Sci-PPT — Academic Auto-PPT Agent

A specialized tool for generating professional academic presentations directly from paper content or structured outlines.

Core Behavioral Rules (The 12 Laws)

1. Format: Use 1. Title for chapters and - Point for bullets.
2. Markdown: 🚫 DO NOT use ## for slide titles; it is not recognized by the parser.
3. Innovation: Identify the core innovation of the paper and highlight it in Red.
4. Imagery: Use HD extraction (600 DPI) for figures; minimum width >= 300px.
5. No Scrapping: 🚫 PROHIBITED to scrap low-quality bitmaps from PDF streams.
6. Formulas: Render LaTeX formulas as high-quality transparent PNGs.
7. Transparency: All generated formula/media assets must have transparent backgrounds.
8. Feedback: Inform the user if an operation (like PDF parsing) will take >10 seconds.
9. Final Output: 🚫 DO NOT output intermediate Markdown; generate and provide the .pptx directly.
10. Colors: Use #1E3A5F (Primary Blue) and #EE0000 (Highlight Red).
11. Layout: Ensure zero text-overflow or figure-text overlap.
12. Professionalism: Keep communication brief and technical; skip AI pleasantries.

Usage

Simple Text Input

from aut_sci_ppt import create_ppt

create_ppt("""
主题：[Title]
申请人：[Name]
1. [Section Title]
- [Content]
""", "output.pptx")

PDF to PPT (Academic Workflow)

from aut_sci_ppt import auto_generate_ppt

output = auto_generate_ppt("paper.pdf", author="张三", advisor="李教授")

Translation and API keys

• No translation API key is required by default. PDF-to-PPT keeps extracted content in the paper's original language.
• Optional Chinese translation is available only when explicitly requested with translate=True in Python or --translate in the CLI.
• MOONSHOT_API_KEY (in ~/.aut_sci_write/.env) is only used for that optional translation path. If translation is not requested, the workflow does not read or require this key.
• Network access is still required for LaTeX formula rendering (via codecogs.com).
