$ARGUMENTS
Purpose
Mechanically convert LaTeX documents to typst, validating syntax and compilation.
Autonomy Level: L3 (Autonomous)
- Human: Provide input, accept output
- AI: Convert → validate → test compile → done
Agent Loop
while not conversion_complete:
coder.parse_latex(input)
writer.generate_typst(parsed)
prover.validate_syntax()
prover.test_compile()
if errors:
coder.fix_errors()
else:
present_to_human(output)

Input Required
- LaTeX source (file or text)
- Package dependencies to handle
Output
- typst file with equivalent content
- Compilation test result
Human Checkpoint
- Review edge cases AI might have missed
- Verify mathematical notation renders correctly
Tool
latex2typst - Rust CLI for fast conversion.
cd latex2typst && cargo build --release
# Convert file
./target/release/latex2typst -i input.tex -o output.typ
# Pipe stdin
echo '\section{Hello} $\frac{a}{b}$' | ./target/release/latex2typst
