2 things to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

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

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 #ContentSource Section
1Title slideTitle/Authors
2Motivation / ProblemIntroduction
3Why existing solutions failRelated Work
4-5Our approach (high-level)Methods
6-8Technical details + equationsMethods
9Experimental setupExperiments
10-13Results (figures + tables)Results
14Ablation studyResults
15Limitations & Future workDiscussion
16ConclusionConclusion

Step 3: Generate Beamer 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)
