What it does
Paper Slides is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Build or revise academic Beamer slides from a research paper (LaTeX manuscript or PDF), following Weikai Li's slide style guide. Use this skill whenever the user asks to create slides, a deck, a talk, or a presentation from a paper, manuscript, draft, or working paper — including "make slides from my paper", "seminar deck", "conference presentation", "turn main.tex into a talk", "prepare slides for the seminar/conference", "update my slides with the new results", or any request involving Beamer decks derived from…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/SLIDES_STYLE_GUIDE_short.md` and `scripts/verify_slides.py`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to create slides
- A presentation from a paper
- Working paper — including make slides from my paper
- Conference presentation
Example prompts
- “make slides from my paper”
- “seminar deck”
- “conference presentation”
- “/paper-slides”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Gather inputs
- Read the style guide (never skip)
- Extract content with strict fidelity
- Frame budget by mode
- Write the deck
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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 Slides loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 173 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,090 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 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,090 words (~2,305 tokens).
“Build publication-grade Beamer decks from a research paper. Two modes with different page budgets. The paper's tables and figures go in verbatim; the style guide governs everything else.”
