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.

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Will this work with your setup?
Install location suggests this is meant for claude-code. The author tagged this repository "claude-skills" on GitHub. That is their statement of intent, not a test result.
We have not run this skill against a task with and without it enabled, so we cannot tell you whether it improves anything, what it costs in tokens, or whether it duplicates behaviour your harness already has. When we have run that test, the result will appear on this page with the task, the versions and the budget it used.
The skill definition lives at SKILL.md in https://github.com/Gabberflast/academic-pptx-skill.

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as pptx, presentations, slides, academic. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.
This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.

We take apart real AI setups every week and show what broke, what cost too much, and what the trace actually said. If you run agents on real work, that is where the useful conversation is.
