What this skill does


# Slide Generation

Convert a completed paper into presentation slides or poster.

## Input

- `$0` — Paper LaTeX file (main.tex) or paper directory

## References

- Slide templates and layout patterns: `~/.claude/skills/slide-generation/references/slide-templates.md`

## Scripts

### Extract paper elements for slides
```bash
python ~/.claude/skills/slide-generation/scripts/extract_paper_elements.py --tex main.tex --output slides_skeleton.tex
python ~/.claude/skills/slide-generation/scripts/extract_paper_elements.py --tex main.tex --format json --output elements.json
python ~/.claude/skills/slide-generation/scripts/extract_paper_elements.py --tex main.tex --output slides.tex --theme metropolis
```

Parses .tex, extracts title/authors/sections/equations/figures/tables, generates Beamer skeleton.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Extract Key Content
From the paper, extract:
1. **Title, authors, affiliations**
2. **Core contribution** (1-3 bullet points from abstract)
3. **Key figures** (all \includegraphics paths)
4. **Key tables** (simplified versions)
5. **Key equations** (numbered equations from Methods)
6. **Main results** (best numbers from Results section)

### Step 2: Design Slide Structure
Standard oral presentation flow (~15-20 slides):

| Slide # | Content | Source Section |
|---------|---------|---------------|
| 1 | Title slide | Title/Authors |
| 2 | Motivation / Problem | Introduction |
| 3 | Why existing solutions fail | Related Work |
| 4-5 | Our approach (high-level) | Methods |
| 6-8 | Technical details + equations | Methods |
| 9 | Experimental setup | Experiments |
| 10-13 | Results (figures + tables) | Results |
| 14 | Ablation study | Results |
| 15 | Limitations & Future work | Discussion |
| 16 | Conclusion | Conclusion |
| 17 | Thank you + Q&A | — |

### Step 3: Generate Beamer LaTeX
```latex
\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}
\usetheme{metropolis}
\title{Paper Title}
\author{Authors}
\date{Venue Year}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\begin{frame}{Motivation}
\begin{itemize}
    \item Problem statement
    \item Why it matters
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

% ... more frames
\end{document}
```

### Step 4: Simplify for Presentation
- Tables: reduce to essential rows/columns
- Equations: show only the key insight, not full derivation
- Figures: use largest versions, add annotations
- Text: bullet points only, no paragraphs

### Step 5: Generate Poster Layout (Optional)
For poster sessions, use a multi-column layout:
- Column 1: Introduction + Motivation
- Column 2: Methods + Key Equations
- Column 3: Results + Figures
- Column 4: Conclusions + References

## Rules

- Maximum 1 key message per slide
- Figures should be large and readable
- No more than 6 bullet points per slide
- Equations should be simplified versions
- Include slide numbers
- Use consistent color scheme matching the paper's figures
- Presentation should be self-contained (understandable without reading the paper)
