Install any skill in seconds. Free to start, no credit card required.
Get Started Free →Generate professional slide deck images from academic papers and content. Creates comprehensive outlines with style instructions, auto-detects figures from PDFs, then generates individual slide images. Use when user asks to "create slides", "make a presentation", "generate deck", or "slide deck" for papers.

For academic presentations, IMAGE_SOURCE metadata was auto-populated in Step 2 based on figure detection from Step 1.
Automatic Execution:

Source: generate (or no IMAGE_SOURCE):Note: Source PDF must be saved as source-paper.pdf in output directory.
Troubleshooting:
// IMAGE_SOURCE block to outlineFigure: and Page: values in outlinePyMuPDF Fallback for Page Extraction: If extract-figure.ts fails with "Image or Canvas expected" error (common with complex PDFs), use PyMuPDF:
pythonimport fitz doc = fitz.open("source-paper.pdf") page = doc[page_num - 1] # 0-indexed mat = fitz.Matrix(3, 3) # 3x scale for high resolution pix = page.get_pixmap(matrix=mat) pix.save(f"extracted/page-{page_num}.png")
Then apply template using apply-template.ts.
