What it does
Slide Generation is an agent skill from lingzhi227/agent-research-skills. Convert a completed paper into presentation slides (Beamer LaTeX) or poster. Extract key figures, tables, equations, and create a narrative flow for oral presentation. Identified gap in existing tools — designed from best practices.
Its SKILL.md is about 860 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/slide-templates.md` and `scripts/extract_paper_elements.py`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Skills for Claude Code — deep-research: systematic academic literature review.
When your agent uses it

- Tasks that involve LaTeX
Example prompts

Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Extract Key Content
- Design Slide Structure
- Generate Beamer LaTeX
- Simplify for Presentation
- Generate Poster Layout (Optional)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e6c085. 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
Slide Generation loads about 863 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 274 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.

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 274 words (~863 tokens).
