Turn an article, academic paper, report, or lecture script into a polished, editable research-style course PowerPoint.
The skill handles source reading, optional web research, teaching narrative, visual planning, editable PowerPoint authoring, citations in speaker notes, and slide-by-slide QA. Users can provide only prose; they do not need to write a page outline or image prompts.
- Native PowerPoint text and typography
- Native shapes, simple diagrams, and connectors
- Native charts and tables when used
- Independently selectable, crop-able, and replaceable images
The skill never flattens a finished slide into a screenshot. Raster image pixels remain raster; "editable image" means the image is a separate replaceable object.

<paste the article, paper, or lecture script>
Local files are also supported:
Use $research-course-ppt to turn /absolute/path/to/paper.pdf into a 20-slide Chinese course deck.
The included example uses Vaswani et al.'s 2017 paper Attention Is All You Need to demonstrate a complete low-page-count arc:
- cover and research question;
- the sequential-computation bottleneck;
- scaled dot-product and multi-head attention;
- evidence and teaching synthesis.
The editable deck is available at examples/attention-is-all-you-need/attention-is-all-you-need-preview.pptx.
The second example translates the theme “多巴胺驱动母体大脑的持续重塑” into a tactile paper editorial system with oversized editable typography, quiet blue-white material depth, and restrained coral accents. It distinguishes long-lasting human structural evidence from dopamine circuit evidence that is still primarily animal-based.
The editable deck is available at examples/dopamine-maternal-brain/dopamine-maternal-brain-preview.pptx.
