slides-polish

slides-polish is a skill for Claude Code from raja21068/AutoResearch. It costs 136 tokens per session (7,607 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of slides-polish, MIT.

A final visual review and editing pass for existing academic presentation slides in PPTX or Beamer format. Beamer is a system for creating slides with LaTeX.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to adjust fonts, text boxes, callouts, spacing, and other presentation details after a slide deck has already been generated.
Why use it?
It fixes layout and typography problems that can make slides hard to read or visually unbalanced. It keeps the original claims, results, citations, and slide order unchanged.

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

slides-polish 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 8d 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.

Slides Polish: Per-Page Codex Review + Targeted Layout Fixes

Polish a generated slide deck — Beamer (.tex + .pdf) and/or PPTX — by running per-page Codex review against a reference visual and applying surgical fixes (font scaling, text-frame resize, callout-box style, em-dash spacing, anonymity placeholders, Chinese-font hints, italic style leaks) until each slide reads at the same visual weight as the reference.

Polish: $ARGUMENTS

What This Skill Is — and Is NOT

This skill polishes layout and typography only. It is the post-generation visual pass for an existing deck.

Hard scope rules (load-bearing — see Hard Invariants):

  • It does not rewrite content, claims, numbers, citations, URLs, author names, affiliations, or experiment results.
  • It does not add, remove, or reorder slides unless the user explicitly asks (e.g., — add-slide / — drop-slide flags).
  • It does not generate outlines, speaker scripts, or new Beamer/PPTX from paper source. That is /paper-slides's job.
  • It does not change figures or equations content.

If you do not yet have a deck, run /paper-slides first. If you want to change content, go back to /paper-slides Phases 1-2 (or rewrite the outline manually) — do not run /slides-polish for that.

Constants

  • REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-5.5 — Codex MCP model for per-page review. xhigh reasoning is non-negotiable (see ../shared-references/effort-contract.md). gpt-5.4 is acceptable when the user has no gpt-5.5 access; gpt-5.5 is preferred for visual nuance.
  • REVIEWER_REASONING = xhigh — Hard invariant; the effort knob does not change this.
  • CONTEXT_POLICY = fresh — Each per-page review uses a fresh Codex thread (mcp__codex__codex, never codex-reply). See ../shared-references/reviewer-independence.md. This prevents the reviewer from anchoring on prior fixes.
  • REFERENCE_VISUAL — Path to a PDF the user wants the polished deck to align with in visual weight (typography proportion, color discipline, callout density). Required input. If polishing PPTX only, the Beamer compile of the same talk is the ideal reference. If no reference exists yet, ask the user; do not silently default to "Why-RF" or any preset.
  • STYLE_PRESET = generic — Default style anchor. Other options: why-rf (academic-minimalist, derived from a 2025 academic talk), neurips, icml, iclr, cvpr. Presets influence color discipline + element library; the reference PDF is the visual ground truth, not the preset.
  • PPTX_SCALE_HINT = 1.6× — Heuristic multiplier from Beamer point sizes to PPTX point sizes for matched visual weight on 13.33"×7.5" PowerPoint at 16:9. Range 1.5-1.8×. The actual scale is always validated by visual review, never blindly applied.
  • INTERACTIVE = false — When false, applies the recommended fix automatically and continues to the next slide. When true (— interactive), pauses for user confirmation before each fix.
  • OUTPUT_VERSIONING = on — Output is a versioned file named <input-stem>_polished.<ext> (or _polished_v2, _v3, …). Snapshot of the input is preserved as <input-stem>_pre_polish.<ext>. The original is never overwritten. All edit operations target the _polished working copy.

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.
