What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you compile Rhetoric of Decks–style Beamer presentations into clean, publication-ready PDFs with strict guardrails that prevent layout and compile failures.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Rhetoric of Decks slide constraints: Enforces one-idea-per-slide, assertion-style titles, minimum typography sizing, and a “no bullet lists (usually)” architecture approach.
- Compile-loop discipline: Runs the required pdflatex command and checks fatal errors and warning counts so you can reach “zero compile warnings” before moving on.
- TikZ geometry verification workflow: Provides a Bézier-first audit process (including collision risk reasoning) and explicit label/spacing rules to prevent overlapping or clipped graphics.
- Figure generation alignment: Specifies how to generate matplotlib figures consistently (palette, vector PDFs) and how to place labels near curved arrows using exact Bézier math instead of eyeballing.
Quick Start
Use the compiledeck skill to compile your Beamer .tex file into a PDF and ensure the build completes with zero fatal errors and zero Overfull/Underfull warnings.
