SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious, error-prone manual work of polishing academic presentation slides after content is locked, removing guesswork around font sizing for projectors, text frame overflow, style inconsistencies, and alignment with a target reference deck.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-page visual review: Uses Codex to compare each slide against a user-provided reference PDF to identify layout, typography, and visual weight mismatches.
  • Content-safe targeted fixes: Applies surgical adjustments to PPTX (font scaling, text frame resizing, East Asian font support) and Beamer (template fixes, em-dash spacing, CJK compatibility) without altering slide content, claims, citations, or speaker notes.
  • Use case: A researcher who has just generated a conference talk deck can run this skill to bump fonts to projector-readable sizes, fix text overflow, and align the slide style with a target conference template (e.g., MICCAI, NeurIPS) in minutes.

Quick Start

Use the slides-polish skill to polish your academic slide deck by providing your PPTX or Beamer file path and a reference PDF of the target visual style.
