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.

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 | $0.00189 | $0.02026 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00095 | $0.01013 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00038 | $0.00405 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00203 |
Grade A, and why
make-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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Make Slides
Turn an accepted (or nearly-done) paper into a conference talk deck —
Beamer .tex or Marp markdown — built around a problem-first story, one
claim per slide, the paper's own figures, and a slide count the slot can
actually afford. The deck is the deliverable; the timed word-by-word
script and Q&A drill are separate skills (write-talk-script,
rehearse-qa).
When to use
- The paper got accepted and a talk slot is coming: build the deck.
- The user has a slot length ("12 minutes plus 3 Q&A", "5-minute lightning") and needs a deck that fits it.
- An existing deck is overlong, text-heavy, or paper-shaped and needs to be cut down to a talk.
Related skills: write-talk-script (timed speaker script for the deck),
rehearse-qa (hostile/curious Q&A drill), make-poster (poster +
2-min/5-min pitches), study-exemplars (how strong papers at the venue
frame contributions), verify-citations (gate for any reference that
appears on a slide).
Inputs
- The paper's main
.texfile (preferred — figures are harvested from source) or the PDF plus the figure files. - The slot length and Q&A split, from the venue's presenter instructions or acceptance email. This is the one fact the skill cannot look up: venue profiles do not encode talk slots (they change year to year and per track). If the user does not know it, stop and ask — see references/venue-timing.md.
- Optional:
venues/conferences/<id>.ymlfor venue context (name, track, live URLs). Re-verify anything taken from a profile against the livecfp_url/ venue site before the user relies on it. - Output format choice: Beamer (LaTeX toolchain, vector figures reused as-is) or Marp (markdown, fast iteration, figures must be PNG/SVG). Decision guide: references/deck-formats.md.
Process
1. Pin down the slot, then budget the deck
Confirm slot minutes and Q&A minutes with the user (ask; never assert a slot length from memory or from a venue profile — typical shapes and the verification checklist are in references/venue-timing.md). Then run, from the repo root:
What ships with it
6 files 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.

make-slides is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skills (42 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 189 tokens to every session and 2,026 once invoked, about $0.0009 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 2026-08-30.
