# Paper2PPT Create editable paper-reading decks in a restrained whiteboard style. This skill is for discussion slides, not marketing decks. ## Default Style - White background. - One large title near the top. - Left side or top area uses grouped unordered bullets. - Group headers are larger and usually red. - Body bullets are smaller and black. - Use figures and tables from the paper as evidence, not decoration. - Remove meaningless cards or floating boxes unless the user explicitly asks for them. ## Core Workflow 1. Read the paper PDF or notes first. 2. Extract a small narrative arc instead of copying the paper section by section. 3. If useful, use Paper2Slides as an upstream planning/reference stage only. 4. Reorganize the content into the requested slide outline. 5. Build an editable `.pptx`, not screenshots. 6. Keep titles and bullets editable text; keep paper figures/tables as evidence images. ## Default Seven-Slide Arc Use this when the user wants a standard paper-reading deck: 1. Research Problem + Challenges 2. Prior Work + Observation 3. Insight + Architecture Overview 4. Detailed Design I 5. Detailed Design II 6. Evaluation I 7. Evaluation II ## Layout Rules - Keep each slide to 2-3 bullet groups. - Prefer unordered bullets over paragraphs. - Make group headers visibly larger than body text. - Keep one main visual area per slide. - Do not put meaningless summary cards in the middle-upper area. - On evaluation slides, put the headline metric or conclusion in red. ## Paper2Slides Integration When the user explicitly wants Paper2Slides or when it helps: - Use Paper2Slides for paper parsing, summary extraction, or slide-plan inspiration. - Do not rely on Paper2Slides image-only output as the final deliverable when the user wants editable PPT. - Treat Paper2Slides as the planning/source-extraction stage, then rebuild the final deck as editable PPTX. Read [references/workflow.md](references/workflow.md) for the full hybrid workflow and packaging notes. ## Bundled Source This skill includes a full example project under `assets/example-boosting-resource-leak-7slides/`: - `build/build_deck.mjs`: editable PPTX builder source - `narrative_plan.md`: slide narrative - `assets/`: paper figure/table screenshots - `preview/`: rendered slide previews - `verification/summary.json`: export summary - `boosting-resource-leak-paper2slides-7slides.pptx`: final example deck It also includes a vendored upstream copy of Paper2Slides under `vendor/Paper2Slides/`. Use this example as a reference implementation when creating similar discussion-style decks. ## Publish / Repo Notes If the user asks to package or publish this skill, include: - `SKILL.md` - `agents/openai.yaml` - `references/` - `scripts/` - `assets/example-boosting-resource-leak-7slides/` - `vendor/Paper2Slides/` - `README.md` - `LICENSE` Read [references/publish-notes.md](references/publish-notes.md) before handing the folder off for GitHub publication.
