Skill instructions
paper2video - paper/assets/deck - narrated MP4 paper2video is an orchestrator. It does not try to replace poster extraction, deck authoring, TTS, or ffmpeg compositing. It wires the current best pieces together: text paper.pdf - skills/paper2assets/scripts/buildpackage.py - assets/meta/sections.json + assets/meta/narration.json - deck source (ppt-master / paper2slides / existing PPTX) - assets/audio/.mp3 from skills/paper2poster/scripts/generateaudio.py - raw MP4 from skills/paper2video/scripts/rendervideo.py - timeline.json from skills/paper2video/scripts/buildtimeline.py - video.mp4 with burned-in subtitles from addsubtitles.py The important branch-level contract is this: when a paper2assets package is available, narration.json is the canonical narration order. Use it for TTS, video frame/audio pairing, and subtitle timing. This keeps paper2poster, paper2blog, paper2slides, and paper2video aligned. Paths Run commands from the AutoResearch repo root unless noted. bash PAPER2POSTER=ski
