The Zilin AI Tool is an advanced AI agent skill designed to optimize figure asset and compiled PDF sizes in LaTeX and other document projects. It intelligently measures rendered placement sizes, chooses suitable raster resolution and compression, and supports visual verification of the rebuilt document. This tool assists developers and teams in reducing the size of oversized paper visuals or submission PDFs while preserving scientific content and vector graphics.
What this skill does
Identifies and measures rendered placement sizes of figures in documents.
Utilizes suitable raster resolution and compression to optimize figures.
Preserves local edits and original assets; applies changes non-destructively by working on a separate project copy.
Compiles the current source as the baseline, recording relevant PDF metrics such as bytes, pages, and dimensions.
Excludes unused assets from file-size estimates ensuring accuracy in size reporting.
Provides a visual verification process for the user to confirm that no material degradation occurs at intended viewing sizes.
Who it is for
Developers and technical teams working with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Research scientists and academic professionals preparing materials for publication or submission in PDF and LaTeX formats.
Document management and digital publishing experts looking to optimize asset usage efficiently.
Use cases
Reducing the file size of academic papers with numerous high-resolution figures for journal submission.
Optimizing conference presentations with detailed and large-scale visuals without sacrificing clarity.
Preparing streamlined content for digital distribution platforms where file size is a constraint.
Technical details
Integrates with AI coding agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Utilizes the Zilin Figure Optimizer for determining optimal raster resolutions and compression strategies.
Operates with source control by fetching the current project state to prevent overwriting newer work.
Relies on pre-existing build commands and manuscript instructions as data for processing.
