Design Philosophy

This deck is designed for reading and sharing, not live presentation:

• Each slide must be self-explanatory without verbal commentary
• Structure content for logical flow when scrolling
• Include all necessary context within each slide
• Optimize for social media sharing and offline reading

File Management

Output Directory

Each session creates an independent directory named by content slug:

slide-deck/{topic-slug}/
├── source-{slug}.{ext}    # Source files (text, images, etc.)
├── outline.md
├── outline-{style}.md     # Style variant outlines
├── prompts/
│   └── 01-slide-cover.md, 02-slide-{slug}.md, ...
├── 01-slide-cover.png, 02-slide-{slug}.png, ...
├── {topic-slug}.pptx
└── {topic-slug}.pdf

Slug Generation:

1. Extract main topic from content (2-4 words, kebab-case)
2. Example: "Introduction to Machine Learning" → intro-machine-learning

Conflict Resolution

If slide-deck/{topic-slug}/ already exists:

• Append timestamp: {topic-slug}-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
• Example: intro-ml exists → intro-ml-20260118-143052

Source Files

Copy all sources with naming source-{slug}.{ext}:

• source-article.md (main text content)
• source-diagram.png (image from conversation)
• source-data.xlsx (additional file)

Multiple sources supported: text, images, files from conversation.

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Content

1. Save source content (if pasted, save as source.md)
2. Follow references/analysis-framework.md for deep content analysis
3. Determine style (use --style or auto-select from signals)
4. Detect languages (source vs. user preference)
5. Plan slide count (--slides or dynamic)

Step 2: Generate Outline Variants

1. Generate 3 style variant outlines based on content analysis
2. Follow references/outline-template.md for structure
3. Save as outline-{style}.md for each variant

Step 3: User Confirmation

Single AskUserQuestion with all applicable options:

Question	When to Ask
Style variant	Always (3 options + custom)
Language	Only if source ≠ user language

After selection:

• Copy selected outline-{style}.md to outline.md
• Regenerate in different language if requested
• User may edit outline.md for fine-tuning

If --outline-only, stop here.

Step 4: Generate Prompts

1. Read references/base-prompt.md
2. Combine with style instructions from outline
3. Add slide-specific content
4. Save to prompts/ directory

Step 5: Generate Images

1. Select available image generation skill
2. Generate session ID: slides-{topic-slug}-{timestamp}
3. Generate each slide with same session ID
4. Report progress: "Generated X/N"

Step 6: Merge to PPTX and PDF

npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/merge-to-pptx.ts <slide-deck-dir>
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/merge-to-pdf.ts <slide-deck-dir>
