What it does

Beamer Presentation is an agent skill from meleantonio/awesome-econ-ai-stuff. Create academic presentations in Beamer with professional themes

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `index.md`). Compatibility notes: ["claude-code","cursor","codex","gemini-cli"]

It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Slides and decks. The repository describes itself as: AI Skills for Economists.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve LaTeX
  • Tasks that involve Slides and decks

Example prompts

  • “/beamer-presentation”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): ["claude-code","cursor","codex","gemini-cli"]

Workflow steps

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

  1. Understand the Context
  2. Structure by Time
  3. Follow Presentation Best Practices

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dd890d5. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • brown.edu
    • ctan.org
    • github.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    ["claude-code","cursor","codex","gemini-cli"]

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Beamer Presentation loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.
