What Paper Deck does

Paper Deck turns papers and technical content into high-fidelity slide decks. It plans the narrative first, then generates 16:9 slide images page by page and compiles them into PPTX or PDF.

Paper Deck is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Paper Deck comes from a repository tagged academic, ai-tools, arxiv, claude-code and paper-reading.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Paper Deck — Visual Slide Director

把论文/知识内容做成看起来真的被设计过的幻灯片。

核心路线不是用 PPT 对象硬摆版式，而是：

先理解内容，做出 deck brief 和逐页叙事。
为每一页写清楚“这页要让观众看到什么、感到什么、记住什么”。
用生图模型生成 16:9 slide image。
合成 PPTX/PDF，并保留 prompts 作为可返修的源文件。

不可绕过的生图要求

Paper Deck 的 V1 是 raster-first AIGC slide image 工作流。除非用户明确要求“不要生图”“用代码画图”“只要可编辑 PPT”或“使用 HTML/SVG/Canvas 生成”，否则必须调用真实的 raster image generation backend 为每一页生成图片。

严格禁止把以下产物冒充为本 skill 的“生图页”：

用 Python/Pillow、SVG、HTML/CSS、Canvas、Mermaid、matplotlib、PPT shapes 或任何本地绘图代码直接画出的整页图片
用模板、纯排版脚本、截图、占位图或手工组合元素替代生图后端输出
先本地画整页，再仅做轻微滤镜/后处理后当作 AIGC slide image

允许的本地处理仅限：

移动、复制、重命名生图后端输出文件
必要的格式转换、压缩、尺寸校验、PPTX/PDF 合成
用户明确选择混合方案时，在生图背景上叠加少量可编辑文字层；此时必须在 deck-brief.md 和交付说明中明确记录“混合文字层”，不能声称整页文字都由生图模型完成

Frequently asked about Paper Deck

What else does zsyggg publish alongside Paper Deck?
Paper Deck is one of 3 skills that DirSkills catalogs from zsyggg/paper-craft-skills, the repository it ships in. Its siblings there include Paper Analyzer and Paper Method Illustrated. Each one is a separate skill with its own page in this directory, installs the same way Paper Deck does, and is maintained by zsyggg in that same repository. The rest of the collection is listed on the zsyggg/paper-craft-skills page.
How does Paper Deck compare to other AI Engineering skills?
Paper Deck ranks #1319 by stars among the 2451 AI Engineering skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Architecture Decision Records, AI-First Engineering and Agentic OS. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of Paper Deck against them.
