Sci-PPT — Academic Auto-PPT Agent

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.

PDF to PPT (Academic Workflow)

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

Translation and

.env

values

• 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

  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).
