PPT Generation Skill#

Purpose#

This skill supports the creation of clear, structured, and visually coherent PowerPoint presentations for academic, research, classroom, business, and project-based purposes.

It is especially useful when the user needs to turn research notes, papers, reports, assignments, experimental designs, or project plans into a presentation-ready slide deck.

When to Use#

Use this skill when the user needs help with:

• Creating a PowerPoint presentation from scratch.
• Turning a paper, report, or thesis section into slides.
• Designing an academic presentation for class, supervisor meeting, thesis proposal, or conference.
• Summarizing a research article into a slide deck.
• Creating presentation outlines and speaker notes.
• Improving slide logic, structure, and visual hierarchy.
• Making slides easier for non-expert audiences to understand.
• Designing Q&A slides, conclusion slides, or transition slides.
• Converting dense text into concise slide bullets.

Inputs#

The user may provide:

• A topic or title.
• A paper, report, outline, or assignment content.
• Required number of slides.
• Presentation duration.
• Target audience.
• Language preference.
• Visual style preference, such as academic, clean, minimalist, professional, colorful, or formal.
• Whether speaker notes are required.
• Whether the final output should be a slide outline or an actual .pptx file.

Core Workflow#

1. Clarify the Presentation Goal#

Identify:

• What the presentation is trying to achieve.
• Who the audience is.
• How much background knowledge the audience has.
• Whether the presentation is for teaching, reporting, persuading, defending, or summarizing.

2. Build the Slide Structure#

A typical structure includes:

• Title slide.
• Background or problem statement.
• Key concepts or theoretical framework.
• Research questions or objectives.
• Method or design.
• Findings, analysis, or expected outcomes.
• Discussion or implications.
• Limitations.
• Conclusion.
• Q&A.

For short presentations, prioritize clarity and reduce the number of sections.

3. Convert Content into Slide Language#

Slide content should be:

• Concise.
• Hierarchical.
• Easy to scan.
• Focused on one central idea per slide.
• Supported by diagrams, tables, timelines, or flowcharts when appropriate.

Avoid copying long paragraphs directly onto slides.

4. Design Visual Logic#

Use visual elements such as:

• Flowcharts for procedures.
• Tables for comparison.
• Timelines for research plans.
• Icons for categories.
• Highlight boxes for key points.
• Diagrams for theoretical relationships.
• Charts for data or results.

5. Add Speaker Notes#

Speaker notes should:

• Explain the slide in natural oral language.
• Help the presenter speak smoothly.
• Avoid reading the slide word-for-word.
• Include transitions between slides when useful.

Output Requirements#

Depending on the user request, the assistant should provide one or more of the following:

• A full slide-by-slide outline.
• Slide titles and bullet points.
• Speaker notes.
• Visual design suggestions.
• A complete .pptx file.
• A revised version of an existing presentation.
• A shorter or more formal version of slide content.

Style Guidelines#

• Use clear slide titles that communicate the main point.
• Avoid overcrowding slides.
• Keep bullet points short.
• Use consistent terminology across slides.
• Make academic content understandable without oversimplifying.
• Adapt language to the audience's level.
• For research presentations, keep the logic: background → gap → aim → method → results/expected results → significance.
• For non-expert audiences, explain technical terms briefly.
