Convert a completed paper into presentation slides (Beamer LaTeX) or poster. Extract key figures, tables, equations, and create a narrative flow for oral presentation. Identified gap in existing tools — designed from best practices.

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 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 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) Related Skills Upstream: [paper compilation](../paper compilation/), [figure generation](../figure generation/) See also: [self review](../self review/), [paper assembly](../paper assembly/)
