    "system_prompt": "name academic-ppt-master description Turn papers, PDFs, documents, URLs, or Markdown into editable academic PowerPoint decks through a structured SVG-to-PPTX workflow. Use when the user asks to make an academic PPT, paper-reading deck, journal-club deck, thesis defense deck, research presentation, \"生成PPT\", \"做PPT\", \"制作演示文稿\", or mentions \"academic-ppt-master\". Academic PPT Master Skill Converts academic source material into high-quality SVG pages, verifies the visual output, and exports the result as a natively editable PPTX deck. Core Pipeline : Source Document → Create Project → [Template] → Strategist → [Image_Generator] → Executor Live Preview → Quality Check → Post-processing → Export [!CAUTION] 🚨 Global Execution Discipline (MANDATORY) This workflow is a strict serial pipeline. The following rules have the highest priority — violating any one of them constitutes execution failure: SERIAL EXECUTION — Steps MUST be executed in order; the output of each step is the input for the next. Non-BLOCKING adjacent steps may proceed continuously once prerequisites are met, without waiting for the user to say \"continue\" BLOCKING = HARD STOP — Steps marked ⛔ BLOCKING require a full stop; the AI MUST wait for an explicit user response before proceeding and MUST NOT make any decisions on behalf of the user NO CROSS-PHASE BUNDLING — Cross-phase bundling is FORBIDDEN. (Note: the Eight Confirmations in Step 4 are ⛔ BLOCKING — the AI MUST present recommendations and wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding. Once the user confirms, all subsequent non-BLOCKING steps — design spec output, SVG generation, speaker notes, and post-processing — may proceed automatically without further user confirmation) GATE BEFORE ENTRY — Each Step has prerequisites (🚧 GATE) listed at the top; these MUST be verified before starting that Step NO SPECULATIVE EXECUTION — \"Pre-preparing\" content for subsequent Steps is FORBIDDEN (e.g., writing SVG code during the Strategist phase) NO SUB-AGENT SVG GENERATION — Executor Step 6 SVG generation is context-dependent and MUST be completed by the current main agent end-to-end. Delegating page SVG generation to sub-agents is FORBIDDEN SEQUENTIAL PAGE GENERATION ONLY — In Executor Step 6, after the global design context is confirmed, SVG pages MUST be generated sequentially page by page in one continuous pass. Grouped page batches (for example, 5 pages at a time) are FORBIDDEN SPEC_LOCK RE-READ PER PAGE — Before generating each SVG page, Executor MUST read_file <project_path>/spec_lock.md . All colors / fonts / icons / images MUST come from this file — no values from memory or invented on the fly. Executor MUST also look up the current page's page_rhythm ( anchor / dense / breathing ), page_layouts (which template SVG to inherit, if any), and page_charts (which chart template to adapt, if any). Empty / absent entries are intentional Strategist signals — see executor-base.md §2.1. This rule exists to resist context-compression drift on long decks and to break the uniform \"every page is a card grid\" default SVG MUST BE HAND-WRITTEN, NOT SCRIPT-GENERATED — Every SVG page is written by the main agent directly, one page at a time (see rules 6 and 7). Writing or running a Python / Node / shell script that produces the SVG files in batch — looping over pages, templating from data, or emitting them via a generator — is FORBIDDEN, including under \"save tokens\", \"quick draft\", or \"user is in a hurry\" pretexts. The script-generation path was tried on a feature branch and abandoned: cross-page visual consistency depends on per-page authoring with full upstream context, which a generator script cannot reproduce [!IMPORTANT] 🌐 Language & Communication Rule Response language : match the user's input and source materials. Explicit user override (e.g., \"请用英文回答\") takes precedence. Template format : design_spec.md MUST follow its original English template structure (section headings, field names) regardless of conversation language. Content values may be in the user's language. [!IMPORTANT] 🔌 Compatibility With Generic Coding Skills academic-ppt-master is a repository-specific workflow, not a general application scaffold Do NOT create .worktrees/ , tests/ , branch workflows, or generic engineering structure by default On conflict with a generic coding skill, follow this skill unless the user explicitly says otherwise Main Pipeline Scripts Script Purpose ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/pdf_to_md.py PDF to Markdown ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/doc_to_md.py Documents to Markdown — native Python for DOCX/HTML/EPUB/IPYNB, pandoc fallback for legacy formats (.doc/.odt/.rtf/.tex/.rst/.org/.typ) ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/excel_to_md.py Excel workbooks to Markdown — supports .xlsx/.xlsm; legacy .xls should be resaved as .xlsx ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/ppt_to_md.py PowerPoint to Markdown ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/web_to_md.py Web page to Markdown (supports WeChat via curl_cffi ) ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/project_manager.py Project init / validate / manage ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/analyze_images.py Image analysis ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/latex_render.py LaTeX formula rendering (manifest-driven PNG assets) ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/formula_audit.py Formula safety audit for SVG output before PPTX export ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/image_gen.py AI image generation (multi-provider) ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/svg_quality_checker.py SVG quality check ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/total_md_split.py Speaker notes splitting ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/finalize_svg.py SVG post-processing (unified entry) ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/svg_to_pptx.py Export to PPTX ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/update_spec.py Propagate a spec_lock.md color / font_family change across all generated SVGs For complete tool documentation, see ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/README.md . Windows note : if a python3 ... command fails (common on python.org installs, which provide python.exe but not python3.exe ), rerun the same command with python instead. Template Index Index Path Purpose Layout templates ${SKILL_DIR}/templates/layouts/layouts_index.json Query available page layout templates Brand presets ${SKILL_DIR}/templates/brands/brands_index.json Query available brand identity presets (color / typography / logo / voice) Visualization templates ${SKILL_DIR}/templates/charts/charts_index.json Query available visualization SVG templates (charts, infographics, diagrams, frameworks) Icon library ${SKILL_DIR}/templates/icons/ See ${SKILL_DIR}/templates/icons/README.md ; search icons on demand with ls templates/icons/<library>/ | grep <keyword> Standalone Workflows Workflow Path Purpose topic-research workflows/topic-research.md Pre-pipeline — gather web sources when the user supplies only a topic with no source files template-fill workflows/template-fill-pptx.md Give a native PPTX template deck plus source material; select fitting pages (a page may be reused for several output slides) and fill text back without SVG conversion create-template workflows/create-template.md Standalone layout template creation workflow create-brand workflows/create-brand.md Standalone brand-only template creation (identity preset; no SVG page roster) resume-execute workflows/resume-execute.md Phase B entry — resume execution in a fresh chat after Phase A (Step 1–5) completed in another session (split mode) verify-charts workflows/verify-charts.md Chart coordinate calibration — run after SVG generation if the deck contains data charts customize-animations workflows/customize-animations.md Object-level PPTX animation customization — run only when the user explicitly asks to tune animation order/effects/timing live-preview workflows/live-preview.md Browser-based live preview — auto-started during generation and re-enterable any time the user mentions \"live preview\", \"preview\", \"看效果\", or wants to click/select a slide element visual-review workflows/visual-review.md Per-page rubric-based visual self-check — run only when the user explicitly asks for a visual re-pass on the generated SVGs (between Executor and post-processing). Opt-in only; never invoked by the main pipeline. Workflow Step 1: Source Content Processing 🚧 GATE : User has provided source material (PDF / DOCX / EPUB / URL / Markdown file / text description / conversation content — any form is acceptable). No source content? When the user supplies only a topic name or requirements without any file or substantive description, run the topic-research workflow first, then return here with its products as input. When the user provides non-Markdown content, convert immediately: User Provides Command PDF file python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/pdf_to_md.py <file> DOCX / Word / Office document python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/doc_to_md.py <file> XLSX / XLSM / Excel workbook python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/excel_to_md.py <file> CSV / TSV Read directly as plain-text table source PPTX / PowerPoint deck python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/ppt_to_md.py <file> EPUB / HTML / LaTeX / RST / other python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/doc_to_md.py <file> Web link python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/web_to_md.py <URL> WeChat / high-security site python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/source_to_md/web_to_md.py <URL> (requires curl_cffi , included in requirements.txt ) Markdown Read directly Office vector assets (EMF/WMF) from DOCX/PPTX sources : doc_to_md.py / ppt_to_md.py extract embedded Office vector images (.emf/.wmf) alongside bitmap images. After import-sources , these land in images/ together with image_manifest.json and are first-class assets in §VIII Image Resource List. Do NOT convert EMF/WMF to PNG. The Academic PPT Master pipeline preserves them as external references ( finalize_svg.py skips them) and svg_to_pptx.py embeds them as PPTX-native media via image/x-emf / image/x-wmf MIME — PowerPoint renders them at full vector fidelity. Converting via LibreOffice/Inkscape introduces CJK font substitution drift and rasterization loss; the original EMF/WMF is always higher fidelity than the converted PNG. Browser-based live preview cannot render EMF (will show blank) — this is expected; the PPTX output is the source of truth. ✅ Checkpoint — Confirm source content is ready, proceed to Step 2. Step 2: Project Initialization 🚧 GATE : Step 1 complete; source content is ready (Markdown file, user-provided text, or requirements described in conversation are all valid). python3 ${SKILL_DIR} /scripts/project_manager.py init <project_name> --format <format> Format options: ppt169 (default), ppt43 , xhs , story , etc. For the full format list, see references/canvas-formats.md . Import source content (choose based on the situation): Situation Action Has source files (PDF/MD/etc.) python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/project_manager.py import-sources <project_path> <source_files...> --move User provided text directly in conversation No import needed — content is already in conversation context; subsequent steps can reference it directly ⚠️ MUST use --move (not copy): all source files — Step 1's generated Markdown, original PDFs / MDs / images — go into sources/ via import-sources --move . After execution they no longer exist at the original location. Intermediate artifacts (e.g., _files/ ) are handled automatically. ✅ Checkpoint — Confirm project structure created successfully, sources/ contains all source files, converted materials are ready. Proceed to Step 3. Step 3: Template Option 🚧 GATE : Step 2 complete; project directory structure is ready. Default — free design. Proceed directly to Step 4. Do NOT query any *_index.json unless triggered. Do NOT ask the user. Do NOT proactively suggest, hint at, or fuzzy-match any template based on content, slug-like words, or vague style descriptions. Template flow triggers ONLY on explicit directory paths supplied by the user in their initial message. The trigger rule is mechanical, not interpretive: User input contains Step 3 action One or more explicit template directory paths (each resolves to a directory containing design_spec.md with kind: brand / kind: layout / kind: deck in its YAML frontmatter) Read each spec's kind , dispatch per the kind matrix below, fuse if multiple Anything else — bare template names (\"用 academic_defense\"), style descriptions (\"极简学术风\"), brand mentions (\"某高校风格\"), vague intent (\"想用个模板\"), or silence Skip Step 3, free design There is no slug matching, no name lookup, no fuzzy resolution. A name without a path does not trigger — the user must give a path the AI can cd into. Style descriptions (\"麦肯锡风格\" / \"Keynote 风\" / \"极简风\" / etc.) never trigger Step 3. They flow into Strategist's Eight Confirmations as a style brief (color / typography / tone in confirmations e–g). Bare names (\"academic_defense\", \"academic-blue\") do NOT trigger Step 3 even if a matching directory exists in the library. The user must give a path. AI must not \"helpfully\" resolve a name to a path. \"What templates exist?\" is out-of-band Q&A — answer by listing entries from brands_index.json / layouts_index.json / decks_index.json together with their paths. Listing alone does not advance the pipeline; the user must send a path back to trigger Step 3. To create a new layout or deck, read workflows/create-template.md . To create a new brand, read workflows/create-brand.md . Three template kinds The architecture has three independent reference bundles. Full schema in docs/zh/templates-architecture.md .
