Design Philosophy

Decks designed for reading and sharing, not live presentation:

• Each slide self-explanatory without verbal commentary
• Logical flow when scrolling
• All necessary context within each slide
• Optimized for social media sharing

See references/design-guidelines.md for:

• Audience-specific principles
• Visual hierarchy
• Content density guidelines
• Color and typography selection
• Font recommendations

See references/layouts.md for layout options.

File Management

Output Directory

slide-deck/{topic-slug}/
├── source-{slug}.{ext}
├── outline.md
├── prompts/
│   └── 01-slide-cover.md, 02-slide-{slug}.md, ...
├── 01-slide-cover.png, 02-slide-{slug}.png, ...
├── {topic-slug}.pptx
└── {topic-slug}.pdf

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

Conflict Handling: See Step 1.3 for existing content detection and user options.

Language Handling

Detection Priority:

1. --lang flag (explicit)
2. EXTEND.md language setting
3. User's conversation language (input language)
4. Source content language

Rule: ALL responses use user's preferred language:

• Questions and confirmations
• Progress reports
• Error messages
• Completion summaries

Technical terms (style names, file paths, code) remain in English.

Workflow

Copy this checklist and check off items as you complete them:

Slide Deck Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Setup & Analyze
  - [ ] 1.1 Load preferences
  - [ ] 1.2 Analyze content
  - [ ] 1.3 Check existing ⚠️ REQUIRED
- [ ] Step 2: Confirmation ⚠️ REQUIRED (Round 1, optional Round 2)
- [ ] Step 3: Generate outline
- [ ] Step 4: Review outline (conditional)
- [ ] Step 5: Generate prompts
- [ ] Step 6: Review prompts (conditional)
- [ ] Step 7: Generate images
- [ ] Step 8: Merge to PPTX/PDF
- [ ] Step 9: Output summary

Flow

Input → Preferences → Analyze → [Check Existing?] → Confirm (1-2 rounds) → Outline → [Review Outline?] → Prompts → [Review Prompts?] → Images → Merge → Complete

Step 1: Setup & Analyze

1.1 Load Preferences (EXTEND.md)

Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):

# Check project-level first
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md && echo "project"

# Then user-level (cross-platform: $HOME works on macOS/Linux/WSL)
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────┐ │ Path │ Location │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ .baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md │ Project directory │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ $HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md │ User home │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────────┘

When EXTEND.md Found → Read, parse, output summary to user:

📋 Loaded preferences from [full path]
├─ Style: [preset/custom name]
├─ Audience: [audience or "auto-detect"]
├─ Language: [language or "auto-detect"]
└─ Review: [enabled/disabled]

When EXTEND.md Not Found → First-time setup using AskUserQuestion or proceed with defaults.

EXTEND.md Supports: Preferred style | Custom dimensions | Default audience | Language preference | Review preference

Schema: references/config/preferences-schema.md

1.2 Analyze Content

1. Save source content (if pasted, save as source.md)
   • Backup rule: If source.md exists, rename to source-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md
2. Follow references/analysis-framework.md for content analysis
3. Analyze content signals for style recommendations
4. Detect source language
5. Determine recommended slide count
6. Generate topic slug from content

1.3 Check Existing Content ⚠️ REQUIRED

MUST execute before proceeding to Step 2.

Use Bash to check if output directory exists:

test -d "slide-deck/{topic-slug}" && echo "exists"

If directory exists, use AskUserQuestion:

header: "Existing"
question: "Existing content found. How to proceed?"
options:
  - label: "Regenerate outline"
    description: "Keep images, regenerate outline only"
  - label: "Regenerate images"
    description: "Keep outline, regenerate images only"
  - label: "Backup and regenerate"
    description: "Backup to {slug}-backup-{timestamp}, then regenerate all"
  - label: "Exit"
    description: "Cancel, keep existing content unchanged"

Save to analysis.md with:

• Topic, audience, content signals
• Recommended style (based on Auto Style Selection)
• Recommended slide count
• Language detection

Step 2: Confirmation ⚠️ REQUIRED

Two-round confirmation: Round 1 always, Round 2 only if "Custom dimensions" selected.

Language: Use user's input language or saved language preference.

Display summary:

• Content type + topic identified
• Language: [from EXTEND.md or detected]
• Recommended style: [preset] (based on content signals)
• Recommended slides: [N] (based on content length)

Round 1 (Always)

Use AskUserQuestion for all 5 questions:

Question 1: Style

header: "Style"
question: "Which visual style fo
