SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It saves you from manually designing conference slides and writing a consistent talk flow by generating a complete beamer-to-PDF and editable PPTX slide deck directly from your compiled paper, including speaker notes and a full talk script.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Beamer slides from compiled papers: Converts your paper directory into a venue-styled slide deck with a structured narrative.
  • Talk-ready pacing: Chooses slide count based on talk type and minutes, with progressive disclosure guidance and strict slide formatting constraints.
  • Editable delivery materials: Produces both PDF (primary) and PPTX (for fine-tuning), plus a word-for-word talk script and per-slide speaker notes.
  • Optional style guidance: When provided, can use a separate paper-style reference to adjust structural density (without copying content), gated by an external helper.

Quick Start

Use the paper-slides skill to generate slides from your compiled paper directory by running: /paper-slides "paper/" — talk_type: oral — venue: NeurIPS — minutes: 15 — aspect: 16:9
