Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Content & Select Style

Read source content
If --style specified, use that style
Otherwise, analyze content for style signals
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:

# 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:

Slide 1: Cover Slide (poster-style, heroic typography)
Slides 2-N-1: Content slides (consistent internal style)
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:

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

Session Management: If the image generation skill supports --sessionId:

Generate a unique session ID at the start (e.g., slides-{topic-slug}-{timestamp})
Use the same session ID for all slides
This ensures visual consistency (color scheme, style, typography) across all slides

For each slide, generate using:

# With session support
/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 --sessionId slides-topic-20260117

Generation flow:

Generate images sequentially with the same session ID
After each image, output progress: "Generated X/N"
On failure, auto-retry once
If retry fails, log reason, continue to next

Step 6: Completion Report

Slide Deck Generated!

Topic: [topic]
Style: [style name]
Audience: [audience]
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
