This skill transforms scientific papers, preprints, PDFs, abstracts, or research notes into complete Chinese PPTX presentations with Nature-style reporting logic. It solves the common challenge researchers face when preparing journal clubs, group meetings, thesis seminars, or academic presentations: manually extracting figures, writing slide content, and assembling a coherent narrative from dense research papers. Instead of stopping at outlines or scripts, this skill delivers an actual .pptx file ready for presentation.

The skill intelligently identifies the paper's core argument and selects only the figures needed to tell the story effectively. It writes Chinese slide content and speaker notes following a scientific presentation structure that guides the audience through: why the problem matters, what gap exists, what the authors did, what the key evidence shows, why the results are trustworthy, what's novel or reusable, and what questions remain open. The system integrates figure extraction, slide composition, and content generation into a single automated workflow.

Designed for researchers across all scientific fields—from life sciences and medicine to physics, computational biology, and interdisciplinary research—this skill handles various paper types including original research, reviews, perspectives, methods papers, and datasets. It uses a Python-based toolchain (PyMuPDF, Pillow, python-pptx) that works cross-platform on macOS, Linux, and Windows. The skill includes built-in quality control with self-review loops that check figure quality, prevent text overflow, ensure non-template visual design, and validate the PPTX package structure before delivery.
