I found GPT Pro was able to produce somewhat complex LyX files without ERT. But I heard the agentic tools are more powerful when they can see a version control history, hence the need for Git. Perhaps it would be useful to create some *skill files* for working with LyX, though I haven't learned how yet. Here are some skill-related stuff I found for Latex and Typst, but haven't tried them yet: https://github.com/ndpvt-web/latex-document-skill https://github.com/ChanMeng666/typst-claude-skill https://forum.typst.app/t/llm-skill-file-for-claude-code-codex-etc/8397 https://mcpmarket.com/tools/skills/typst-writer On Mon, May 25, 2026 at 7:00 AM <[email protected]> wrote: > Send lyx-users mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of lyx-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
