Use this skill whenever the user wants to create or improve a presentation for an academic context — conference papers, seminar talks, thesis defenses, grant briefings, lab meetings, invited lectures, or any presentation where the audience will evaluate reasoning and evidence. Triggers include: 'conference talk', 'seminar slides', 'thesis defense', 'research presentation', 'academic deck', 'academic presentation'. Also triggers when the user asks to 'make slides' in combination with academic content (e.g., 'make slides for my paper on X', 'create a presentation for my dissertation defense', 'build a deck for my grant proposal'). This skill governs CONTENT and STRUCTURE decisions. For the technical work of creating or editing the .pptx file itself, also read the pptx SKILL.md.

# Academic Presentations Skill ## How This Skill Works This skill has two layers: 1. **This file** — governs content, argument structure, and design standards for academic presentations. Read it fully before planning any slides. 2. **PPTX skill** — governs the technical implementation (creating, editing, and QA-ing the .pptx file). Read it too. **Always read both before writing any code or creating any files.** --- ## Quick Reference | Task | Guide | |------|-------| | Content planning, argument structure, slide-by-slide rules | [content_guidelines.md](content_guidelines.md) | | Per-slide-type patterns (title, methods, results, etc.) | [slide_patterns.md](slide_patterns.md) | | Technical creation from scratch | PPTX skill → `pptxgenjs.md` | | Technical editing of an existing file | PPTX skill → `editing.md` | --- ## Step 1: Identify Presentation Type Before planning a single slide, determine which mode applies. ### Structured Argument (default for academic work) Use for: conference papers, seminar talks, thesis defenses, dissertation chapters, grant briefings, internal lab presentations, policy briefings, consulting-style research deliverables. **Priority order: argument structure → data → layout → aesthetics.** Follow [content_guidelines.md](content_guidelines.md) in full. ### Visual / Narrative Use for: public engagement talks, science communication to non-specialist audiences, funding pitches to lay panels, event keynotes. Follow the PPTX skill's design-fo...

pptx

Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.
