Generate LaTeX Beamer slide decks using my defined style and conventions.

  • The user asks to create slides
  • SKILL.md covers Compiler requirements, Document structure, Slide design principles and Table formatting, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Beamer content — for teaching

What it does

Beamer Slides Teaching is an agent skill from aspi6246/Claude-Code-Skills-for-Academics. Generate LaTeX Beamer slide decks using my defined style and conventions. Use this skill whenever the user asks to create slides, a presentation, a lecture deck, or Beamer content — for teaching.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `references/rhetoric_of_decks.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Skills for academics.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create slides
  • Beamer content — for teaching

Example prompts

  • “/beamer-slides-teaching”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a8f112. 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 latex).

    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

Beamer Slides Teaching loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7k

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.

SKILL.md
