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

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill hps-academic-paper

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nexu-io/open-design/main/plugins/_official/examples/hps-academic-paper/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md

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;
  --border:rgba(20,20,20,.14); --border-strong:rgba(20,20,20,.35);
  --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 */
  --accent-3:#8a1a1a; /* sparing dark red — errata/negative only */
  --good:#1a5a2a; --warn:#8a6a1a; --bad:#8a1a1a;
  --grad:linear-gradient(135deg,#1a3a7a,#0a0a0a);
  --grad-soft:linear-gradient(135deg,#e8edf8,#f5f3ea);
  --radius:0px; --radius-sm:0px; --radius-lg:0px;
  --shadow:none;
  --shadow-lg:0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.1);
  --font-sans:'Latin Modern Roman','Playfair Display','Noto Serif SC',Georgia,serif;
  --font-serif:'Latin Modern Roman','Playfair Display','Noto Serif SC',Georgia,serif;
  --font-mono:'JetBrains Mono',SFMono-Regular,Menlo,monospace;
  --font-display:'Latin Modern Roman','Playfair Display','Noto Serif SC',Georgia,serif;
  --letter-tight:-.01em; --letter-normal:0;
  --ease:cubic-bezier(.4,0,.2,1);
}

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 Roman is named first so machines with LaTeX fonts get the real thing; Playfair Display (+ Noto Serif SC for CJK, then Georgia) is the webfont fallback. Google Fonts @import for 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.
  • .kicker is 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)

class device
.rule / .rule-double hairline rule / LaTeX titlepage double rule (2px over 1px)
.abstract italic abstract environment between two hairline rules, bold lead word
.cite [n] citation anchor — mono, link blue, underlined
.figure + .figcaption ruled figure box with numbered italic caption (<b>Figure 1:</b> …)
.booktabs three-line table: 2px top/bottom rules, 1px header rule, no vertical rules; .best bolds winners in link blue
.footnote dagger small print under a hairline rule
.references hanging [n] bibliography list, titles in <i>
.toc-list numbered outline with hairline separators and italic timing column
.section-num oversized ghost numeral (in --surface-2) for section dividers

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.
