This skill enforces the standards that make academic presentations readable and convincing: action titles, one claim per slide, interpretive annotations, and in-slide citations. It guides PhD students, conference presenters, and grant applicants through structure-first slide planning, the ghost deck test, and academic-specific QA checks. The result is a deck built to support spoken argument rather than replace it.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.
