AI Research Skills Library is a collection of reusable instructions that guide AI agents through research and machine-learning engineering tasks, from finding ideas and writing papers to training, evaluation, and deployment. It is for configuring agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini to perform research workflows.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00053 | $0.02509 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01255 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00502 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00251 |
Grade A, and why
presenting-conference-talks 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.
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.

Presenting Conference Talks: From Paper to Slides
Generate conference presentation slides from a compiled research paper. Produces both Beamer LaTeX PDF (for polished typesetting) and editable PPTX (for last-minute adjustments), with speaker notes and an optional talk script.
When to Use This Skill
| Scenario | Use This Skill | Use Other Skills Instead |
|---|---|---|
| Preparing oral/spotlight/poster-talk slides | ✅ | |
| Generating Beamer PDF + PPTX from paper | ✅ | |
| Speaker notes and talk script | ✅ | |
| Writing the paper itself | ml-paper-writing | |
| Structuring a systems paper | systems-paper-writing | |
| Creating publication-quality plots | academic-plotting |
Attribution: This skill's structure draws inspiration from the ARIS paper-slides skill (570 lines, supporting poster/spotlight/oral/invited with Beamer+PPTX). This is an independent implementation for the AI-Research-SKILLs ecosystem.
Talk Types and Slide Counts
| Talk Type | Duration | Slides | Content Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| poster-talk | 3–5 min | 5–8 | Problem + key result only |
| spotlight | 5–8 min | 8–12 | Problem + approach + key results |
| oral | 15–20 min | 15–22 | Full story with evaluation highlights |
| invited | 30–45 min | 25–40 | Deep dive with context and demos |
Rule of thumb: ~1 slide per minute for oral, ~1.5 slides per minute for spotlight.
Slide Structure Templates
Poster-Talk (5–8 slides)
Slide 1: Title + Authors + Affiliation
Slide 2: Problem — Why this matters (1 motivating figure)
Slide 3: Key Insight — One-sentence thesis

Slide 6: Takeaway + QR code to paper/code
Spotlight (8–12 slides)
Slide 1: Title + Authors
Slide 2: Problem Statement — Concrete, quantified
Slide 3: Motivation — Why existing solutions fall short
Slide 4: Key Insight — Thesis statement
Slide 5: System Overview — Architecture diagram
Slide 6: Design Highlight 1 — Core mechanism
Slide 7: Design Highlight 2 — Key innovation
Slide 8: Evaluation Setup — Baselines and workloads (brief)
Slide 9: Main Results — Headline performance figure
Slide 10: Ablation / Breakdown — What contributes most
Slide 11: Summary + Contributions
Slide 12: Thank You + Links
What ships with it
1 file 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.

presenting-conference-talks is a skill published in the GitHub repository Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs (12,567 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,509 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
