Academic Workflows

Choose the kind of talk you are preparing. Each workflow points to a suitable template and the layouts, components, and theme settings you are most likely to need.

Workflow	Start here	Best when
Paper talk	paper-talk template	You are presenting one paper or your accepted work.
Thesis defense	thesis-defense template	You need argument, evidence, limitations, Q&A, and appendix navigation.
Literature review	reading-group or seminar template	You compare papers, gaps, and research directions.
Results-heavy presentation	conference-lightning or paper-talk template	The talk is driven by metrics, ablations, and experimental evidence.
Course lecture	basic or academic template	You teach concepts, definitions, examples, and takeaways.

Before choosing a palette, check the theme mode and contrast guide for readability recommendations.

These pages describe talk structures. CLI workflow apply is a separate action that appends snippets to an existing file. Use init --template to create the project shown in each guide.
