What it does
This is a set of three Codex skills around PowerPoint and research work. Image to VBA turns an academic figure, a slide screenshot or a UI capture into editable Office shapes and VBA code rather than a static picture, keeping hard regions as small raster inserts. Rebuild Image in PowerPoint makes the agent drive PowerPoint directly and rebuild a whole slide object by object. Academic Paper to PPT assembles a deck for a defense or a report from a paper or a document. Each sub-skill sits in its own folder and installs separately.
Who it is for. For researchers, graduate students and teachers who need editable slides and research figures.
Good fit when
- You need to turn a figure or screenshot into editable PowerPoint shapes
- You need to rebuild a slide as an editable object, not an image
- You need a defense deck built from a paper
Not a fit when
- No PowerPoint or Office installed for live slide rebuilding
- You cannot run generated VBA macros in your environment
- You lack rights to the source images and paper material
Example request
Use $xiaobei-skill-image-to-vba to convert this uploaded academic image into editable Office VBA Shapes codeLimitations
The skills generate and help run VBA macros, so run only trusted code and read the generated file first; Office may block macro import. Live slide rebuilding needs a local PowerPoint or Office on Windows or macOS. The documentation is mostly in Chinese, while skill invocation is in English. Rights to the source images and paper content rest with the user. Apache-2.0 licensed.
How to disable. Remove the link or folder of the sub-skill from the agent skills directory, for example from ~/.codex/skills.
FAQ
Can I install the whole repo in one command?
No, the root is deliberately without a SKILL.md and serves as an index. You install a specific sub-skill from the skills folder, guided by skill-catalog.json.
What about macro safety?
The skills generate VBA, so run only trusted code and read the .bas file first. Office may require access to the VBA project object model, which is a normal security boundary.

README in short
The README presents the author's open set of Codex skills about AI and research work. The set has three sub-skills: turning an image into editable shapes and VBA, rebuilding an image directly in PowerPoint, and assembling a deck from a paper. The repo root is an index without a SKILL.md, so you install a single sub-skill via skill-installer or a manual link. It warns about macro safety and image rights. Apache-2.0 licensed.
