Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Content & Select Style

  1. Read source content
  2. If --style specified, use that style
  3. Otherwise, analyze content for style signals
  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
# Slide Deck Outline: [Topic]

**Source**: [source file or "Direct input"]
**Style**: [selected style]
**Audience**: [target audience]
**Language**: [output language]
**Slide Count**: N slides
**Generated**: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm

---

<STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS>
Design Aesthetic: [Overall style description]
Background Color: [Description and Hex Code]
Primary Font: [Font name for Headlines]
Secondary Font: [Font name for Body copy]
Color Palette:
  Primary Text Color: [Hex Code]
  Primary Accent Color: [Hex Code]
Visual Elements: [Lines, shapes, imagery style, etc.]
</STYLE_INSTRUCTIONS>

---

## Slide 1: [Descriptive Title]

**Position**: Cover
**Filename**: 01-cover.png

// NARRATIVE GOAL
[Storytelling purpose within the overall arc]

// KEY CONTENT
Headline: [Main message - narrative, not "Title: Subtitle" format]
Sub-headline: [Supporting context]
Body:
- [Key point 1 with specific data from source]
- [Key point 2 with specific data from source]

// VISUAL
[Detailed description of imagery, charts, graphics, or abstract visuals]

// LAYOUT
[Composition, hierarchy, spatial arrangement, focus points]

---

## Slide 2: [First Content]
...

## Slide N: [Back Cover]
...

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 3: Save Outline

Save outline as outline.md in target directory.

If --outline-only flag is set, stop here.

Step 4: Create Prompt Files

For each slide, create a style-specific prompt file.

Prompt Format:

markdown
Slide theme: [slide title]
Style: [style name]
Position: [cover/content/back-cover]

Visual composition:
- Main visual: [style-appropriate description from VISUAL section]
- Layout: [from LAYOUT section]
- Decorative elements: [style-specific decorations]

Color scheme:
- Background: [style background color]
- Primary text: [style text color]
- Accent: [style accent color]

Text content:
- Headline: [headline text]
- Sub-headline: [sub-headline if any]
- Body points: [bullet points if any]

Style notes: [specific style characteristics to emphasize]

Step 5: Generate Images

For each slide, generate using:

bash
/baoyu-gemini-web --promptfiles [SKILL_ROOT]/skills/baoyu-slide-deck/prompts/system.md [TARGET_DIR]/prompts/01-cover.md --image [TARGET_DIR]/01-cover.png

Generation flow:

  1. Generate images sequentially
  2. After each image, output progress: "Generated X/N"
  3. On failure, auto-retry once
  4. If retry fails, log reason, continue to next

Step 6: Completion Report

Slide Deck Generated!

Topic: [topic]
Style: [style name]

Location: [directory path]
Slides: N total

- 01-cover.png ✓ Cover
- 02-content-1.png ✓ Content
- 03-content-2.png ✓ Content

- 0N-back-cover.png ✓ Back Cover

Outline: outline.md

[If any failures]
Failed:
- 0X-slide-name.png: [failure reason]

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?"

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
