SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning research papers, notes, figures, and code into a coherent presentation deck requires manual curation and formatting. This Skill automates that process by scanning your workspace or GPD project, establishing a presentation brief, and producing structured slide source files under a slides/ directory. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context-Aware Source Discovery: Automatically inventories GPD project files, papers, figures, notebooks, data tables, and existing slide assets before drafting anything. - Multi-Format Deck Output: Produces Beamer/LaTeX decks, markdown-based slides (Marp, reveal-style), or editable native decks depending on audience and runtime capability. - Structured Deliverables: Writes a presentation brief, outline, deck source, and optional speaker notes with a clear narrative arc. - Use Case: After finishing a GPD research run on plasma turbulence, ask for a 15-minute conference talk deck; the Skill reads the paper draft and figures, confirms the brief, and generates slides/main.tex plus an outline. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a 15-minute Beamer conference talk for plasma physics specialists based on the current GPD project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create presentation slides from a research paper or project?▼

Run the slides workflow in a folder containing your paper, figures, or GPD project. It scans for source material, asks a compact set of briefing questions about audience and format, then writes a brief, outline, and deck source files under slides/.

What slide formats does this workflow support?▼

It supports Beamer/LaTeX decks, markdown-based slides such as Marp or reveal-style, and editable native decks when the runtime can author them reliably. Beamer is the default recommendation for equation-heavy physics talks.

Does it work without an initialized GPD project?▼

Yes. It operates in projectless mode by scanning the current folder for papers, notes, figures, code, data, and existing slide assets. If no meaningful source material exists, it asks what the presentation should be based on.

What happens if a slides directory already exists?▼

The workflow asks you to choose between Refresh, which rewrites the deck from the new brief, Update, which revises the existing deck in place, or Skip, which leaves existing artifacts untouched.

Will it install LaTeX or presentation tooling automatically?▼

No. It never installs TeX, renderers, or other dependencies without explicit approval. If a compile tool like latexmk or pdflatex is missing, it reports the limitation instead of installing anything.
