# Academic Presentations Skill

## How This Skill Works

This skill has two layers:

1. **This file** — governs content, argument structure, and design standards for academic presentations. Read it fully before planning any slides.
2. **PPTX skill** — governs the technical implementation (creating, editing, and QA-ing the .pptx file). Read it too.

**Always read both before writing any code or creating any files.**

## Quick Reference

| Task | Guide |
|------|-------|
| Content planning, argument structure, slide-by-slide rules | [content_guidelines.md](content_guidelines.md) |
| Per-slide-type patterns (title, methods, results, etc.) | [slide_patterns.md](slide_patterns.md) |
| Technical creation from scratch | PPTX skill → `pptxgenjs.md` |
| Technical editing of an existing file | PPTX skill → `editing.md` |

---

## Step 1: Identify Presentation Type

Before planning a single slide, determine which mode applies.

### Structured Argument (default for academic work)

Use for: conference papers, seminar talks, thesis defenses, dissertation chapters, grant briefings, internal lab presentations, policy briefings, consulting-style research deliverables.

**Priority order: argument structure → data → layout → aesthetics.**

Follow [content_guidelines.md](content_guidelines.md) in full.

### Visual / Narrative

Use for: public engagement talks, science communication to non-specialist audiences, funding pitches to lay panels, event keynotes.
