# PPT Generation Skill

## Purpose

This skill supports the creation of clear, structured, and visually coherent PowerPoint presentations for academic, research, classroom, business, and project-based purposes.

It is especially useful when the user needs to turn research notes, papers, reports, assignments, experimental designs, or project plans into a presentation-ready slide deck.

## When to Use

Use this skill when the user needs help with:

- Creating a PowerPoint presentation from scratch.
- Turning a paper, report, or thesis section into slides.
- Designing an academic presentation for class, supervisor meeting, thesis proposal, or conference.
- Summarizing a research article into a slide deck.
- Creating presentation outlines and speaker notes.
- Improving slide logic, structure, and visual hierarchy.
- Making slides easier for non-expert audiences to understand.
- Designing Q&A slides, conclusion slides, or transition slides.
- Converting dense text into concise slide bullets.

## Inputs

The user may provide:

- A topic or title.
- A paper, report, outline, or assignment content.
- Required number of slides.
- Presentation duration.
- Target audience.
- Language preference.
- Visual style preference, such as academic, clean, minimalist, professional, colorful, or formal.
- Whether speaker notes are required.
- Whether the final output should be a slide outline or an actual `.pptx` file.

## Core Workflow

### 1. Clarify the Presentation Goal

Identify:

- What the presentation is trying to achieve.
- Who the audience is.
- How much background knowledge the audience has.
- Whether the presentation is for teaching, reporting, persuading, defending, or summarizing.

### 2. Build the Slide Structure

A typical structure includes:

- Title slide.
- Background or problem statement.
- Key concepts or theoretical framework.
- Research questions or objectives.
- Method or design.
- Findings, analysis, or expected outcomes.
- Discussion or implications.
- Limitations.
- Conclusion.
- Q&A.

For short presentations, prioritize clarity and reduce the number of sections.

### 3. Convert Content into Slide Language

Slide content should be:

- Concise.
- Hierarchical.
- Easy to scan.
- Focused on one central idea per slide.
- Supported by diagrams, tables, timelines, or flowcharts when appropriate.

Avoid copying long paragraphs directly onto slides.

### 4. Design Visual Logic

Use visual elements such as:

- Flowcharts for procedures.
- Tables for comparison.
- Timelines for research plans.
- Icons for categories.
- Highlight boxes for key points.
- Diagrams for theoretical relationships.
- Charts for data or results.

### 5. Add Speaker Notes

Speaker notes should:

- Explain the slide in natural oral language.
- Help the presenter speak smoothly.
- Avoid reading the slide word-for-word.
- Include transitions between slides when useful.

## Output Requirements

Depending on the user request, the assistant should provide one or more of the following:

- A full slide-by-slide outline.
- Slide titles and bullet points.
- Speaker notes.
- Visual design suggestions.
- A complete `.pptx` file.
- A revised version of an existing presentation.
- A shorter or more formal version of slide content.

## Style Guidelines

- Use clear slide titles that communicate the main point.
- Avoid overcrowding slides.
- Keep bullet points short.
- Use consistent terminology across slides.
- Make academic content understandable without oversimplifying.
- Adapt language to the audience's level.
- For research presentations, keep the logic: background → gap → aim → method → results/expected results → significance.
- For non-expert audiences, explain technical terms briefly.
