THE RESEARCHER'S SHORTCUT KIT · FREE SAMPLE DAY
Your Slide Design.
Your Claude Skill.
Build it once. Use it again and again.
Try one day of the Researcher's Shortcut Kit. In just 5–10 minutes, create a practical Claude skill using your institution's slide design.
FREE · 5–10 MINUTESWhat if Claude already knew your slide design?
Try one day of the Researcher's Shortcut Kit before you decide.
Today, you'll build a skill that helps Claude apply your institution's slide design whenever you ask for a presentation.
Fonts, colours, layouts and logos come from your own template. That means your presentation drafts can start in your institution's style, leaving you more time to polish the content.
What exactly is a Claude skill?
A skill is a set of instructions that Claude saves and follows whenever they are relevant.
You set it up once, and Claude can use it again in future chats.
And the best part? You'll learn a way of working that carries over to the other 29 builds in the Kit.
