pptx
Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.

Covers biomedical literature (PubMed, PMC full text), preprint servers (bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv), multidisciplinary indexes (OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar), open access aggregators (CORE, Unpaywall). Use this skill whenever the user wants to search for research papers, find citations, look up articles by DOI or PMID, retrieve abstracts or full text, check open access availability, find preprints, explore citation graphs, search by author or keyword, or access any scholarly literature database. Also trigger when the user mentions PubMed, PMC, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv, OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, CORE, Unpaywall, or asks about paper metadata, citation counts, journal articles, manuscript lookups, literature reviews, or systematic searches. Even if the user just says "find papers on X" or "what's been published about Y" or "look up this DOI", this skill should activate.
