build-slides

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines the tedious process of creating, updating, and rendering presentation slides for academic papers by detecting project structure, applying templates, and ensuring assets and bibliography are correctly wired.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-format support: Automatically handles Quarto multi-format decks (RevealJS + Beamer) and pure Beamer Overleaf presentations.
• Workflow detection and initialization: Detects Quarto vs Overleaf setups and can initialize a Quarto presentation from templates.
• Render and validation: Updates section slides, verifies input paths and figures, renders both RevealJS and Beamer outputs, and integrates with LaTeX compile checks and visual audits.
• Use case: Convert a paper section into a polished conference slide deck, include format-conditional figures, and produce both web and PDF-ready outputs.
