academic-ppt

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates the time-consuming effort of manually converting a paper into a coherent, defense-ready slide deck with publication-quality figures and speaker notes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Paper-to-PPTX generation: Produces a complete .pptx from LaTeX sources, PDFs (best-effort), or direct text descriptions.
• Scene-adaptive templates: Supports defense, conference, and seminar structures with appropriate slide pacing and depth.
• Dual-engine figure creation: Generates accurate data charts with Matplotlib/Seaborn and concept diagrams with Gemini (or Mermaid fallback).
• Action-title narrative: Creates slide titles as complete “takeaway” sentences and validates the story flow via a ghost-deck test.
• Speaker notes + Q&A prediction: Adds what to say, timing cues, and anticipated questions on every slide.

Quick Start

Use the academic-ppt skill to generate a defense PPTX from your LaTeX main file by running: /academic-ppt --latex paper/main.tex --scene defense --time 15min
