## What it does

The paper-slides skill takes a compiled paper from the `paper/` directory and builds conference presentation assets inside `slides/`. It outputs Beamer LaTeX and editable PPTX files. Every slide includes speaker notes in `\note{}` blocks alongside a complete spoken transcript. The build pipeline uses `latexmk` with `pdflatex` by default, or `xelatex` when processing CJK text.

Talk types adapt directly to time slots: poster-talk runs 3-5 minutes (5-8 slides), spotlight covers 5-8 minutes (8-12 slides), oral spans 15-20 minutes (15-22 slides), and invited talks take 30-45 minutes (25-40 slides). Aspect ratio defaults to modern 16:9, with an option for 4:3. Palette presets match academic venues including NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, ACL, EMNLP, CVPR, and ECCV.

A key constraint is the strict checkpoint flow: `AUTO_PROCEED` is false, so execution halts until manual confirmation. Slide review depends on the Codex MCP integration running `gpt-6-astra`. If you supply a `— style-ref` argument, raw Overleaf URLs will fail and must be cloned locally first.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-slides -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/paper-slides/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/paper-slides/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-slides -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/paper-slides/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-slides -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/paper-slides/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep paper-slides
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/paper-slides/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-slides -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --path skills/paper-slides
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/paper-slides/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-slides -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep/tree/HEAD/skills/paper-slides/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- generate Beamer LaTeX and PPTX presentation decks from a compiled paper
- prepare speaker notes and full oral scripts aligned with each slide
- adjust slide count and story pacing for oral, spotlight, or poster talks
- apply official color schemes for academic venues like NeurIPS and ICML

## Example prompts
- /paper-slides "paper/" — talk_type: oral, venue: ICML, minutes: 20, aspect: 4:3
- /paper-slides paper/
- make slides for paper/ spotlight presentation

Generate conference presentation slides from: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Context

This skill runs **after** Workflow 3 (`/paper-writing`). It takes a compiled paper and generates a presentation slide deck for conference oral talks, spotlight presentations, or poster lightning talks.

Unlike posters (single page, visual-first), slides tell a **temporal story**: each slide builds on the previous one, with progressive revelation of the research narrative. A good talk makes the audience understand *why this matters* before showing *what was done*.

## Constants

- **VENUE = `NeurIPS`** — Target venue, determines color scheme. Supported: `NeurIPS`, `ICML`, `ICLR`, `AAAI`, `ACL`, `EMNLP`, `CVPR`, `ECCV`, `GENERIC`. Override via argument.
- **TALK_TYPE = `spotlight`** — Talk format. Options: `oral` (15-20 min), `spotlight` (5-8 min), `poster-talk` (3-5 min), `invited` (30-45 min). Determines slide count and content depth.
