Individual skill
arxiv-submission
Prepare and post preprints to arXiv without processing failures or leaks, covering TeX source packaging (.bbl, figures, case-sensitive paths), stripping private comments, choosing categories and license, endorsement, metadata (title, abstract, comments field), versioning and replacements, and linking the journal DOI later. Use when posting a paper to arXiv, when arXiv's TeX compilation fails, before uploading source, or when updating a preprint after acceptance. Includes a zero-dependency preflight checker.

# Posting to arXiv
**Verify first.** Policies (size limits, accepted formats, license options,
endorsement, moderation rules) change. Read https://info.arxiv.org/help/submit/index.html
and https://info.arxiv.org/help/submit_tex.html before each submission. Also check the
target journal's or conference's preprint policy, especially anonymity periods for
double-blind venues.
## 1. Build clean source
1. Compile locally from scratch (`latexmk -pdf main.tex`) and confirm the PDF is final.
2. Copy only what is needed into a fresh folder, or run Google's `arxiv_latex_cleaner`
(`pip install arxiv-latex-cleaner; arxiv_latex_cleaner paper/`), which strips comments and unused files.
3. Run the preflight:
