Academic Social Publisher

Generate platform-optimized academic content from papers for ResearchGate, LinkedIn, and WeChat. Activated when Chopin shares a paper/article and wants to create social posts, or when composing a new research announcement. Can optionally generate a video introduction script and produce a video (requires AI video API key). Use when Chopin wants to amplify academic influence, share published papers, or create research awareness campaigns.

Transform academic papers into engaging social media content for ResearchGate, LinkedIn, and WeChat. Optionally generate a video.

Input

Provide or forward the paper with:

• Title
• Authors
• Abstract / key points
• Publication venue / conference
• Link to paper
• (Optional) Specific angle or highlight to emphasize

Output Platforms

1. ResearchGate Post

• Tone: Academic, formal
• Length: 300-500 words
• Content: Full abstract highlight + methodology punchline + link
• Includes: Hashtags (#FormationControl #EventTriggered #MultiAgentSystems etc.)

2. LinkedIn Post

• Tone: Professional but conversational, storytelling-driven
• Length: 150-300 words (shorter for feed algorithm)
• Content: Hook opener → key contribution → why it matters → CTA (read paper / connect)
• Format: Short paragraphs, emoji sparingly, line breaks for readability

3. WeChat Article (公众号风格)

• Tone: Chinese, semi-formal, accessible to educated non-specialists
• Length: 800-1500 characters
• Content: 标题 (catchy) → 背景 → 核心贡献 → 亮点解读 → 结语
• Style: Use "我们" for warmth, include 2-3 emoji, technical terms with brief explanations

4. Video Introduction Script (Optional — always generated, video production depends on config)

• Length: 60-90 seconds narration (~150-200 words)
• Structure:
  • Opening hook (1 sentence, intriguing question or surprising fact)
  • What this paper is about (1-2 sentences)
  • Why it matters (1 sentence)
  • Key contribution (1-2 sentences)
  • Closing CTA
  • Scene/slideshow suggestions for visuals
• Output: Always produces a complete narration script

Video Production (Optional — requires config)

Video generation is opt-in and requires setup. Without an API key, the skill still produces the full script for manual use.

Option A: Full AI Video Pipeline (requires API key)

Requires one of:

• HeyGen — text-to-video with avatar, best for presenter-style research talk
• Runway / Pika / Kling — AI video clips from text/image prompts
• ElevenLabs — already configured for TTS voice

Pipeline:

1. Generate narration audio via ElevenLabs (or configured TTS)
2. Generate slide/image assets via image generation
3. Compose video via ffmpeg
4. (Optional) Enhance with HeyGen/Runway API

Option B: Script-Only Mode (no API key needed)

Even without video API keys, always:

• ✅ Generate full video narration script with scene directions
• ✅ Suggest slide content and visual layout
• ✅ Provide timing cues

User can take the script and produce the video manually or with their own tools.

Workflow

1. Parse paper info (title, authors, abstract, venue)
2. Identify 3 key talking points
3. Draft ResearchGate version
4. Adapt to LinkedIn voice
5. Adapt to WeChat Chinese style
6. Generate video narration script (always)
7. If video API configured: produce audio/video
8. Output all versions clearly separated

Configuration

To enable video generation, add to your skill config or environment:

yaml

# Example: TTS only (already has sag/ElevenLabs)
video:
  enabled: true
  tts: elevenlabs  # uses existing sag tool
  # Generate slides as images

# Example: Full pipeline
video:
  enabled: true
  tts: elevenlabs
  video_api: heygen  # or runway/pika/kling
  api_key: YOUR_KEY

If video.enabled: false or no API key, skip video production and deliver script only.
