hps-academic-paper
Helps your agent review large language models. It maps the field, identifies gaps, and presents evidence. Useful for academic research.
What it does
This plugin creates presentations with a clean, academic look, like a scientific paper. It uses a design with a paper-like background, dark text, and blue citations.
When to use it
- ✓To present academic work.
- ✓To create a visual summary of a research project.
- ✓To make a presentation with a formal and professional style.
Example of what to ask your AI
“Create a presentation about advances in artificial intelligence using the academic theme.”

How it works
You provide the content, and the plugin applies a predefined design that mimics the appearance of a scientific paper, with hairline rules, serif fonts, and a restricted color scheme.
Installation

Academic Paper(学术论文风)
A locked, single-theme deck plugin in the html-ppt-studio family, ported from
the MIT-licensed lewislulu/html-ppt-skill
academic-paper theme (assets/themes/academic-paper.css on the upstream
templates/deck.html scaffold). The register is a LaTeX article walking on
stage: paper-white ground, ink-black serif text, link-blue underlined
citations, italic kickers, hairline rules everywhere, zero rounded corners,
no shadows. It reads like Computer Modern even when Computer Modern is not
installed.
Start from example.html in this plugin folder. It is the proven seed: keep
its :root token sheet, base/slide-system CSS, academic device classes, deck
chrome and the entire navigation script verbatim, then replace only the slide
content. Do not rewrite the design system, and do not introduce any color or
font outside this spec.
Design tokens (locked — reproduce verbatim in :root)
:root{
--bg:#fdfcf8; --bg-soft:#f7f5ed; --surface:#ffffff; --surface-2:#f5f3ea;

--text-1:#0a0a0a; --text-2:#333333; --text-3:#707070;
--accent:#1a3a7a; /* link blue — citations, "ours" data, best numbers */
--accent-2:#0a0a0a; /* ink — rules, heavy structure */

}
Hard color discipline: paper white, ink black, link blue, and the three
semantic statuses are the entire palette. --accent-3 dark red appears
only for errata, negative deltas or "withdrawn/deprecated" marks. Never add
gradients beyond the two declared tokens, never round a corner, never cast a
shadow stronger than --shadow-lg.
Typography
- All three display slots are serif.
Latin Modern Romanis named first so machines with LaTeX fonts get the real thing;Playfair Display(+Noto Serif SCfor CJK, then Georgia) is the webfont fallback. Google Fonts@importfor Playfair Display (incl. italics), Noto Serif SC and JetBrains Mono are the only permitted external references. - Headings weight 700, body 400, line-height 1.6. No uppercase headings, no
negative tracking beyond
--letter-tight:-.01em. .kickeris the theme signature: italic, link blue, sentence case,letter-spacing:0, weight 400 — never uppercase, never bold.- Numbers in stats/tables use
font-variant-numeric:tabular-nums.
Academic devices (theme-signature components — use them)

Every figure and table must carry a numbered caption — that is what makes
the deck feel like a paper. Diagrams are ink-line inline SVG (1.5px ink
strokes, serif labels, the "ours" box tinted #e8edf8/link blue); charts are
pure CSS bars on a heavy ink axis with baselines in muted --surface-2 and
exactly one link-blue "ours" bar. No chart libraries, no remote images.

FAQ
Can I change the colors?
No, the colors are fixed to maintain the academic style.
Can I add images?
Yes, but they should follow the style, like inline diagrams or simple charts.
How is the text formatted?
Headings are bold, body text uses a serif font, and citations are blue and underlined.
