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.
