academic-presentations

academic-presentations is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Boom5426/Nature-Paper-Skills. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,685 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a research paper into presentation slides, with optional narration and a demo video. It follows a user-provided outline while generating slide content and visuals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft slide outlines or video scripts, create slides from papers and figures, add text-to-speech narration, and assemble an optional presentation video.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of converting dense academic writing into a talk while keeping the presenter in control of the order and emphasis. Existing paper figures or slides can be adapted into the deck.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

academic-presentations 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/batch_tts_edge.py, scripts/batch_tts_kokoro.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Academic Presentations

Produce slide decks (and optionally narrated demo videos) from research papers. The human drives all outline and visual decisions — the agent executes.

Pipeline

[1] Script Draft ──→ [2] Slide Generation ──→ [3] TTS Audio (optional) ──→ [4] Video Assembly (optional)
     Claude Code          nanobanana /edit     edge-tts / Kokoro / ElevenLabs       ffmpeg

Skip stages 3–4 for slide-only output. User can enter at any stage.

Stage 1: Script / Outline

Input: paper + user-provided outline or slide plan Output: video-scripts.md or slide-outline.md — per-slide content with talking points

The agent drafts scripts based on the user's outline. The user owns the structure — agent does not decide slide count, order, or what to emphasize.

Stage 2: Slide Generation

Full reference: references/slide-generation.md

Tool: nanobanana (Gemini CLI extension)

Priority order (edit-first):

  1. Has paper figure → nanobanana /edit to wrap into slide frame
  2. Has existing slide/edit to adapt
  3. User-provided reference (e.g., from NotebookLM or PPTX the user made) → /edit to refine
  4. Title slide from scratch → generate with academic style prompt
  5. Content slide from scratch → generate with deck-style preamble

Key principle: prefer /edit on existing HQ paper figures over generating from scratch.

Deck style: create deck-style.md once per deck, prepend to all generate-from-scratch prompts. For /edit, style is inherited from the base image.

Example deck-style.md:

- Canvas: 1920x1080, white background
- Accent: #2563EB blue, text: #1e293b dark slate
- Clean sans-serif, flat design, no gradients/shadows
- Bottom bar: blue accent with white affiliation text

Stage 3: TTS Audio (optional)

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.
