Convert an academic paper's LaTeX source, figures, and bibliography into a complete 20-25 minute Beamer presentation using the local USC Moloch template. Use when the user wants a paper turned into a reusable technical deck with core, optional, and backup paths, especially from `.tex`, figure, and `.bib` files in this repo.

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

# Paper To Beamer

Read [references/rendering-checklist.md](./references/rendering-checklist.md) first. Read [references/deck-outline.md](./references/deck-outline.md) before writing slides.
Read [references/content-diagnosis.md](./references/content-diagnosis.md) before planning the deck.
Read [references/engagement-dynamics.md](./references/engagement-dynamics.md) before planning the deck narrative.
Read [references/time-flexible-design.md](./references/time-flexible-design.md) before planning the final deck structure.
Read [references/visual-payoff.md](./references/visual-payoff.md) before choosing figures, tables, slide density, and any visual augmentation.
Read [references/presenter-map.md](./references/presenter-map.md) before finalizing delivery controls.

Use `templates/paper-deck-base.tex` from the repo as the starting point for every generated deck.

## Workspace Contract

This skill is repo-specific. Treat these paths as relative to the workspace root, not the skill directory:

- `README.md`
- `theme/`
- `templates/`
- `papers/`
- `decks/`

Before generating anything, verify that the workspace contains at least:

- `README.md`
- `templates/demo.tex`
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yzhao062/agent-config/paper-to-beamer@sha256:794739537e8bc012

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260402.7b2dc4a, 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.
