Individual skill
academic-pptx
Use this skill whenever the user wants to create or improve a presentation for an academic context — conference papers, seminar talks, thesis defenses, grant briefings, lab meetings, invited lectures, or any presentation where the audience will evaluate reasoning and evidence. Triggers include: 'conference talk', 'seminar slides', 'thesis defense', 'research presentation', 'academic deck', 'academic presentation'. Also triggers when the user asks to 'make slides' in combination with academic content (e.g., 'make slides for my paper on X', 'create a presentation for my dissertation defense', 'build a deck for my grant proposal'). This skill governs CONTENT and STRUCTURE decisions. For the technical work of creating or editing the .pptx file itself, also read the pptx SKILL.md.

# Academic Presentations Skill
## How This Skill Works
This skill has two layers:
1. **This file** — governs content, argument structure, and design standards for academic presentations. Read it fully before planning any slides.
2. **PPTX skill** — governs the technical implementation (creating, editing, and QA-ing the .pptx file). Read it too.
**Always read both before writing any code or creating any files.**
