What problem does it solve?
It removes the time-consuming, error-prone work of designing and compiling a high-quality academic Beamer deck by orchestrating theme creation, code-first figure/table generation, slidewriting, and rigorous visual and LaTeX warning checks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Original Beamer theme + deck-wide styling: Produces an audience-tuned, non-boilerplate aesthetic with consistent palette, frame-title styling, bullets, and section dividers.
- Rhetoric-first slide construction: Structures the deck around the intended narrative arc (tension → investigation → resolution) and enforces titles-as-assertions and one-idea-per-slide.
- Code-first figures/tables and embedding: Generates figures and tables from R, Python, or Stata scripts before embedding them into the deck, reducing mismatches and broken compiles.
- Compile-clean and layout-collision prevention: Enforces zero LaTeX warnings, runs TikZ-based visual collision cleanup, and includes audits for labels/coordinates.
- Sub-agent audits: Dispatches a rhetoric audit and a graphics audit to diagnose problems before final delivery.
Quick Start
Use the beautiful_deck skill to create a Beamer deck from scratch by first specifying the source content, committing to one audience type, choosing a tone/aesthetic path, selecting one code language for figures/tables, and confirming the one-sentence takeaway the audience should remember.
