Validation

  • Use the Yavira download entry.
  • Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.
  • Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets.

Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Overleaf

CLI tool to interact with Overleaf projects using browser cookies for authentication. GitHub: https://github.com/jkulhanek/pyoverleaf

Requirements

Python 3.8+ pyoverleaf (pipx install pyoverleaf) User logged into Overleaf in Chrome/Firefox

Security Considerations

โš ๏ธ Keychain Access Required: pyoverleaf needs "Always Allow" keychain access to read browser cookies. This grants the tool access to your browser's cookie storage. Security audit: We have audited pyoverleaf v0.1.7 and found it safe. The codebase is small and readable. Before installing, agents can self-audit the latest version at the GitHub repo above.

Authentication Setup

pyoverleaf authenticates by reading cookies from your browser. The user must: Log into Overleaf in Chrome or Firefox (visit overleaf.com and sign in) Grant keychain access on first run (macOS will prompt for "Always Allow") # Test auth - user should run this in their terminal first pyoverleaf ls If you get auth errors: Ask user: "Are you logged into Overleaf in your browser?" If on macOS: "Did you approve the keychain access prompt with 'Always Allow'?" User may need to run pyoverleaf ls manually in terminal to trigger the keychain prompt Note: The agent cannot log in for the user. Browser authentication must be done by the user directly.

CLI Commands

# List all projects pyoverleaf ls # List files in project pyoverleaf ls "Project Name" # Read file content pyoverleaf read "Project Name/main.tex" # Write file (stdin โ†’ Overleaf) cat local.tex | pyoverleaf write "Project Name/main.tex" # Create directory pyoverleaf mkdir "Project Name/figures" # Remove file/folder pyoverleaf rm "Project Name/old-draft.tex" # Download project as zip pyoverleaf download-project "Project Name" output.zip

Download from Overleaf

pyoverleaf download-project "Project Name" /tmp/latest.zip unzip -o /tmp/latest.zip -d /tmp/latest cp /tmp/latest/main.tex /path/to/local/main.tex

Upload to Overleaf (Python API recommended)

The CLI write command has websocket issues. Use Python API for reliable uploads: import pyoverleaf api = pyoverleaf.Api() api.login_from_browser() # List projects to get project ID for proj in api.get_projects(): print(proj.name, proj.id) # Upload file (direct overwrite) project_id = "your_project_id_here" with open('main.tex', 'rb') as f: content = f.read() root = api.project_get_files(project_id) api.project_upload_file(project_id, root.id, "main.tex", content) Why direct overwrite? This method preserves Overleaf's version history. Users can see exactly what changed via Overleaf's History feature, making it easy to review agent edits and revert if needed.

Accept Project Invites

The agent can accept Overleaf project invitations programmatically using browser cookies โ€” no manual clicking required.

How it works

Fetch pending invite notifications from Overleaf's /notifications API Extract the invite token from the notification Fetch the invite page to get a CSRF token POST to the accept endpoint with the CSRF token

Python snippet

import pyoverleaf import re api = pyoverleaf.Api() api.login_from_browser() session = api._get_session() # Step 1: Get pending invites r = session.get('https://www.overleaf.com/notifications', headers={'Accept': 'application/json'}) notifications = r.json() # Filter for project invites invites = [n for n in notifications if n.get('templateKey') == 'notification_project_invite'] for invite in invites: opts = invite['messageOpts'] project_id = opts['projectId'] token = opts['token'] project_name = opts['projectName'] inviter = opts['userName'] print(f"Invite: '{project_name}' from {inviter}") # Step 2: Get CSRF token from invite page r_page = session.get( f'https://www.overleaf.com/project/{project_id}/invite/token/{token}') csrf_match = re.search( r'name="ol-csrfToken" content="([^"]+)"', r_page.text) if not csrf_match: print(f" Could not find CSRF token, skipping") continue csrf = csrf_match.group(1) # Step 3: Accept the invite r_accept = session.post( f'https://www.overleaf.com/project/{project_id}/invite/token/{token}/accept', headers={ 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-csrf-token': csrf, }, json={}) if r_accept.status_code == 200: print(f" โœ… Accepted '{project_name}'") else: print(f" โŒ Failed ({r_accept.status_code})")

Accept a specific invite by project URL

# Given: https://www.overleaf.com/project/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX target_project_id = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" matching = [n for n in invites if n['messageOpts']['projectId'] == target_project_id] # Then follow steps 2-3 above for the matching invite

Notes

Only works if the user is logged into Overleaf in their browser (cookie auth) Invites expire (check the expires field in the notification) After accepting, the project appears in pyoverleaf ls / api.get_projects() For self-hosted Overleaf, replace www.overleaf.com with your host

Self-hosted Overleaf

# Via env var export PYOVERLEAF_HOST=overleaf.mycompany.com pyoverleaf ls # Via flag pyoverleaf --host overleaf.mycompany.com ls

Troubleshooting

Auth error / websocket error: Open Overleaf in Chrome browser first (open -a "Google Chrome" "https://www.overleaf.com/project" then wait 5s) to refresh cookies, then retry "scheme https is invalid" (websocket redirect bug): The default host overleaf.com causes a 301โ†’www.overleaf.com redirect that breaks websocket. Fix: set PYOVERLEAF_HOST=www.overleaf.com: cat main.tex | PYOVERLEAF_HOST=www.overleaf.com pyoverleaf write "Project/main.tex" Keychain Access Denied (macOS): pyoverleaf needs keychain access to read browser cookies. User must run pyoverleaf ls in their terminal and click "Always Allow" on the keychain prompt Project not found: Use exact project name (case-sensitive), check with pyoverleaf ls Permission denied: User may not have edit access to the project
