Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00065 | $0.11051 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.05525 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.02210 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.01105 |
Grade A, and why
scientific-slides scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
98% identical to scientific-slides — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Scientific Slides
Overview
Scientific presentations are a critical medium for communicating research, sharing findings, and engaging with academic and professional audiences. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating effective scientific presentations, from structure and content development to visual design and delivery preparation.
Key Focus: Oral presentations for conferences, seminars, defenses, and professional talks.
CRITICAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: Scientific presentations should be VISUALLY ENGAGING and RESEARCH-BACKED. Avoid dry, text-heavy slides at all costs. Great scientific presentations combine:
- Compelling visuals: High-quality figures, images, diagrams (not just bullet points)
- Research context: Proper citations from research-lookup establishing credibility
- Minimal text: Bullet points as prompts, YOU provide the explanation verbally
- Professional design: Modern color schemes, strong visual hierarchy, generous white space
- Story-driven: Clear narrative arc, not just data dumps
Remember: Boring presentations = forgotten science. Make your slides visually memorable while maintaining scientific rigor through proper citations.
When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Preparing conference presentations (5-20 minutes)
- Developing academic seminars (45-60 minutes)
- Creating thesis or dissertation defense presentations
- Designing grant pitch presentations
- Preparing journal club presentations
- Giving research talks at institutions or companies
- Teaching or tutorial presentations on scientific topics
Slide Generation with Nano Banana Pro
This skill uses Nano Banana Pro AI to generate stunning presentation slides automatically.
There are two workflows depending on output format:
Default Workflow: PDF Slides (Recommended)
Generate each slide as a complete image using Nano Banana Pro, then combine into a PDF. This produces the most visually stunning results.
How it works:
- Plan the deck: Create a detailed plan for each slide (title, key points, visual elements)
- Generate slides: Call Nano Banana Pro for each slide to create complete slide images
- Combine to PDF: Assemble slide images into a single PDF presentation
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

scientific-slides is a skill published in the GitHub repository AndyZhuang/Opentest (22 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 11,051 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to scientific-slides, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
