What it does

Sci Ppt is an agent skill from ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write. Generate professional academic PowerPoint (PPTX) presentations from paper PDFs, structured outlines, or plain text. Use for thesis defense, seminar reports, literature presentations, and graduate school applications. Supports automatic figure extraction, LaTeX formula rendering, and bilingual (Chinese/English) layouts.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 50 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `_meta.json` and `references/rules.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations, LaTeX and Translation. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint and LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Academic research skills suite for AI Agent — literature search/download (WoS+Elsevier+Springer), PDF extraction, figure cropping, review writing, Zotero sync, and PPT/Html… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Format: Use 1. Title for chapters and - Point for bullets.
Markdown: 🚫 DO NOT use ## for slide titles; it is not recognized by the parser.
Innovation: Identify the core innovation of the paper and highlight it in Red.
Imagery: Use HD extraction (600 DPI) for figures; minimum width >= 300px.
No Scrapping: 🚫 PROHIBITED to scrap low-quality bitmaps from PDF streams.
Formulas: Render LaTeX formulas as high-quality transparent PNGs.
Transparency: All generated formula/media assets must have transparent backgrounds.
Feedback: Inform the user if an operation (like PDF parsing) will take >10 seconds.
Final Output: 🚫 DO NOT output intermediate Markdown; generate and provide the .pptx directly.
Colors: Use #1E3A5F (Primary Blue) and #EE0000 (Highlight Red).
Layout: Ensure zero text-overflow or figure-text overlap.
Professionalism: Keep communication brief and technical; skip AI pleasantries.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 357766f. 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 script files (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
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

Sci Ppt loads about 757 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~757
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~1.5k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
