What it does
Paper Talk is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. End-to-end conference talk pipeline: paper → slide outline → Beamer + PPTX → per-page polish → assurance checks (claim / citation / anonymity) → final export and report. Default-good for academic conference talks (NeurIPS / ICML / ICLR / VALSE / 投稿 talks). Trigger phrases: "做 talk", "做 PPT 全流程", "talk pipeline", "end-to-end slides", "做演讲", "conference talk full workflow". Use when the user wants the complete talk artifact, not just a slide deck.
Its SKILL.md is about 5.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks, PowerPoint presentations and LaTeX. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.
When your agent uses it
- Phrases: 做 talk
- End-to-end slides
- Conference talk full workflow
- The user wants the complete talk artifact
Example prompts
- “做 talk”
- “做 PPT 全流程”
- “talk pipeline”
- “/paper-talk”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Agent, Skill, mcp__codex__codex
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Setup
- Slide Outline (Checkpoint)
- Build Baseline Deck
- Visual Polish (when assurance ≥ polished)
- Assurance Checks (when assurance == conference-ready)
- Final Export + Integrity
- Final Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash(*)ReadWriteEditGrepGlobAgentSkillmcp__codex__codex
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3soffice
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Paper Talk loads about 5.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,985 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Agent, Skill, mcp__codex__codex
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,985 words (~5,114 tokens).
“Workflow: from a completed paper to a conference-ready talk artifact — slide outline, Beamer source, editable PPTX, speaker notes, full talk script, polished visuals, and assurance checks.”
