paper-talk

paper-talk is a skill for Claude Code from wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep. It costs 113 tokens per session (5,268 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An end-to-end workflow for turning a completed research paper into a conference talk. It can produce a slide outline, Beamer source, an editable PowerPoint deck, speaker notes, a talk script, and assurance reports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare draft, polished, or conference-ready talks for venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, VALSE, and other research conferences.
Why use it?
It gathers slide creation, visual polishing, and checks into one process. The assurance options help match the amount of checking to whether the talk is for practice, a seminar, or a closely reviewed submission.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is │ ├── references.bib → ../../../paper/references.bib # symlink to source paper bib for /citation-audit.

Good fit Use it to prepare draft, polished, or conference-ready talks for venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, VALSE, and other research conferences.

About the project

ARIS is a collection of Markdown-based skills that define a workflow for autonomous machine-learning research, including idea discovery, experiment automation, and review loops. Researchers and AI coding agents use it across tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw without depending on a single framework. The catalogue entries are ARIS workflow skills and agents.

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

paper-talk 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 13d 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.

Paper Talk: End-to-End Conference Talk Pipeline

Workflow: from a completed paper to a conference-ready talk artifact — slide outline, Beamer source, editable PPTX, speaker notes, full talk script, polished visuals, and assurance checks.

Pipeline target: $ARGUMENTS

Assurance Ladder

The skill takes an explicit — assurance: argument; default is polished.

Level Phases run Use when
draft 0 → 1 → 2 → 5 → 6 Internal practice talk; quick first-pass deck
polished (default) 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 5 → 6 Lab seminar, workshop, default conference talk
conference-ready (or submission) 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 Top-venue oral / spotlight where slide claims are scrutinised; or anonymous submission

Phase 4 (assurance checks) is opt-in via — assurance: conference-ready. The lower levels skip claim / citation / anonymity audits, which is correct when content has already been audited at the paper-writing stage.

Hard Invariants

These are non-negotiable across all phases:

  1. Original paper is read-only. This workflow consumes the paper directory; it never modifies paper/main.tex or other paper artifacts.
  2. Original deck is preserved. /paper-slides produces a baseline deck; /slides-polish writes a _polished versioned copy. The original Beamer + PPTX are never overwritten.
  3. Speaker notes are byte-stable. Polish must not change slide.notes_slide content. Phase 4 verifies this.
  4. No new content anywhere in the pipeline. All slide text, speaker notes, talk script, Q&A answers, claims, numbers, citations, URLs, author names, affiliations, anonymity placeholders, and experiment results must be either paper-grounded (extracted from PAPER_DIR/ artefacts) or explicitly user-provided. The pipeline never invents content during outline, build, polish, audit, or export. Phase-4 anonymity scan + claim audit verify this end-to-end.
  5. No slide reordering. Add / drop / reorder requires explicit user flags.
  6. Cross-model independence. Per-page Codex calls in /slides-polish use fresh threads (no codex-reply). See ../shared-references/reviewer-independence.md.
  7. Anonymity fail-closed. If any audit (or any Codex fix proposal) would replace a placeholder with a real title / count / URL, the workflow halts and surfaces the proposal for human review. See ../shared-references/experiment-integrity.md.
  8. Style references are guidance, not text source. A — reference: PDF or — style: preset informs visual weight and structural rhythm; never copy prose, examples, slide titles, or speaker-note text from the reference.
  9. Final report cannot be conference-ready unless required audits pass. Phase 6 verifies and downgrades verdict if audits fail.
  10. reasoning_effort: xhigh is invariant across all effort levels for any Codex call invoked by sub-skills.

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.

paper-talk is a skill published in the GitHub repository wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep (16,030 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 113 tokens to every session and 5,268 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
