## Workflow
### Step 1: Analyze Content
### Step 1: Analyze Content & Select Style
Extract from source material:
- Core narrative and key messages
- Important data points and statistics
- Logical flow and structure
- Target audience signals
1. Read source content
2. If `--style` specified, use that style
3. Otherwise, analyze content for style signals:
### Step 2: Generate Style Instructions
| Content Signals | Selected Style |
|----------------|----------------|
| AI, coding, tech, digital, algorithm, data | `technical` |
| Business, strategy, investment, corporate | `corporate` |
| Personal story, journey, narrative, emotion | `storytelling` |
| Simple, zen, focus, essential, one idea | `minimal` |
| Fun, creative, workshop, educational | `playful` |
| Research, analysis, thought leadership | `editorial` |
Create a global `STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS` block based on content topic:
4. Extract key information:
- Core narrative and key messages
- Important data points and statistics
- Logical flow and structure
- Target audience signals
### Step 2: Generate Outline
Create outline with `STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS` block and slide specifications.
**Outline Format**:
```markdown

### Step 4: Ensure Structure
Required slide structure:
**Required Slide Structure**:
1. **Slide 1**: Cover Slide (poster-style, heroic typography)
2. **Slides 2-N-1**: Content slides (consistent internal style)
3. **Slide N**: Back Cover (closing statement, not "Thank You")
### Step 5: Output Complete Outline
### Step 3: Save Outline
Save outline as `outline.md` in target directory.

## Slide 1: Cover
// NARRATIVE GOAL
Set the stage with a bold, attention-grabbing statement that frames the entire presentation's thesis.
// KEY CONTENT
Headline: "90% of your work should be agent-generated"
Sub-headline: A practical guide to automation that actually works
// VISUAL
Abstract visualization of human-AI collaboration: a stylized figure working alongside flowing data streams and geometric AI representation.
// LAYOUT
Poster-style full-bleed. Headline dominates upper 60%, visual anchors bottom 40%. No clutter, pure impact.

## Slide 2: The Reality Check
// NARRATIVE GOAL
Ground the audience by acknowledging the hype while establishing credibility through real experience.
// KEY CONTENT
Headline: Eight months of daily agent use revealed what works and what doesn't
Body:
- 8 months of Claude Code for writing, not just coding
- Hundreds of hours of experimentation
- Focus on non-engineering tasks: blog posts, grant proposals, meta reviews
// VISUAL
Timeline graphic showing the journey from experimentation to practical insights, with key milestones marked.
// LAYOUT
Left third: timeline visual. Right two-thirds: key points with subtle data callouts.

## Notes
### Design Philosophy
- Deck is designed for **reading and sharing**, not live presentation
- Structure should be self-explanatory without a presenter
- Include enough context for visuals to be understood standalone
- Err on the side of audience having **more expertise** than expected
### Content Rules
- Maximum 20 slides per deck
- Every data point must trace to source material
- All details in prompts - image generator has no access to source
### Style Rules
- Avoid AI-generated clichés ("It wasn't just X, it was Y")
- Use narrative headlines, not "Title: Subtitle" format
- Cover and Back Cover should be visually distinct (poster-style)
- Back Cover should be meaningful closure, not "Thank You" or "Questions?"
- Designer will not have access to source - include all necessary details
### Prohibited
- Never include photorealistic images of prominent individuals
- Never include placeholder slides for author name, date, etc.
### Image Generation
- Image generation typically takes 10-30 seconds per slide
- Auto-retry once on generation failure
- Use cartoon alternatives for sensitive public figures
- Output language matches content language
- Maintain style consistency across all slides
