SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, pymupdf, pillow, pypdf2, python-pptx, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Scientific presentations often struggle to translate dense research papers into clear, engaging slides. This Skill provides a practical AI-assisted workflow to transform manuscripts, figures, and notes into a cohesive deck with visual emphasis, narrative structure, and proper citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AI-driven deck generation: creates slide-by-slide structure with title, bullets, visuals, and citations.
  • Visual-first design guidance: prioritizes high-impact figures, readable typography, and clean layouts.
  • Citation integration: automatically formats and inserts author-year references for credibility.
  • Broad applicability: suitable for conferences, seminars, defenses, and journal clubs.
  • Iterative refinement: AI reviews and refines slides to improve quality across the deck.

Quick Start

  • "Generate a 12- to 18-slide conference deck titled 'Your Research Topic' with a hook, literature context, methods overview, key results visuals, and a conclusion; attach any provided figures and include citations."
  • "If you have figures, attach them as context to ensure accurate representation in the visuals."
