What problem does it solve?
This Skill fixes weak, design-forward presentation decks by enforcing academic, communication-first standards so your slides tell a rigorous, evidence-backed story with clear argument flow and proper citation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Action-title slide logic (ghost deck test): Forces every slide title to be a complete “takeaway sentence” so titles alone communicate the full argument.
- Academic deck architecture: Implements a structured narrative (e.g., Situation → Complication → Resolution), with dedicated slides for research question, methods, results, discussion, and conclusions.
- Exhibit and annotation discipline: Ensures one exhibit per results slide and highlights the key finding directly on the figure/table.
- Citation standards: Requires in-slide citations for borrowed figures/data and a comprehensive References slide at the end.
- Academic-specific QA checklist: Adds guardrails like readable typography, results annotation, and ensuring the Conclusions slide remains last for Q&A.
Quick Start
Upload the repository zip that contains the academic-pptx skill, then ask Claude to create conference slides for your paper and it will generate an academic, citation-compliant slide narrative following the rules.
