Turn a research paper into a structured, styled PowerPoint deck: read a lawful paper/PDF, reconstruct the paper logic, create a top-level presentation outline, generate slide-level titles, map each slide to paper text/figures/tables/equations, create consistent slide images, and export a final PPT/PPTX. Use when Codex is asked to make a PPT from a paper, article, thesis chapter, technical report, or research PDF.

Write a source-grounded research paper through a legal literature and drafting pipeline: study writing-method sources, search lawful paper indexes and open-access databases, build section/paragraph structures, generate original figures/tables/equations from evidence or user data, compare claims against existing literature, revise, and produce a final manuscript. Use when Codex is asked to write, plan, structure, revise, or validate an academic paper, literature review, technical article, thesis chapter, or source-grounded manuscript.

Run a design thinking workflow: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Use when Codex is asked to solve user-centered product, service, interface, education, or experience problems through research, framing, ideation, prototyping, and user feedback.

Run a DMAIC process improvement project: define, measure, analyze, improve, and control. Use when Codex is asked to fix an existing process with measurable defects, delays, variation, waste, quality problems, or customer-impacting failures.

Run a Getting Things Done style workflow for personal or team commitments: capture, clarify, organize, reflect, and engage. Use when Codex is asked to process task piles, inboxes, open loops, project lists, next actions, weekly reviews, or overloaded work.

Run a Lean Startup validation loop with assumptions, MVP, build-measure-learn, validated learning, and pivot/persevere decisions. Use when Codex is asked to test a startup, product, feature, market, or business model under uncertainty.

Create and manage OKRs with objectives, measurable key results, initiatives, owners, check-ins, and scoring. Use when Codex is asked to turn goals into measurable execution plans for teams, products, projects, or personal work.

Run an OODA decision loop: observe, orient, decide, act. Use when Codex is asked to make fast decisions under uncertainty, update plans from new information, respond to competitors, incidents, operations changes, or tactical execution problems.

Run a PDSA continuous improvement loop: plan, do, study, act. Use when Codex is asked to improve a process with small experiments, learning cycles, operational changes, service improvements, or quality improvement.
