Paper Talk Workflow

Use this path for a conference presentation, lab meeting, or reading-session talk centered on one paper and its contribution.

npx -y slidev-theme-scholarly init paper-session --template paper-talk

Recommended layouts

• paper-summary for the paper snapshot.
• method-pipeline for the approach.
• result-highlight for the primary result.
• limitation when you need a balanced caveat.
• references for the bibliography.

Recommended components

• PaperCard to show title, authors, venue, and contribution.
• ContributionList to separate claimed contributions.
• EvidenceBlock to connect one claim to supporting evidence.
• MetricCard or MetricGrid for headline numbers.
• Cite and BibTeX markers for citations.

Useful snippets

pnpm exec sch snippet append cite --file slides.md
pnpm exec sch snippet append methodology --file slides.md
pnpm exec sch snippet append results --file slides.md

Use the VS Code sidebar previews when deciding whether a paper section needs a layout or a component.

Theme mode and contrast

Paper talks often mix dense text, equations, and result highlights. Prefer contentMode: light with chromeMode: match for citation-heavy slides, use sectionMode: dark only for section breaks, and check theme mode and contrast before using quote or Highlight blocks on light slides.
