Paper2ppt

Turn research papers into concise, editable PPT decks with a restrained discussion-class whiteboard style. Use when Codex needs to read a paper PDF or paper notes, optionally borrow Paper2Slides for content planning, and then create a simple editable PPTX for paper reading, discussion sessions, group meetings, or seminar reports.

Paper2PPT

Create editable paper-reading decks in a restrained whiteboard style. This skill is for discussion slides, not marketing decks.

Default Style

White background.
One large title near the top.
Left side or top area uses grouped unordered bullets.
Group headers are larger and usually red.
Body bullets are smaller and black.
Use figures and tables from the paper as evidence, not decoration.
Remove meaningless cards or floating boxes unless the user explicitly asks for them.

Core Workflow

Read the paper PDF or notes first.
Extract a small narrative arc instead of copying the paper section by section.
If useful, use Paper2Slides as an upstream planning/reference stage only.
Reorganize the content into the requested slide outline.
Build an editable .pptx, not screenshots.
Keep titles and bullets editable text; keep paper figures/tables as evidence images.

Default Seven-Slide Arc

Use this when the user wants a standard paper-reading deck:

Research Problem + Challenges
Prior Work + Observation
Insight + Architecture Overview
Detailed Design I
Detailed Design II
Evaluation I
Evaluation II

Layout Rules

Keep each slide to 2-3 bullet groups.
Prefer unordered bullets over paragraphs.
Make group headers visibly larger than body text.
Keep one main visual area per slide.
Do not put meaningless summary cards in the middle-upper area.
On evaluation slides, put the headline metric or conclusion in red.

Paper2Slides Integration

When the user explicitly wants Paper2Slides or when it helps:

Use Paper2Slides for paper parsing, summary extraction, or slide-plan inspiration.
Do not rely on Paper2Slides image-only output as the final deliverable when the user wants editable PPT.
Treat Paper2Slides as the planning/source-extraction stage, then rebuild the final deck as editable PPTX.

Read references/workflow.md for the full hybrid workflow and packaging notes.

Bundled Source

This skill includes a full example project under assets/example-boosting-resource-leak-7slides/:

build/build_deck.mjs: editable PPTX builder source
narrative_plan.md: slide narrative
assets/: paper figure/table screenshots
preview/: rendered slide previews
verification/summary.json: export summary
boosting-resource-leak-paper2slides-7slides.pptx: final example deck

It also includes a vendored upstream copy of Paper2Slides under vendor/Paper2Slides/.

Use this example as a reference implementation when creating similar discussion-style decks.
