Generates conference presentation slides (Beamer LaTeX PDF and editable PPTX) from a compiled paper with speaker notes and talk script. Use when preparing oral talks, spotlight presentations, or invited talks for ML and systems conferences.

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

# Presenting Conference Talks: From Paper to Slides

Generate conference presentation slides from a compiled research paper. Produces both **Beamer LaTeX PDF** (for polished typesetting) and **editable PPTX** (for last-minute adjustments), with speaker notes and an optional talk script.

## When to Use This Skill

| Scenario | Use This Skill | Use Other Skills Instead |
|----------|---------------|--------------------------|
| Preparing oral/spotlight/poster-talk slides | ✅ | |
| Generating Beamer PDF + PPTX from paper | ✅ | |
| Speaker notes and talk script | ✅ | |
| Writing the paper itself | | ml-paper-writing |
| Structuring a systems paper | | systems-paper-writing |
| Creating publication-quality plots | | academic-plotting |

**Attribution**: This skill's structure draws inspiration from the ARIS paper-slides skill (570 lines, supporting poster/spotlight/oral/invited with Beamer+PPTX). This is an independent implementation for the AI-Research-SKILLs ecosystem.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add orchestra-research/ai-research-skills/presenting-conference-talks@sha256:5fb6b8f9e5b7690d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
