Leading#2 in Skillsmedium confidence
A community SKILL.md (~716 stars) that layers academic-deck discipline (action titles, situation-complication-resolution, citation standards) on top of Anthropic's pptx skill. Well-scoped complement rather than a standalone generator.Our read
Why it ranks #2
A focused community skill at about 717 GitHub stars with active 2026 updates; its niche academic scope is clear, but independent review evidence remains limited.Here is the catch
not a standalone renderer or PPTX engine
small community and limited external validation
opinionated communication rules may need adapting by discipline
Does this well
addresses academic storytelling rather than only file generation
clear citation and argument-structure rules
complements the official Anthropic PPTX workflow
