paperops

Use this skill when reviewing an existing PPT or SlideCraft deck, diagnosing layout problems, inspecting preview PNGs, or iterating on slides based on current deck state rather than blindly editing code.

Use this skill whenever creating, modifying, or generating PowerPoint presentations (.pptx) with paperops.slides. This includes native PowerPoint slide composition, themes, layouts, animations, and deck implementation once the talk structure and visual language are ready.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to turn one or more papers, notes, or source documents into an academic talk plan before building slides. Trigger for conference talks, seminars, research-line talks, job talks, speaker notes, slide scripts, talk outlines, or requests to organize source material into a PPT story. This skill plans the narrative, timing, audience framing, and slide-by-slide content; use slidecraft only after the talk plan is stable.

Use this skill for PPTX-native workflows: reading or extracting content from existing .pptx files, editing templates or unpacked Office XML, combining/splitting decks, or doing final artifact QA on a generated presentation. Do not use it as the default implementation path when a deck is being authored in repo-native slide code such as `paperops.slides`; in those cases route visual-system work to `visual-language`, slide implementation to `slidecraft`, and rendered-deck diagnosis to `slide-review`, then use this skill only for PPTX-specific IO or final QA.

Use this skill when a PPT needs a coherent design language, symbol vocabulary, or diagram style. It defines the presentation's visual system before SlideCraft code is written or revised.

Use this skill whenever creating matplotlib/seaborn figures for academic papers, research reports, or publication-quality plotting tasks using paperops.plotting. Trigger when the user mentions plots, figures, charts, graphs, or visualizations in a research/paper context.

Run repo-aware verification for paperops changes, including code checks, skill-doc consistency checks, and slide/plot smoke tests when relevant.
