nature-paper2ppt

nature-paper2ppt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from niuz257470-ctrl/natureskills. It costs 130 tokens per session (4,984 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of nature-paper2ppt, MIT.

A workflow for turning a scientific paper, preprint, PDF, article, or notes into a complete Chinese PowerPoint presentation in a Nature-style format. A preprint is a research paper shared before formal journal publication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for journal clubs, lab meetings, group meetings, thesis seminars, department talks, and other presentations of research papers.
Why use it?
It organizes the presentation around the study’s question, methods, evidence, reliability, contribution, and limitations instead of merely copying the paper’s section order. It produces a real .pptx deck with figures rather than only an outline.

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 11d 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 — 496 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Transform a scientific paper or paper-derived notes into a complete Chinese, figure-integrated PPTX presentation package with a Nature-style reporting logic.

The skill must not stop at an outline or script. The expected end product is a real .pptx deck. Keep supporting files minimal unless the user asks for more traceability.

Use this skill for papers across scientific fields, including:

  • life sciences and medicine
  • chemistry and materials science
  • environmental and earth sciences
  • physics and engineering
  • computational biology, AI, and methods papers
  • interdisciplinary Nature-family style research
  • reviews, perspectives, resources, datasets, and benchmark papers

Core Principle

Use the paper's scientific argument as the presentation spine.

The default slide logic should help the audience answer, in order:

  1. Why does this problem matter?
  2. What gap or bottleneck does the paper address?
  3. What did the authors do?
  4. What is the key evidence?
  5. Why should we trust the result?
  6. What is new, reusable, or broadly meaningful?
  7. Where are the boundaries and open questions?

This is more important than copying the paper section order.

Lean Operating Mode

Default to the lowest-overhead workflow that still produces a usable PPTX.

Do:

  • read only the source material needed to understand the paper's argument,
  • extract only figures/tables that will actually appear in the deck,
  • create the PPTX as the primary deliverable,
  • run lightweight structural checks on the PPTX package,
  • write a short QA report.

Avoid by default:

  • exhaustive extraction of every figure, page, image, table, or supplement,
  • full OCR unless normal text extraction fails or the PDF is scanned,
  • saving full raw extracted paper text unless it is needed for debugging or reuse,
  • installing new dependencies when an existing tool can complete the task,
  • launching GUI apps or desktop automation just to render previews,
  • generating long markdown scripts when the user only needs a deck,
  • rendering every slide when no reliable headless renderer is available.

Changes

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.
