Nature Paper2ppt

Turns scientific papers into polished Chinese PowerPoint decks optimized for journal clubs and lab meetings. Instead of dumping figures sequentially, it extracts the argument, picks evidence that supports the story, and builds slides around questions like "why does this matter" and "why should we trust this." It handles everything from Nature papers to preprints across fields, not just medical research. The implementation is lean by design: PyMuPDF for extraction, python-pptx for deck creation, minimal OCR, no desktop automation. Default output is 12-16 slides with Chinese content and English technical terms preserved. If you've ever built presentation decks from papers manually, this automates the tedious parts while keeping the scientific logic intact.

Paper-to-PPTX — Router

Routing protocol

For an edit to an existing deck, reuse its paper source, narrative, terminology, and assets. Change the requested slides and any affected cross-slide references; do not rerun paper intake or rebuild the deck's story unless the request requires it. Inspect changed slides and run the existing final PPTX audit before delivery. A requested outline or explanation alone does not require creating a deck.

For a new task, load the core and matching resources below. Reuse already loaded guidance on follow-ups; load more only when the task needs it.

1. Load the manifest and the core layer

Read manifest.yaml. It declares the paper_type axis, the allowed values, and the file paths each value maps to.

Also read every file listed under always_load. These hold the purpose and core principle, the lean operating mode and toolchain policy, the 9-step workflow spine, and the output/quality rules that apply to every deck, plus the shared Terminology Ledger used to keep technical terms consistent across slides.
