Design Philosophy

Decks designed for reading and sharing, not live presentation:

• Each slide self-explanatory without verbal commentary
• Logical flow when scrolling
• All necessary context within each slide
• Optimized for social media sharing

See references/design-guidelines.md for:

• Audience-specific principles
• Visual hierarchy
• Content density guidelines
• Color and typography selection
• Font recommendations

See references/layouts.md for layout options.

File Management

Output Directory

slide-deck/{topic-slug}/
├── source-{slug}.{ext}
├── 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

Slug: Extract topic (2-4 words, kebab-case). Example: "Introduction to Machine Learning" → intro-machine-learning

Conflict Handling: See Step 1.3 for existing content detection and user options.

Language Handling

Detection Priority:

1. --lang flag (explicit)
2. EXTEND.md language setting
3. User's conversation language (input language)
4. Source content language

Rule: ALL responses use user's preferred language:

• Questions and confirmations
• Progress reports
• Error messages
• Completion summaries

Technical terms (style names, file paths, code) remain in English.

Workflow

For the full step-by-step workflow, use references/workflow.md. Keep the main flow in this order:

1. Setup & analyze: load .lovstudio-skills/lovstudio-any2deck/EXTEND.md when present, save source content, analyze style signals, detect language, choose slide count, and check for existing slide-deck/{topic-slug} output before continuing.
2. Confirm: use AskUserQuestion for style, audience, slide count, outline review, and prompt review. If custom dimensions are selected, collect texture, mood, typography, and density.
3. Generate outline: read the selected preset from references/styles/ or combine dimension docs from references/dimensions/, then write outline.md using references/outline-template.md.
4. Review outline when requested, then generate per-slide prompts under prompts/ using references/base-prompt.md and references/layouts.md.
5. Review prompts when requested, generate slide images, optionally apply branding with scripts/apply-branding.py, then merge PPTX/PDF with the TypeScript scripts.
6. Report the output directory, generated slide count, PPTX/PDF paths, style, audience, language, and any partial failures.

Partial workflows (--outline-only, --prompts-only, --images-only, --regenerate) and slide modification procedures are documented in references/workflow.md.

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
• Step 2 confirmation required - do not skip (style, audience, slides, outline review, prompt review)
• Step 4 conditional - only if user requested outline review in Step 2
• Step 6 conditional - only if user requested prompt review in Step 2
