academic-slide-pragmatic-fallback

The Skill generates high-fidelity academic presentations by enforcing Image2-style full-slide images. This mechanism ensures maximum visual fidelity by rendering entire slides as generated images based on the paper content.

When Image2 is unavailable, the Skill provides a lower-fidelity fallback PPTX. This ensures you still get a generated presentation deck, although without the high-fidelity full-slide images.

Yes, you need pypdf and python-pptx to build academic slides from PDFs. These dependencies are required for parsing the research paper and constructing the final PPTX file outputs.

Yes, you can use SI figures directly in a generated academic presentation deck. The Skill specifically incorporates supplementary information figures into the final generated PPT slides.

The limitation of the fallback PPTX is lower fidelity compared to the Image2 route. It is used only when Image2-style image generation is unavailable, resulting in standard slides instead of full-slide images.
