Baoyu Slide Deck

Generates professional slide deck images from content. Creates outlines with style instructions, then generates individual slide images. Use when user asks to "create slides", "make a presentation", "generate deck", "slide deck", or "PPT".

# Slide Deck Generator

Transform content into professional slide deck images.

## Usage

```bash
/baoyu-slide-deck path/to/content.md

```

## Script Directory

**Agent Execution Instructions**:
1. Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as `{baseDir}`
2. Script path = `{baseDir}/scripts/<script-name>.ts`
3. Resolve `${BUN_X}` runtime: if `bun` installed → `bun`; if `npx` available → `npx -y bun`; else suggest installing bun

## 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

Copy this checklist and check off items as you complete them:

```
Slide Deck Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Setup & Analyze
  - [ ] 1.1 Load preferences
  - [ ] 1.2 Analyze content
  - [ ] 1.3 Check existing ⚠️ REQUIRED
- [ ] Step 2: Confirmation ⚠️ REQUIRED (Round 1, optional Round 2)
- [ ] Step 3: Generate outline
- [ ] Step 4: Review outline (conditional)
- [ ] Step 5: Generate prompts
- [ ] Step 6: Review prompts (conditional)
- [ ] Step 7: Generate images

```

### Flow

```
Input → Preferences → Analyze → [Check Existing?] → Confirm (1-2 rounds) → Outline → [Review Outline?] → Prompts → [Review Prompts?] → Images → Merge → Complete
```

### Step 1: Setup & Analyze

**1.1 Load Preferences (EXTEND.md)**

Check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):

```bash
# macOS, Linux, WSL, Git Bash
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
test -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md" && echo "xdg"
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"
```

```powershell
# PowerShell (Windows)
if (Test-Path .baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md) { "project" }
$xdg = if ($env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME) { $env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME } else { "$HOME/.config" }
if (Test-Path "$xdg/baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md") { "xdg" }
if (Test-Path "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md") { "user" }
```
