What it does
Paper Slide Deck is an agent skill from luwill/research-skills. Use when the user wants visually striking, shareable slide-deck IMAGES from any content — an article, blog post, topic, or paper — where look-and-feel matters more than editable precision (风格化幻灯/小红书配图/公众号配图/视觉化海报), optimized for reading and social sharing rather than live presentation. Offers 17 T2I aesthetic styles (watercolor, sketch-notes, pixel-art, editorial, chalkboard, etc.); each slide is an AI-generated image (Gemini/Nano Banana), so the look is distinctive but text/math/data are baked into the image…
Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 41 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/analysis-framework.md`, `references/base-prompt.md` and `references/content-rules.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and Image generation. It works with Google Gemini. The repository describes itself as: Some commonly used research experiences and processes are encapsulated into Agent skills.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants visually striking
- Shareable slide-deck IMAGES from any content — an article

- Optimized for reading and social sharing rather than live presentation
Example prompts
- “/paper-slide-deck”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
- A credential in GOOGLE_API_KEY
- A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 633d2b5. 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/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxnpmpython3pip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, npm and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GOOGLE_API_KEYGEMINI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Paper Slide Deck loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~28k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 204 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,874 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 1,874 words (~4,614 tokens).
“Transform academic papers and content into professional slide deck images with automatic figure extraction.”
