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

Directory Backup

If target directory exists, rename existing to <dirname>-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS

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>
