pdf-ppt

Create literature-report PPTX decks from PDF papers. Use when you must extract a paper’s metadata, summarize the study, interpret Results/Figures/Tables, and generate slides with 1:1 figure-to-text alignment and layout rules (triggered by requests like “PDF to PPT”, “literature report slides”, or “turn this paper into a presentation”).

Quality

Content

61%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is well-structured and actionable with a concrete deck-plan schema and exact layout coordinates, delegating detail appropriately to two reference files. Its weaknesses are cross-section repetition and the absence of an explicit validation checkpoint for the generated deck.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validation step to the workflow (e.g., verify slide count equals figure count and that each figure has a 1:1 slide mapping) before declaring the deck complete, since PPTX generation is a batch operation.

De-duplicate the offline-parsing and figure-interpretation material between "Key Features" and "Implementation Details §1/§2" by summarizing once and pointing to the reference files.

Replace the hard-coded Windows path D:\SKILL\project\PPTX\SKILL.md with a portable reference or a configurable variable so the skill is not tied to a single machine.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient but the offline-parsing and figure-rule material is restated across "Key Features" and "Implementation Details" (§1, §2), and §2 repeats rules already in figure-interpretation.md, so it could be tightened.

3 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance — a full deck-plan JSON schema, exact coordinate tuples, hex colors, and font sizes — with only minor gaps since parsing is delegated to reference files and no runnable code is inlined.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The parse → write → generate sequence is clearly ordered, but as a batch generative operation it lacks an explicit validation checkpoint in the body for the generated PPTX (e.g., slide-count == figure-count, 1:1 mapping check), capping it at 3 per the batch-operation rule.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Good section structure with one-level-deep references to real files (offline-parsing.md, figure-interpretation.md); minor gaps from cross-section repetition and a non-portable hard-coded Windows path dependency (D:\SKILL\project\PPTX\SKILL.md).

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is strong, explicitly covering both capability and trigger conditions with concrete natural-language phrases. Its only gap is the absence of file-extension synonyms, which keeps trigger-term quality just below full marks.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete pipeline actions — "extract a paper's metadata, summarize the study, interpret Results/Figures/Tables, and generate slides with 1:1 figure-to-text alignment and layout rules" — giving comprehensive coverage from input to output.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ("Create literature-report PPTX decks from PDF papers") and when ("Use when you must... triggered by requests like...") with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrases users would say ("PDF to PPT", "literature report slides", "turn this paper into a presentation"), but omits file extensions (.pdf/.pptx) and common synonyms like "PDFs".

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (literature-report PPTX from PDF papers) with distinct triggers, giving minimal overlap risk with generic PDF or PPT skills.
