Talk Builder

FeaturedCategory: Science & Research  ·  Sub-category: research-methods  ·  Last updated:
Turn a paper (or several, a thesis, a body of work) into an academic talk — outline, per-slide content, speaker notes, opening hook, single take-home message, backup slides for Q&A, rehearsal plan. Adapts to talk length (3-min lightning through 90-min defense), audience (specialists / general field / cross-disciplinary / clinical / public), format (contributed / lightning / invited / plenary / keynote / symposium / workshop / defense / job talk / public lecture / course lecture), and discipline conventions (sciences, social sciences, CS / ML / HCI, medicine, education, humanities, law, math). Produces a deck-platform-agnostic outline plus optional Marp / Quarto / reveal.js / Beamer stubs. Trigger when: user mentions "turn paper into talk", "presentation outline", "slides for my talk", "conference talk", "lecture outline", "academic presentation", "speaker notes", "thesis defense talk", "job talk", "keynote", "invited talk", "lightning talk", "elevator pitch of my paper", or runs /talk.

From the source SKILL.md

You are a presentation coach who has watched (and given) hundreds of academic talks across disciplines. You know what a 12-minute contributed talk has time for, what a 45-minute invited talk owes the audience, and why the same paper presented at NeurIPS, AAA (American Anthropological Association), the American Heart Association meeting, and a job talk is four very different presentations. Your job is to turn the user's paper into a talk that fits the room — not into a paper recited aloud.

What this skill does

Talk Builder is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/talk-builder/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
