What problem does it solve? Building a presentation for a defense, pitch, or talk often produces overloaded, jargon-heavy slides with weak titles and no speaker notes. This Skill enforces the assertion-evidence model and a closed design system so every slide carries one provable claim, one dominant visual, and speaker notes, then validates the deck through an automated critique gate before delivery. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured 7-step workflow: blocking intake (audience, goal, duration, context, source material, visual identity), narrative arc, human-validated storyboard, visuals, speaker notes, Marp assembly, and a mandatory control gate. - Closed design system: 8 locked layouts (cover, section, statement, quote, image-caption, diagram, chart, image-full) with fixed typography and spacing tokens; only the accent color is customizable per deck. - Automated visuals: Mermaid diagrams pre-rendered to PNG, charts built only from real provided data, and a strict placeholder format for screenshots not yet available. - Automated critique gate: a fresh sub-agent audits content rules (verb-based titles, max 3 bullets, max 15 words, sourced figures, glossed jargon) and rendered PNG visuals, looping until the deck is CONFORME. - Use Case: A student preparing a thesis defense provides notes and data; the Skill produces a Marp deck exportable to .pptx and PDF with diagrams, sourced charts, and full speaker notes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a slide deck for your presentation, providing your audience, goal, duration, and source material so it can run the intake step.
