paper2slides

Turn an academic paper PDF into a presentation deck (.pptx) end-to-end. Use this skill whenever the user wants to "make slides from a paper", "generate a deck from this PDF", "make a PPT from this paper", "generate slides from a PDF document", "make a deck from a research paper", or supplies a research paper PDF and asks for a .pptx out. Trigger even when the user only says "deck this paper" or "summarize as slides". This is the dedicated, self-contained skill for academic-paper-to-deck flows.

# paper2slides

Turn an academic paper PDF into a presentation-ready .pptx. This is a conductor skill: **you** make the
editorial and design judgments, while the mechanical steps are handled by this skill's own self-contained
scripts — PDF parsing via the MinerU cloud API (`scripts/parse_pdf.py`) and .pptx rendering via a PptxGenJS
bridge (`scripts/render_pptx.py`). It orchestrates a "paper → outline → spec → render → QA" pipeline and
depends on no other skill.

## Quick Reference

| Stage | Input | Output | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5. configure | user dialogue | `<workdir>/config.json` | **you** (AskUserQuestion to confirm three items: length tier + whether to run visual QA + color scheme) |
| 1. extract    | `paper.pdf` | `paper_meta.json` + `figures_index.json` + `figures/` + `pages/` + `equations` + hi-res figure/table crops (produced in one shot by the MinerU cloud API) | `scripts/parse_pdf.py` |
