slides-polish

slides-polish is a skill for Claude Code from wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep. It costs 136 tokens per session (7,865 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A final review and layout-fixing workflow for academic presentation slides in PowerPoint or Beamer, a LaTeX-based slide system. It checks each page and applies targeted typography and spacing corrections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to adjust font sizes, text layout, callout styling, spacing, and projector readability after a slide deck has been generated.
Why use it?
It improves readability and visual balance in an existing deck without changing its research content. It is intended for a final pass when the slides are mostly complete.

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

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 3d 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

Before each reviewer slot, follow Selectable Reviewers: resolve invocation → .aris/reviewer.json → Codex default (fresh native reviewer) with reviewer_route.py through the canonical helper resolver, preserving this slot's tier, fresh contexts, source/image inputs and deterministic gates. Codex examples/pins below apply only to backend=codex; other routes use their own first-call/reply contract. Save the route and actual returned identity; unavailable selections are REVIEW_UNAVAILABLE. Classify acceptance from actual families/completion/scope. Forward invocation reviewer/model/effort overrides to reviewer-bearing children. Generation workers are unchanged.

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.
