Write Pandoc Markdown

Write Pandoc Markdown

Pandoc-flavored Markdown conventions for academic papers with LaTeX output.

Type: Skill Trigger: /write-pandoc-markdown (also activates automatically)

Installation

See the marketplace install instructions.

What It Does

Provides Pandoc Markdown conventions for academic papers, covering YAML frontmatter, math and citations, cross-references, raw LaTeX blocks, and the Pandoc-to-LaTeX build pipeline. Activates automatically on .md files that use Pandoc extensions (math delimiters, citation syntax, raw LaTeX blocks). Distinct from write-markdown, which covers GitHub Flavored Markdown and markdownlint rules.

Usage

/write-pandoc-markdown

The skill also activates automatically when Claude Code detects Pandoc Markdown work (math delimiters, citation syntax, raw LaTeX, academic YAML frontmatter).

Examples

• Editing main.md for an academic paper that compiles to LaTeX
• Adding citations using Pandoc [@key] syntax
• Embedding raw LaTeX blocks for figures or theorems
• "/write-pandoc-markdown": loads the full style guide explicitly
