description	Turn an existing paper, memo, or results package into a talk outline and slide plan. Use when Codex needs to shape a seminar, job-market, short, or lightning talk, decide what to cut, map paper content into slides, or review whether a deck is faithful to the manuscript.

Talk From Paper

Use this skill to compress a paper into a format-appropriate story without inventing evidence that is not already in the manuscript or output.

Workflow

1. Identify the target format and time budget.
2. Pull the research question, design, key result, and one or two supporting results.
3. Decide what to cut before drafting slides.
4. Build the narrative around a single key slide.
5. Check that every claim on a slide is traceable to the paper.

Slide rules

• One idea per slide.
• Prefer figures over dense regression tables.
• Keep backup material out of the main arc.
• Match notation and numbers exactly.

Load references as needed

• Read references/format-guide.md for format constraints and deck review checks.
