Academic PPT Structure Assistant

Problem

Academic presentation decks often fail because structure is unstable: cover, agenda, background, method, results, and conclusion get mixed, pages become dense, typography and chart conventions drift, and the final file is readable but hard to present. This skill turns thesis defenses and conference talks into fixed page templates, helping authors establish narrative order before layout.

How It Works

• Structure reference: includes full defense flow such as Cover, Table of Contents, Background, Literature Review, Method, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Future Work, Acknowledgments, and References, plus a five-page quick report variant.
• Page norms: defines required elements per slide, such as cover title size, agenda section count, problem motivation in background, technical roadmap in method, and data-visualization priority in results.
• Layout constraints: provides font hierarchy, margins, paragraph spacing, chart captions, table borders, and data alignment rules to reduce ad hoc formatting disputes.
• Palette reference: uses Tsinghua purple as the primary hue with auxiliary, neutral, and chart sequence colors for visually consistent academic materials.

Boundaries

It is closer to a structure and layout guide than an automatic layout engine. The provided material does not state that it generates .pptx, parses full papers, or batch-edit slides. Users should still replace charts with their own data and confirm whether school, department, or conference templates override the suggested style.
