What it does
Create Lecture is an agent skill from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow. Create a new Beamer lecture .tex from source papers and materials, with notation consistency checks and the project's preamble wired in. Use when user says "create a lecture on X", "new lecture from these papers", "start a deck on topic Y", "scaffold a new Beamer file", "build me a lecture from these PDFs". Scaffolds the full deck — NOT for compiling existing .tex (use /compile-latex).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Project scaffolding. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: A ready-to-fork Claude Code template for academics using LaTeX/Beamer + R. Multi-agent review, quality gates, adversarial QA, and replication protocols. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- User says create a lecture on X
- New lecture from these papers
- Start a deck on topic Y
- Scaffold a new Beamer file
Example prompts
- “s preamble wired in. Use when user says”
- “new lecture from these papers”
- “start a deck on topic Y”
- “/create-lecture”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Bash, Agent, Task
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae72617. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlobWriteEditBashAgentTask
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 markdown).
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
Create Lecture loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 445 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Bash, Agent, Task
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.

Lecture Creation Workflow
Create a beautiful, pedagogically excellent Beamer lecture deck.
This is a collaborative, iterative process. The instructor drives the vision; Claude is a thinking partner.
CONSTRAINTS (Non-Negotiable)
- Read the knowledge base FIRST — notation registry, narrative arc, applications database
- Every new symbol MUST be checked against the notation registry
- Motivation before formalism — no exceptions
- Worked example within 2 slides of every definition
- Max 2 colored boxes per slide
- No
\pauseor overlay commands (check project rules) - Transition slides at major conceptual pivots
- Thread at least 1 running empirical application throughout
- All citations verified against the bibliography
- Work in batches of 5-10 slides — share for feedback, don't bulk-dump
WORKFLOW
Phase 0: Intake & Context (Pre-Flight Report required)
Read the inputs, then produce a Pre-Flight Report in your response before Phase 1 starts.
Inputs to read:
.claude/rules/knowledge-base-template.md— notation registry, narrative arc, applications.claude/rules/content-invariants.md— INV-1..INV-8 govern slide content- Any source papers / existing slides the user provided
- The previous lecture's
.tex(last section + ending slide) if one exists
Required Pre-Flight Report block:
## Pre-Flight Report
**Sources read:**
- [source 1]: [one-line takeaway — what notation, what result, what diagram]
- [source 2]: ...
**Notation registry check:**
- New symbols this lecture will introduce: [list]
- Symbols reused from prior lectures: [list, with the lecture each was introduced in]
- Conflicts detected: [none / specific clashes]
**Narrative position:** [Where does this lecture sit in the course arc? What did the previous lecture end on? What does the next lecture need you to set up?]
**Pedagogical goal:** [one sentence]
**Running application:** [which real-world example threads through this deck]State the pedagogical goal, get user confirmation, then proceed.
First-lecture fallback (fresh fork, empty knowledge base). If .claude/rules/knowledge-base-template.md still has unfilled placeholder tables (no notation registry entries, no applications, no prior lectures in Slides/), do NOT halt waiting for it. Instead:
- Acknowledge the template is empty and we're creating the course's first lecture.
- Propose a minimal starter knowledge base from the user's topic: 5-8 key symbols with conventions, 1-2 running applications, a short narrative arc (intro → main idea → implications). Present for approval.
- Write the approved stub into the knowledge base template so subsequent lectures inherit it.
- Continue to Phase 1.
This prevents /create-lecture from deadlocking for every new forker.
Show full SKILL.md (154 more words)Show less
Phase 1: Paper Analysis (When Papers Provided)
- Split into chunks, extract key ideas
- Map paper notation → course notation
- Identify slide-worthy content
- Present summary for approval
Phase 2: Structure Proposal
- Propose outline (5-Act or 3-Part template)
- List TikZ diagrams and R figures needed
- List new notation to introduce
- GATE: User approves before Phase 3
Phase 3: Draft Slides (Iterative)
- Work in batches of 5-10 slides
- Check notation, apply creation patterns
- Quality checks during drafting
Phase 4: Figures & Code
- R scripts following conventions
- TikZ diagrams in Beamer source (single source of truth)
- Save RDS for future Quarto integration
Phase 5: Polish & Compile
- Full 3-pass compilation
- Run Devil's Advocate
- Run Substance Review (if domain reviewer configured)
- Update knowledge base with new notation
Post-Creation Checklist

[ ] No overfull hbox > 10pt
[ ] All citations resolve
[ ] Every definition has motivation + worked example
[ ] Max 2 colored boxes per slide
[ ] 2-3 Socratic questions embedded
