# Thesis Template Guide
A skill for setting up and customizing LaTeX templates for PhD and Master's theses. Covers document class selection, front matter configuration, chapter organization, and strategies for managing a large multi-file LaTeX project over months or years of writing.
## Document Class Selection
### Common Thesis Classes
| Class | Description | Use Case |
|-------|------------|---------|
| `book` | Standard LaTeX class with chapters | Most flexible, requires manual formatting |
| `memoir` | Extended book class with many built-in features | Excellent default for custom templates |
| `report` | Simpler than book, supports chapters | Quick setup for shorter theses |
| University-specific | Custom class provided by your institution | Required by many universities |
