# 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. --- ## Talk Types and Slide Counts | Talk Type | Duration | Slides | Content Depth | |-----------|----------|--------|---------------| | poster-talk | 3–5 min | 5–8 | Problem + key result only | | spotlight | 5–8 min | 8–1

What does the presenting-conference-talks skill do?
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.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill presenting-conference-talks --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs, a repository with 11,391 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
