What it does

PDF Ppt is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Create literature-report PPTX decks from PDF papers. Use when you must extract a paper’s metadata, summarize the study, interpret Results/Figures/Tables, and generate slides with 1:1 figure-to-text alignment and layout rules (triggered by requests like “PDF to PPT”, “literature report slides”, or “turn this paper into a presentation”).

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `pdf-ppt_audit_result_v1.json` and `references/figure-interpretation.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations, Slides and decks and PDF. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You must extract a papers metadata
  • Summarize the study
  • Interpret Results/Figures/Tables
  • Generate slides with 1:1 figure-to-text alignment and layout rules (triggered by requests like PDF to PPT

Example prompts

  • “PDF to PPT”
  • “literature report slides”
  • “turn this paper into a presentation”
  • “/pdf-ppt”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Offline-first PDF collection (must not call external APIs)
  2. Figure/table interpretation rules (Chinese, precise, aligned)
  3. Figure titles and localization
  4. Consistent per-deck styling parameters
  5. PPT layout constraints (Match v5 slides)
  6. PPTX editing integration

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    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

PDF Ppt loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 766 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

When to Use

  • Converting a research paper PDF into a literature-report PPTX with a standard academic slide structure (title → overview → results → conclusion).
  • When the user requires figure-by-figure interpretation (including subpanels) and strict 1:1 mapping between each figure/table and slide content.
  • When you must work offline-first (no external API calls) to extract text, figures, legends, and tables from a PDF.
  • When the PPT must match a provided layout script (positions, aspect ratios, text boxes) and keep consistent styling across the deck.
  • When the output narration must be professional Chinese, concise, and technically accurate.

Key Features

  • Offline-first PDF parsing to extract:
    • Title, journal, publication date, section text
    • Figure images and legends grouped by figure number
    • Tables and (optionally) graphical abstract
  • Full-paper summary in professional Chinese (background + key findings).
  • Results interpretation aligned per figure/subfigure, avoiding vague references.
  • PPTX generation with:
    • Fixed slide structure (Title / Overview / Figure slides / Final summary)
    • Layout constraints matching a v5-style deck (coordinates, font sizes)
    • Consistent panel-label styling and per-deck label color
    • Per-figure slide “Summary:” one-liner
  • Integration guidance for PPTX editing via D:\\SKILL\\project\\PPTX\\SKILL.md.

Dependencies

  • Local offline parsing workflow: references/offline-parsing.md (version: N/A, repository-local)
  • Figure/table interpretation rules: references/figure-interpretation.md (version: N/A, repository-local)
  • PPTX creation/editing skill: D:\\SKILL\\project\\PPTX\\SKILL.md (version: N/A, local path)
  • Optional local mapping file: figure_titles_zh.txt (version: N/A, user/project-provided)

Example Usage

Input (user request)

Please convert this paper PDF into a literature-report PPT.
Requirements: interpret each figure, keep figure-to-text alignment, and follow the v5 layout rules.

Expected Workflow Output (offline-first → structured → PPTX)
  1. Offline parse the PDF (no external APIs), following references/offline-parsing.md, and produce a local structured package:

    • Cleaned metadata text: title, journal/date, headings
    • Figure legends grouped by figure number
    • Extracted images named:
      • Figure_1.jpg, Figure_2.jpg, ...
    • Graphical abstract image (if present)
    • Draft explication.json aligned to figure order
  2. Write Chinese content:

    • Full-paper summary (background + key findings)
    • Figure-by-figure Results interpretation (purpose → method → object → outcome)
    • Concise critical appraisal (core contributions + internal limitations)
  3. Generate PPTX with the required slide structure and layout constraints:

    • Slide 1: Title + metadata (journal/date/presenter/report date)
    • Slide 2: Overview (two text boxes; graphical abstract if present)
    • Middle slides: one slide per figure/table in original order
    • Final slide: overall summary + critical appraisal
Minimal runnable “deck plan” (content-to-slide mapping)

Implementation Details

1) Offline-first PDF collection (must not call external APIs)

Follow references/offline-parsing.md and produce a local structured output containing:

  • Cleaned text fields:
    • title, journal, publication_date
    • section headings and key paragraphs (abstract/intro/results)
  • Figures:
    • images exported and named Figure_1.jpg, Figure_2.jpg, ...
    • legends grouped by figure number
  • Tables:
    • extracted table content and captions (as text or images, depending on the workflow)
  • Graphical abstract:
    • capture image and approximate placement if present
  • Draft explication.json:
    • ordered by figure appearance
    • each entry links legend → image filename → planned slide text blocks

Ignore supplementary items (e.g., Figure S1) unless explicitly requested.

Show full SKILL.md (319 more words)Show less
2) Figure/table interpretation rules (Chinese, precise, aligned)

Use references/figure-interpretation.md and enforce:

  • 1:1 mapping: every figure/table must be covered by exactly one corresponding slide section (or one slide if required).
  • Each result paragraph must be complete:
    • experimental purpose → method → object → concrete outcome (increase/decrease, up/down, etc.)
  • Avoid vague phrases like “as shown in the figure”.
  • Remove any leading # markers from figure body lines.
  • Bold leading panel labels and ranges:
    • A, A, B, A-C → **A**, **A, B**, **A-C**
  • Add a one-sentence line at the end of each figure slide:
    • **Summary:** <one-sentence key result>
    • Style “Summary” like panel labels (bold + label color)
3) Figure titles and localization
  • Slide titles should use: Figure X: <figure title> when a title can be extracted (e.g., from “Figure 1. ...”).
  • Convert figure titles to Chinese when possible.
  • Prefer a local mapping file figure_titles_zh.txt if available:
    • Format: Figure_1<TAB>Chinese Title
4) Consistent per-deck styling parameters
  • Panel label color: randomly choose one per deck from:
    • #2C5F2D, #F96167, #065A82, #990011
  • Apply the same chosen color across all slides.
  • Animations:
    • Randomly choose one slide transition preset and one entrance preset per deck
    • Keep them consistent across all slides
    • Reveal order: title → text → image
5) PPT layout constraints (Match v5 slides)

If a user-provided layout script is accessible, follow it. Otherwise, use the following fixed coordinates (inches) and typography:

  • Title slide
    • Title box: (2.0825, 1.796, 9.1683, 1.2), 32pt bold, centered
    • Metadata block (left = 4.8673, width = 6.0, height = 0.6):
      • Journal: top 4.5049, 18pt
      • Presenter/date: top 5.2327 and 5.9049, 16pt
  • Overview slide
    • Background box: (0.6, 0.6, 5.8, 6.2)
    • Findings box: (0.6, 3.4, 5.8, 3.4)
    • Image: (7.0, 0.8, 5.8, 5.6)
  • Figure slides
    • Title: (0.6, 0.2, 12.0, 0.6), 22pt bold
    • Text box: (0.7749, 1.5102, 4.7498, 2.861), 14pt
    • Image: (7.0, 1.0, 5.8, 5.8)
  • Summary slide
    • Add borders
    • “Core Highlights” box: (0.6, 0.6, 5.8, 3.0)
    • “Internal Limitations” box: (6.7, 3.9, 6.0, 3.0)
6) PPTX editing integration

When creating or editing a .pptx, also follow the PPTX editing guidelines in:

  • D:\\SKILL\\project\\PPTX\\SKILL.md
