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-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.

Academic Slides

A structured approach to creating academic presentation slides and preparing research talks. Covers narrative structure, slide design, visual hierarchy, delivery technique, and Q&A preparation.

When to Use This Skill

  • User wants to create presentation slides for a research talk
  • User asks about structuring an academic presentation
  • User needs to prepare for a conference talk, thesis defense, or lab meeting
  • User wants to design a slide deck from a paper or research project
  • User mentions "slides", "presentation", "talk", "defense", "poster talk"

Before You Start: Three Questions

Before designing any slides, answer these questions clearly:

  1. What works are you presenting? They must share a coherent research direction. If presenting multiple works, they should form a narrative arc — not a disconnected list.

  2. What problems do these works solve in that direction? Each work should map to a specific problem. If you cannot articulate the problem in one sentence, you are not ready to present.

  3. How do you use related work to naturally introduce these problems? Related work is not citation duty. It builds the motivation for YOUR problem. Each related work you mention should advance the audience toward understanding why your approach is needed.


Core Workflow

Step 1: Define scope and audience
Step 2: Draft narrative arc (outline)
Step 3: Design slide structure (section breakdown)
Step 4: Create individual slides (one idea per slide)
Step 5: Add visual elements (figures, diagrams, animations)
Step 6: Rehearse and time
Step 7: Prepare backup / Q&A slides

Step 1: Define Scope and Audience

Audience Adjust
Domain experts Skip basics, go deep on method and results
Broad CS / engineering Explain task context, moderate technical depth
Interdisciplinary Start from the application, minimize jargon
Industry Lead with impact and demo, light on theory

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.
