SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pymupdf, pillow, python-pptx, and includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual effort of designing a journal-club slide deck by automatically turning a scientific paper (PDF/text/notes plus figure legends) into a concise, evidence-first Chinese PPTX with speaker notes and QA.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Paper-to-deck conversion (real PPTX output): Generates an editable .pptx as the primary deliverable, not just an outline.
  • Nature-style evidence narrative: Uses the paper’s scientific argument as the slide spine and adapts slide logic to the paper type.
  • Figure-led slide construction: Selects and crops only the figures/tables needed for the story to keep visuals readable and avoid decorative content.
  • Lightweight verification & traceability: Produces a qa_report.md and (when extracted assets are used) an asset_manifest.md.

Quick Start

Use the nature-paper2ppt skill to create a Chinese PPTX for an uploaded research paper by asking: “Generate a 12–16 slide Nature-style Chinese PPTX with speaker notes from this paper PDF, using only the key figures as evidence, and include a brief QA report.”

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a research paper PDF into a journal club presentation?

Generating a Nature-style Chinese PPTX from a scientific paper requires extracting its argument structure and cropping only necessary figures to build evidence-first slides with speaker notes and a lightweight QA report.

Can I automatically extract figures from a PDF for an academic presentation?

Yes, automatically extracting figures from a PDF for an academic presentation involves selecting and cropping only the necessary figures and tables to ensure visuals remain readable and free of decorative content in the final PPTX.

Does python-pptx work for generating Chinese slides with speaker notes?

Yes, python-pptx works for generating Chinese slides with speaker notes by building a valid .pptx file through cross-platform Python tooling, integrating cropped figures and structured text extracted from the paper.

What is the best way to create evidence-first slides from a scientific paper?

Creating evidence-first slides from a scientific paper involves using the paper’s scientific argument as the slide spine and adapting slide logic to the paper type, ensuring only essential figures and tables are included as visual evidence.

Can I generate a QA report alongside my paper summarization PPTX?

Yes, you can generate a lightweight QA report alongside your paper summarization PPTX, which provides structural verification and traceability for the extracted argument structure and selected figure assets.

What paper formats are supported for converting text into academic slides?

Supported paper formats for converting text into academic slides include scientific PDFs, text, and paper-derived notes with figure legends, which are processed to produce an editable Chinese PPTX deck.
