Claude Code pixi-tex-build for project LaTeX builds
Build the default or a selected TeX file through the project's Pixi task with a consistent PDF, log, and intermediates location.
中文Install in Claude Code
Open the paper project with pixi.toml in Claude Code and prepare a compatible Pixi environment. The pinned configuration lists Linux and macOS. The exercise needs an existing TeX file.
- Review `.claude/skills/pixi-tex-build/SKILL.md` and its requirements at the pinned GitHub commit.
- Create `.claude/skills/pixi-tex-build/` in your project and save the reviewed file as `.claude/skills/pixi-tex-build/SKILL.md`.
- Start Claude Code from that project's root, then select `/pixi-tex-build` in the slash menu.
Example task
Use {tex: 'agenda-demo.tex', exists: true}. The project requires a predictable build folder so the logs can be checked.What to check
Verify {pdf: 'build/agenda-demo.pdf', outputFolder: 'build'} against the actual build. If it fails, inspect the logs produced by that same task.

Frequently asked question
Why use the project task instead of invoking Tectonic directly?
The task centralizes output and log options. Using it gives participants consistent file locations and diagnostic records.
