## Design Philosophy

This deck is designed for **reading and sharing**, not live presentation:
- Each slide must be **self-explanatory** without verbal commentary
- Structure content for **logical flow** when scrolling
- Include **all necessary context** within each slide
- Optimize for **social media sharing** and offline reading

## File Management

### With Content Path
```
content-dir/
├── source-content.md
└── source-content/
    └── slide-deck/
        ├── 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
```

Example: `/posts/ai-intro.md` → `/posts/ai-intro/slide-deck/`

### Without Content Path (Pasted Content)
```
slide-deck/{topic-slug}/
├── source.md
├── outline.md
├── prompts/
├── *.png
├── {topic-slug}.pptx
└── {topic-slug}.pdf
```

### Directory Backup

If target directory exists, rename existing to `<dirname>-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS`

## Workflow

### Step 1: Analyze Content

1. Save source content (if pasted, save as `source.md`)
2. Follow `references/analysis-framework.md` for deep content analysis
3. Determine style (use `--style` or auto-select from signals)
4. Detect languages (source vs. user preference)
5. Plan slide count (`--slides` or dynamic)

### Step 2: Generate Outline Variants

1. Generate 3 style variant outlines based on content analysis
2. Follow `references/outline-template.md` for structure
3. Save as `outline-{style}.md` for each variant

### Step 3: User Confirmation

**Single AskUserQuestion with all applicable options:**

| Question | When to Ask |
|----------|-------------|
| Style variant | Always (3 options + custom) |
| Language | Only if source ≠ user language |

After selection:
- Copy selected `outline-{style}.md` to `outline.md`
- Regenerate in different language if requested
- User may edit `outline.md` for fine-tuning

If `--outline-only`, stop here.

### Step 4: Generate Prompts

1. Read `references/base-prompt.md`
2. Combine with style instructions from outline
3. Add slide-specific content
4. Save to `prompts/` directory

### Step 5: Generate Images

1. Select available image generation skill
2. Generate session ID: `slides-{topic-slug}-{timestamp}`
3. Generate each slide with same session ID
4. Report progress: "Generated X/N"

### Step 6: Merge to PPTX and PDF

```bash
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/merge-to-pptx.ts <slide-deck-dir>
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/merge-to-pdf.ts <slide-deck-dir>
```

### Step 7: Output Summary

```
Slide Deck Complete!

- 01-slide-cover.png ✓ Cover
- 02-slide-intro.png ✓ Content

```

## Slide Modification

See `references/modification-guide.md` for:
- Edit single slide workflow
- Add new slide (with renumbering)
- Delete slide (with renumbering)
- File naming conventions

## References

| File | Content |
|------|---------|
| `references/analysis-framework.md` | Deep content analysis for presentations |
| `references/outline-template.md` | Outline structure and STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS format |
| `references/modification-guide.md` | Edit, add, delete slide workflows |
| `references/content-rules.md` | Content and style guidelines |
| `references/base-prompt.md` | Base prompt for image generation |
| `references/styles/<style>.md` | Full style specifications |

## Notes

- Image generation: 10-30 seconds per slide
- Auto-retry once on generation failure
- Use stylized alternatives for sensitive public figures
- Maintain style consistency via session ID

## Extension Support

Custom styles and configurations via EXTEND.md.

**Check paths** (priority order):
1. `.baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md` (project)
2. `~/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md` (user)

If found, load before Step 1. Extension content overrides defaults.
