Turn an academic paper PDF into a presentation-ready .pptx. This is a conductor skill: you make the
editorial and design judgments, while the mechanical steps are handled by this skill's own self-contained
scripts — PDF parsing via the MinerU cloud API (scripts/parse_pdf.py) and .pptx rendering via a PptxGenJS
bridge (scripts/render_pptx.py). It orchestrates a "paper → outline → spec → render → QA" pipeline and
depends on no other skill.
