SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Producing the same content as a slide deck, Word handout, web page, and PDF normally means re-briefing and re-formatting for each output. This Skill runs one shared content pipeline from a single brief and fans it out to per-format builders, so the content is written once and delivered in multiple formats without duplicate work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Shared content pipeline: Chains outline, write, design, and QA sub-skills, then invokes format builders for PPTX, DOCX, HTML, PDF, XLSX, and Visio outputs. - Compliance and brand gating: Applies pack-defined compliance gates and vocabulary blocklists when the --customer-share flag is set, plus per-format brand, honest-limitations, and provenance checks. - Run artifacts and recovery: Writes outline, content, design spec, per-format artifacts, and a QA report to a timestamped run directory, with resume support after mid-chain failures. - Use Case: A consultant needs a customer workshop deck, a Word handout, and an archivable PDF from one brief; a single invocation produces all three with a QA report. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to generate a customer-facing deck and Word handout from your brief file using the generate skill with the customer-share flag enabled.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a slide deck and Word document from the same brief?▼

Invoke the generate orchestrator with your brief and a comma-separated format list such as ppt,word. It runs the shared outline, write, and design pipeline once, then calls the PPT and Word format builders to produce both artifacts in one run directory.

What output formats does the generate pipeline support?▼

The pipeline supports PPTX, HTML web, and DOCX through curated format builders, plus PDF, XLSX, and Visio as template-only slots where the AI generates format-specific content at invocation time. Formats are selected with a comma-separated list.

When should I use a format-specific skill instead of the generate orchestrator?▼

Use a single format builder directly for one-format quick drafts, re-rendering an existing run with a new template via --from-pipeline, QA-only checks on an existing artifact, or outline-only ideation. The orchestrator is meant for multi-format output from one brief.

What does the --customer-share flag do in document generation?▼

The flag marks output as customer-bound, which upgrades the voice tier, enforces the active pack's vocabulary blocklist during writing, and runs pack-defined compliance gates on the content. A failing gate blocks the run with a BLOCKED status.

Why does a generate run fail during preflight?▼

Preflight fails when a requested format's brand template directory is missing and no --use-defaults flag is present, when a customer-share compliance gate fails, or when a template-only slot format is requested without operator confirmation. The run exits with BLOCKED status.

Can I resume a generate run that failed mid-pipeline?▼

Yes. When a sub-skill fails mid-chain, the orchestrator writes partial run state to RUN-STATE.md in the run directory. You can resume with the --resume flag and the run ID instead of restarting from the brief.
