- Turning a research paper into a conference talk deck

- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls ffmpeg, brew and pip; reaches github.com; needs ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
What it does
The skill produces academic slide decks, and optionally narrated demo videos, from research papers. The human drives every outline and visual decision and the agent executes. The pipeline has four stages: a script or outline draft from the paper and your plan, slide generation, optional TTS audio and optional video assembly. You can enter at any stage, or skip the last two for slides only.
Slides are generated with nanobanana, a Gemini CLI extension, preferring its /edit command on existing paper figures, existing slides or your reference decks over generating from scratch, with a deck-style.md written once per deck and prepended to prompts for slides generated from scratch. For narration, edge-tts is the default, Kokoro is a local engine for offline batch runs and ElevenLabs is also listed, each with a reference or batch script. Video is assembled with ffmpeg.
Reference files cover slide generation, TTS engines and PPTX conversion. The agent drafts scripts from your outline but does not choose the slide count, order or what to emphasize.
When your agent uses it
- Turning a research paper into a conference talk deck
- Producing narration scripts and TTS audio for each slide
- Assembling a demo video from slides and audio
- Converting generated slides into a PPTX file
Example prompts
- “Make a conference talk deck from ./papers/diffusion-survey.pdf using my outline in ./talk/outline.md.”
- “Draft narration scripts for each slide and generate the audio with Kokoro.”
- “Assemble the slides and audio in ./talk into a demo video.”
Requirements
- The nanobanana extension for Gemini CLI
- edge-tts or Kokoro, for narration
- ffmpeg, for video assembly
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Script / Outline
- Slide Generation
- TTS Audio (optional)
- Video Assembly (optional)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d51b64e. 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 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ffmpegbrewpipclaudesofficepdftoppmgemini
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Academic Presentation Maker loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 504 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 504 words (~1,521 tokens).
“Produce slide decks (and optionally narrated demo videos) from research papers. The human drives all outline and visual decisions — the agent executes.”

Can I use Academic Presentation Maker in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add OpenLAIR/dr-claw --skill making-academic-presentations -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/making-academic-presentations, .gemini/skills/making-academic-presentations, .github/skills/making-academic-presentations and .opencode/skills/making-academic-presentations in your project.
What does Academic Presentation Maker need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Academic Presentation Maker needs Python for the scripts in its folder, the command-line tools its instructions call (ffmpeg, brew, pip, claude, soffice and pdftoppm) and credentials named ELEVENLABS_API_KEY. Our summary lists: The nanobanana extension for Gemini CLI; edge-tts or Kokoro, for narration; ffmpeg, for video assembly.
Does Academic Presentation Maker access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: github.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Academic Presentation Maker safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Academic Presentation Maker use?
Academic Presentation Maker has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Academic Presentation Maker use?
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.9k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
