  • Main hypothesis or objective
  • Brief method overview (schematic if available)

4. Key Results (3–5 slides, one per main finding)

For each Results subsection:

  • Slide title = the key message (e.g., "Catalyst achieves 95% efficiency at low overpotential")
  • Main figure (reproduced or described)
  • 2–3 bullet points explaining what the data shows
  • One sentence: so what? (interpretation)

5. Mechanism / Why It Works (1 slide)

  • Mechanistic explanation
  • Key experiment that proves the mechanism

  • Highlight where this paper advances the state of the art

7. Discussion & Limitations (1 slide)

Option A: Markdown outline (default — fast)

Generate a detailed slide-by-slide Markdown outline that the user can paste into:

  • Gamma.app (AI presentation tool)
  • Beautiful.ai
  • Google Slides / PowerPoint manually

Format:

# Slide 1: Title
**[Paper Title]**
Authors: ... | Journal: ... | Year: ...

---

# Slide 2: 研究背景
- 背景点1：...
- 背景点2：...
- 研究缺口：...

---

Option B: PPTX file (requires python-pptx)

Run: python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/nature-paper-hub/scripts/export_pptx.py --input <paper-json> --output ~/Downloads/paper-slides.pptx

Presenter Notes

For each slide, generate speaker notes in Chinese:

  • What to say (not read from slide)
  • Key emphasis points
  • Anticipated audience questions + suggested answers

Output

  1. Full slide outline (Markdown) — always provided
  2. PPTX file — if requested and python-pptx available
  3. Presenter notes for each slide
  4. Suggested follow-up discussion questions
