Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00164 | $0.02499 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00066 | $0.01000 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00500 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00250 |
Grade A, and why
academic-pptx 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 1mo 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
100% identical to academic-pptx — 67 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Academic Presentations Skill
How This Skill Works
This skill has two layers:
- This file — governs content, argument structure, and design standards for academic presentations. Read it fully before planning any slides.
- PPTX skill — governs the technical implementation (creating, editing, and QA-ing the .pptx file). Read it too.
Always read both before writing any code or creating any files.
Quick Reference
| Task | Guide |
|---|---|
| Content planning, argument structure, slide-by-slide rules | content_guidelines.md |
| Per-slide-type patterns (title, methods, results, etc.) | slide_patterns.md |
| Technical creation from scratch | PPTX skill → pptxgenjs.md |
| Technical editing of an existing file | PPTX skill → editing.md |
Step 0: Commit to a look first
Before Step 1's presentation-type decision, and before drafting any content, answer three questions out loud (with the user, if they're available) and write the answers down:
- What must the audience see in 5 seconds? If a slide were flashed for five seconds, what single fact or number should register? If you can't answer this for the deck's key slide, the argument isn't sharp enough yet to start building.
- Venue and duration? Is this a journal-editorial briefing, a thesis defense, a 45-minute seminar, a 15-minute conference talk, a teaching session, or a poster-session conversation aid — and how many minutes do you actually have?
- Will it survive a projector at 60% brightness? Most conference rooms and lecture halls run house lights partially up and projectors well below their rated brightness. A palette or contrast ratio that looks crisp on a laptop screen can wash out badly under those conditions.
Answering (2) determines which of the six style specifications in references/academic-style-catalog.md applies — that file gives each style's type scale, layout grid, density limits, Okabe-Ito-compatible color set, and explicit no-gos, plus a three-question audience/duration/occasion flow for narrowing to a style when the venue isn't already obvious. Read it now, before Step 1, and commit to one style; Step 3's design standards below are the shared baseline every style in that catalog builds on, not a substitute for choosing one.
What ships with it
8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

academic-pptx is a skill published in the GitHub repository Nero1688/claude-academic-skills (13 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 164 tokens to every session and 2,499 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to academic-pptx, differing in 67 lines, and is treated as a copy.
