使用此技能创建或完善学术幻灯片以及围绕它构建的演讲：构建会议演讲、论文答辩、实验室会议或纸到幻灯片的幻灯片；决定叙述弧线和幻灯片分解；改进幻灯片设计和视觉层次结构；规划排练、时间安排、问答和备用幻灯片；或生成 .pptx。当用户正在塑造演示文稿本身时就可以使用它。请勿用于撰写论文、制作独立的演讲者笔记/脚本/成绩单、制作海报、在幻灯片之外创建独立的图形/图表或构建非学术演示文稿。

description: "Use this skill for creating or refining an academic slide deck and the talk built around it: structuring a conference talk, thesis defense, lab meeting, or paper-to-slides deck; deciding the narrative arc and slide breakdown; improving slide design and visual hierarchy; planning rehearsal, timing, Q&A, and backup slides; or generating the .pptx. Reach for it when the user is shaping the presentation itself. Do not use for writing the paper, producing standalone speaker notes/scripts/transcripts, making posters, creating isolated figures/charts outside a slide deck, or building non-academic presentations."

# Academic Slides

A structured approach to creating academic presentation slides and preparing research talks. Covers narrative structure, slide design, visual hierarchy, delivery technique, and Q&A preparation.

## When to Use This Skill

- User wants to create presentation slides for a research talk
- User asks about structuring an academic presentation
- User needs to prepare for a conference talk, thesis defense, or lab meeting
- User wants to design a slide deck from a paper or research project
- User mentions "slides", "presentation", "talk", "defense", "poster talk"

## Before You Start: Three Questions

Before designing any slides, answer these questions clearly:

1. **What works are you presenting?**
   They must share a coherent research direction. If presenting multiple works, they should form a narrative arc — not a disconnected list.

2. **What problems do these works solve in that direction?**
   Each work should map to a specific problem. If you cannot articulate the problem in one sentence, you are not ready to present.

3. **How do you use related work to naturally introduce these problems?**
   Related work is not citation duty. It builds the motivation for YOUR problem. Each related work you mention should advance the audience toward understanding why your approach is needed.

## Core Workflow

```
Step 1: Define scope and audience
Step 2: Draft narrative arc (outline)
Step 3: Design slide structure (section breakdown)
Step 4: Create individual slides (one idea per slide)
Step 5: Add visual elements (figures, diagrams, animations)
Step 6: Rehearse and time
Step 7: Prepare backup / Q&A slides
```

### Step 1: Define Scope and Audience

| Audience | Adjust |
|----------|--------|
| Domain experts | Skip basics, go deep on method and results |
| Broad CS / engineering | Explain task context, moderate technical depth |
| Interdisciplinary | Start from the application, minimize jargon |
| Industry | Lead with impact and demo, light on theory |

**Rule of thumb**: Duration in minutes = approximate slide count. A 20-minute talk needs about 20 slides.

### Step 2: Draft Narrative Arc

Use the outline template at [assets/talk-outline-template.md](assets/talk-outline-template.md) to plan your talk before making any slides. The outline forces you to articulate your key takeaway and narrative arc.

### Step 3: Design Slide Structure

Break your outline into sections with claim-style headers. See [talk-structure.md](references/talk-structure.md) for two complete talk structures and section-by-section guidance.

### Step 4: Create Individual Slides

One idea per slide. Follow the 10 design rules in [slide-design.md](references/slide-design.md) for visual hierarchy and layout.

### Step 5: Build the .pptx File

Use [slide-creation.md](references/slide-creation.md) for practical `.pptx` creation — color palettes, layout code, charts, tables, figures, and QA workflow.

### Step 6: Rehearse and Time

See [references/delivery-and-qa.md](references/delivery-and-qa.md) for the rehearsal protocol, delivery principles, and Q&A preparation.

### Step 7: Prepare Backup Slides

Backup slides go after your "Thank You" slide. They are not part of the talk — they are your safety net for Q&A:

- Full quantitative comparison table
- Failure cases (shows honesty and preparation)
- Additional ablations or analysis
- Slides addressing anticipated tough questions

## Artifact Sources from Other Skills

If you used other EvoSkills earlier in the pipeline, pull these artifacts directly:

| Source Skill | Artifact | Use In Slides |
|-------------|----------|---------------|
| `paper-planning` | Story summary (task → challenge → insight) | Motivation slides |
| `paper-planning` | Pipeline figure sketch | Method overview slide |
| `paper-planning` | Experiment plan | Results structure |
| `paper-writing` | Finalized figures and tables | Method + results slides |
| `paper-review` | Anticipated reviewer concerns | Backup Q&A slides |

See [slide-creation.md](references/slide-creation.md) for detailed layout patterns using each artifact.

## Counterintuitive Presentation Rules

> For the 10 design rules (one idea per slide, claim-style titles, max 6 elements, etc.), see [slide-design.md](references/slide-design.md). The rules below are higher-level mindset shifts.

### 1. Your slides are not your paper

A talk is an advertisement, not a lecture. Your goal is to make the audience interested enough to read the paper. Cut 80% of your paper's content. If someone can reconstruct your paper from your slides alone, your slides have too much.

### 2. Reading and listening compete

Text-heavy slides force the audience to choose between reading your slides and listening to you. They will read — and stop hearing you. When you put text on a slide, you are choosing to be ignored.

### 3. Enthusiasm > polish

A passionate speaker with rough slides beats a bored speaker with beautiful slides. The audience remembers your energy and clarity, not your color scheme. If you only have time to improve one thing, rehearse more — don't redesign slides.

### 4. Related work is not citation duty

Use related work to BUILD your problem motivation, not to show you have read papers. Each related work slide should advance the narrative: "This approach solved X, but Y remains open — which is exactly what we address."
