YAML with theme, logo, footer, bibliography
Setup chunk for R data loading if needed

Phase 3: Slide-by-Slide Translation

Delegate to beamer-translator agent
1:1 frame-to-slide mapping
Verbatim math, environment parity, no font reduction

Phase 4: TikZ Diagram Integration

Reference extracted SVGs with 0-based indexing.

Phase 5: R Figure Integration (Plotly-First)

Interactive plotly from RDS data, static SVG for TikZ/complex figures.

Phase 6: First Render & Content Fidelity Check

Render, count slides, go through EVERY slide checking for issues.

Phase 6.5: Pedagogical Review

Run pedagogy-reviewer before visual polish.

Phase 7: Visual Polish

Semantic colors, transition slides, framing sentences.

Phase 8: Proofreading

Run /proofread on the QMD file.

Phase 9: Final Verification & Deployment

Render, open in browser, verify all elements.

Phase 10: Beamer Source Sync

Apply any corrections back to Beamer source.

Phase 11: Documentation

Update CLAUDE.md, session log, create PR.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Translate To Quarto AI skill do?

Translate Beamer LaTeX to Quarto RevealJS. Multi-phase workflow with TikZ extraction and QA.

Why use Translate To Quarto on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Translate To Quarto is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Translate To Quarto in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills/tree/main/skills/12-pedrohcgs-claude-code-my-workflow/dot-claude/skills/translate-to-quarto. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Translate To Quarto?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Translate To Quarto?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Translate To Quarto with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Translate To Quarto AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by brycewang-stanford. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
