What it does

Builds complete slide decks for academic and scientific talks.

  • Deck planning: proposes structure, slide count, and timing for the talk type (15-min conference, 45-min seminar, dissertation defense).
  • AI slide generation: uses generate_slide_image.py to render each slide as an image, attaching the previous slide with --attach so colors, fonts, and layout stay consistent.
  • PDF or PPTX output: merges images via slides_to_pdf.py, or uses --visual-only to produce figures that the PPTX skill turns into editable PowerPoint slides.
  • Bundled resources: three Beamer templates (conference/seminar/defense), timing guidelines, design principles, and a common-pitfalls checklist.

Who it's for

  • Grad students and researchers preparing conference talks
  • Anyone building thesis or dissertation defense slides
  • Lab seminars, journal clubs, and grant pitch presentations
  • Presenters who want visual, story-driven decks instead of bullet walls

Example uses

  1. "Build a 16-slide deck for a 15-minute AI conference talk — dark blue background, gold accents, citations in small text at the bottom."
  2. "Make a results slide around the accuracy chart in figures/, highlighting the three key numbers."
  3. "Turn this paper draft into a 45-minute seminar: 5 intro slides, 4 methods, 8 results."

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/scientific-slides folder from the GitHub repo K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/scientific-slides/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git /tmp/sas && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/sas/skills/scientific-slides ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git
  3. Copy the skill into place: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/scientific-slides ~/.claude/skills/
  4. (Optional) For AI slide image generation, set your key: export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_key_here
  5. Confirm Python 3 is available, since the bundled scripts need it: python3 --version
