# Academic Slide Refiner This skill provides a structured workflow for transforming a dense, paper-like presentation into a clear, concise, and compelling talk for a short academic conference slot (e.g., 20 minutes). ## Core Principles 1. **One Core Idea Per Slide**: Every slide must have a single, clear takeaway. If you have two ideas, make two slides. 2. **The 5-Second Rule**: An audience member, seeing the slide for the first time, should grasp its main point within 5 seconds without needing to read the whole paper. 3. **Talk, Don't Read**: Slides are visual aids for the audience, not speaker notes.

Stick to a simple, high-contrast theme. * **Default Style**: White background, dark text (black or very dark blue), and one or two accent colors for highlighting. * No gradients, shadows, or decorative backgrounds. ## External Report Constraints For advisor-facing decks: 1. Use English only. 2. Remove internal/local markers from final slides: - no absolute paths or local directory names, - no long version tags (`*_20260304_192047` style), - no internal host/user identifiers. 3. Prefer semantic experiment labels (`Baseline`
