Academic Presentation Skill

Purpose

Create academic presentations from papers, posters, or review materials using deterministic conference and literature-review presets. Use when the user asks to make slides, prepare a talk, build a Beamer deck, or turn review content into a presentation.

Keep this SKILL.md as a concise routing and execution entrypoint. Do not load long examples, command catalogs, detailed checklists, or edge-case policy until the current task needs them.

Workflow

Confirm the user request matches this skill's frontmatter description.
Bind the concrete target: source file, artifact, repo, device, document, dataset, or user-facing deliverable.
Use the smallest relevant workflow from this entrypoint first.
Before choosing a presentation preset, building Beamer/PPTX content, composing figures, embedding video, cleaning deck directories, or declaring the rendered deck ready, read references/entrypoint-details.md.
Preserve local owner boundaries: route to a narrower skill or repo-specific workflow when the detailed reference indicates a more specific owner.

Detailed Reference

Read references/entrypoint-details.md for:

Deterministic routing
Workflow
Conference preset
Literature review preset
Figure composition from existing PDFs
Column alignment in Beamer
Beamer implementation reference
Visual QA (Required)
Consistency checklist (run before declaring ready)
Output conventions
Directory cleanup
Video in presentations
Validation And Checkpoints

Validation

Use the skill-specific validation or acceptance checks from the detailed reference before declaring completion.
When editing this skill, run quick_validate.py on the skill directory and verify all referenced files still exist.
