evo-latex-formula-extraction

Extract display-mode LaTeX formulas from PDF research papers. Use when the task requires identifying all display-mode (own-line) formulas from a PDF, extracting them as LaTeX, cleaning tags/punctuation, detecting bracket mismatches and misspelled commands, and outputting original + fixed formulas in markdown format.

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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Zhang-Henry on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Evo Latex Formula Extraction 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/Zhang-Henry/CoEvoSkills/tree/main/artifacts/skills/latex-formula-extraction/evo-latex-formula-extraction
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/Zhang-Henry/CoEvoSkills.git /tmp/CoEvoSkills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/CoEvoSkills/artifacts/skills/latex-formula-extraction/evo-latex-formula-extraction .claude/skills/evo-latex-formula-extraction

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Evo Latex Formula Extraction 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 Evo Latex Formula Extraction 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 Evo Latex Formula Extraction 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.

LaTeX Formula Extraction from PDF

This skill extracts display-mode LaTeX formulas from PDF research papers, cleans them, validates bracket matching, and produces a markdown output file.

Workflow

Extract: Use marker-pdf to convert PDF to markdown (preserves LaTeX formulas)
Detect: Use surya layout detection to find equation bounding boxes
Cross-reference: Use texify on cropped equation regions for verification
Clean: Remove \tag{}, trailing equation numbers, trailing commas/periods
Validate: Check bracket matching (\left/\right pairs) and command spelling
Fix: Generate corrected versions for formulas with syntax errors
Output: Write original formulas followed by fixed versions

Key Functions

extract_formulas_with_marker(pdf_path, output_dir) - Extract formulas via marker-pdf
detect_equation_bboxes(pdf_path) - Find equation regions using surya layout
extract_formulas_with_texify(pdf_path, bboxes) - Extract formulas from cropped regions
clean_formula(formula) - Remove tags, numbers, punctuation
validate_brackets(formula) - Check \left/\right delimiter matching
fix_bracket_mismatches(formula) - Fix mismatched delimiter pairs
check_misspelled_commands(formula) - Detect misspelled LaTeX commands
run_extraction_pipeline(pdf_path, output_path) - End-to-end entry point
validate_output(output_path) - Validate output file format

Usage Example

python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/app/environment/skills/evo-latex-formula-extraction/scripts')
from utils import run_extraction_pipeline, validate_output

# Run the full pipeline
pdf_path = '/root/latex_paper.pdf'
output_path = '/root/latex_formula_extraction.md'

original, fixed = run_extraction_pipeline(pdf_path, output_path)

# Validate the output
validate_output(output_path)

Important Notes

Only display-mode formulas (on their own line) are extracted, not inline math
Bracket validation covers: (), [], \{\}, \langle\rangle, |, \|
Fix only syntax/typographical errors, never mathematical content
Original erroneous formulas are kept; fixed versions are appended after all originals
Deduplication is applied to avoid repeated formulas

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Evo Latex Formula Extraction AI skill do?

Why use Evo Latex Formula Extraction on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Evo Latex Formula Extraction 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 Evo Latex Formula Extraction in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Zhang-Henry/CoEvoSkills/tree/main/artifacts/skills/latex-formula-extraction/evo-latex-formula-extraction. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Evo Latex Formula Extraction?

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 Evo Latex Formula Extraction?

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

Is the Evo Latex Formula Extraction AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Zhang-Henry under the Apache-2.0 license. 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.
