academic-pptxlisted

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 > **Source.** This skill is adapted from [`Gabberflast/academic-pptx-skill`](https://github.com/Gabberflast/academic-pptx-skill). The SKILL.md, content_guidelines.md, and slide_patterns.md supporting files are derived from Gabberflast's originals; this fork retains the "Structured Argument" mode, ghost-deck test, action titles, and communication-first design unchanged, and adapts the trigger surface for quantitative-marketing audiences (MKSCI / JMR / JCR / MS seminars, MBA teaching, grant briefings). ## 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
