create-lecture

create-lecture is a skill for Claude Code from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating Beamer lecture slides in LaTeX from research papers and other materials. It checks notation, uses the project's preamble, and guides the lecture's structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a new lecture or presentation on a topic, including one based on PDFs or research papers. It supports planning explanations, examples, applications, citations, and slide-by-slide review.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of turning source material into consistent teaching slides. It also helps catch conflicting symbols and missing references early.

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

create-lecture 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 22d 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.

Lecture Creation Workflow

Create a beautiful, pedagogically excellent Beamer lecture deck.

This is a collaborative, iterative process. The instructor drives the vision; Claude is a thinking partner.


CONSTRAINTS (Non-Negotiable)

  1. Read the knowledge base FIRST — notation registry, narrative arc, applications database
  2. Every new symbol MUST be checked against the notation registry
  3. Motivation before formalism — no exceptions
  4. Worked example within 2 slides of every definition
  5. Max 2 colored boxes per slide
  6. No \pause or overlay commands (check project rules)
  7. Transition slides at major conceptual pivots
  8. Thread at least 1 running empirical application throughout
  9. All citations verified against the bibliography
  10. Work in batches of 5-10 slides — share for feedback, don't bulk-dump

WORKFLOW

Phase 0: Intake & Context (Pre-Flight Report required)

Read the inputs, then produce a Pre-Flight Report in your response before Phase 1 starts.

Inputs to read:

  • .claude/rules/knowledge-base-template.md — notation registry, narrative arc, applications
  • .claude/rules/content-invariants.md — INV-1..INV-8 govern slide content
  • Any source papers / existing slides the user provided
  • The previous lecture's .tex (last section + ending slide) if one exists

Required Pre-Flight Report block:

## Pre-Flight Report

**Sources read:**
- [source 1]: [one-line takeaway — what notation, what result, what diagram]
- [source 2]: ...

**Notation registry check:**
- New symbols this lecture will introduce: [list]
- Symbols reused from prior lectures: [list, with the lecture each was introduced in]
- Conflicts detected: [none / specific clashes]

**Narrative position:** [Where does this lecture sit in the course arc? What did the previous lecture end on? What does the next lecture need you to set up?]

**Pedagogical goal:** [one sentence]

**Running application:** [which real-world example threads through this deck]
