nature-paper2ppt

nature-paper2ppt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hamzabellouch/agent-skills. It costs 177 tokens per session (1,178 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of nature-paper2ppt, MIT.

A workflow for turning a scientific paper, preprint, PDF, or reading notes into a Chinese PowerPoint presentation in a Nature-style format. It is intended for talks such as journal clubs, lab meetings, seminars, conferences, and thesis defences.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare paper summaries, group-meeting decks, journal-club slides, conference presentations, and thesis or defence materials.
Why use it?
It helps organise dense scientific material into a presentation structure without requiring the user to build every slide from scratch.

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

nature-paper2ppt 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/audit_pptx_quality.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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Paper-to-PPTX — Router

This skill is split into two layers:

  • A static layer under static/ that holds versioned, reusable content fragments (core principles, toolchain policy, the 9-step workflow, output/quality rules, and per-paper-type presentation arcs).
  • A dynamic layer (this file plus manifest.yaml) that detects the paper type and loads only the fragments needed for the current job. Deep design, figure, and self-review material lives in on-demand references.

Do not try to apply the deck-building logic from memory or from this router. Always load fragments from disk as described below.

Routing protocol

Follow these five steps every time the skill is invoked.

1. Load the manifest and the core layer

Read manifest.yaml. It declares the paper_type axis, the allowed values, and the file paths each value maps to.

Also read every file listed under always_load. These hold the purpose and core principle, the lean operating mode and toolchain policy, the 9-step workflow spine, and the output/quality rules that apply to every deck, plus the shared Terminology Ledger used to keep technical terms consistent across slides.

2. Classify the paper type

Decide the paper_type value using the manifest's detect: hint and the source:

  • discovery — discovery / mechanism papers (question-to-evidence arc). Default.
  • methods — methods / AI / tool / algorithm papers (problem-to-solution arc).
  • resource — resource / dataset / atlas / omics / benchmark papers (workflow-to-validation arc).
  • clinical — clinical / population / intervention studies (design-to-inference arc).
  • materials — materials / chemistry / physics / engineering papers (property-to-mechanism / design-to-performance arc).
  • review — reviews / perspectives / commentaries / meta-analyses (evidence-map arc).

State the detected value in one short line to the user before designing slides, so they can correct you cheaply.

3. Load the matching fragment

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.
