academic-slides

academic-slides is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Nero1688/claude-academic-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (5,524 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating academic presentations as browser-based HTML pages, with layouts inspired by Beamer, a LaTeX presentation system. It supports mathematical equations, theorem layouts, algorithms, and citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for conference talks, lectures, seminars, and thesis defenses, or to convert PowerPoint presentations into HTML slides.
Why use it?
It helps turn research material into presentation slides without a separate build setup. It also keeps each slide fitted to the screen without internal scrolling.

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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 514 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Academic Slides Skill

Create zero-dependency, Beamer-inspired HTML presentations that run entirely in the browser. This skill helps academics and researchers build professional presentations with proper theorem environments, equation rendering via KaTeX, and structured frame navigation. Users discover their preferred theme through visual exploration ("show, don't tell"), then the skill generates production-quality frame decks.

Core Philosophy

  1. Zero Build Dependencies -- Single HTML files with inline CSS/JS. KaTeX loaded via CDN for equations. No npm, no build tools.
  2. Show, Don't Tell -- People don't know what they want until they see it. Generate visual theme previews for academic users.
  3. Academic Authenticity -- Beamer-inspired structure, Computer Modern typography, proper theorem environments. Not PowerPoint-with-serif-fonts.
  4. Production Quality -- Accessible, responsive, well-commented code.
  5. Viewport Fitting (CRITICAL) -- Every frame MUST fit exactly within the viewport. No scrolling within frames, ever. This is non-negotiable.

CRITICAL: Viewport Fitting Requirements

This section is mandatory for ALL presentations. Every frame must be fully visible without scrolling on any screen size.

The Golden Rule

Each frame = exactly one viewport height (100vh/100dvh)
Content overflows? -> Split into multiple frames or reduce content
Never scroll within a frame.

Content Density Limits

To guarantee viewport fitting, enforce these limits per frame:

Frame Type Maximum Content
Title Frame 1 title + 1 subtitle + author/institute/date block
Content Frame 1 heading + 4-5 bullet points OR 1 heading + 2 short paragraphs
Theorem/Proof Frame 1 theorem box (max 4 lines) + 1 proof sketch (max 5 lines)
Equation Frame 1 heading + 1-3 display equations with optional annotation
Algorithm Frame 1 heading + max 12 lines of pseudocode
Definition Frame 1 heading + 1-2 definition boxes (max 3 lines each)
Citation/References Frame 1 heading + max 8 reference entries
Section Divider Frame 1 section number + 1 section title + optional outline

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.
