Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Scientific Slides ## Overview Scientific presentations are a critical medium for communicating research, sharing findings, and engaging with academic and professional audiences. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating effective scientific presentations, from structure and content development to visual design and delivery preparation. **Key Focus**: Oral presentations for conferences, seminars, defences, and professional talks. **CRITICAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY**: Scientific presentations should be VISUALLY ENGAGING and RESEARCH-BACKED. Avoid dry, text-heavy slides at all costs. Great scientific presentations combine: - **Compelling visuals**: High-quality figures, images, diagrams (not just bullet points) - **Research context**: Proper citations from research-lookup establishing credibility - **Minimal text**: Bullet points as prompts, YOU provide the explanation verbally - **Professional design**: Modern colour schemes, strong visual hierarchy, generous white space - **Story-driven**: Clear narrative arc, not just data dumps …

How to install
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/scientific-slides@sha256:f1410270ba77335fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.0115f49, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
