deck-assembler

To merge multiple Beamer presentations, you need to assemble intro slides and existing paper decks into one master template while preserving each paper's content and adding bridges for a unified throughline.

You can combine paper decks without altering source files by applying a master template that imports existing content and records all assembly decisions in an assembly-map.md file for full traceability.

The best way to add transitions in a merged Beamer deck is to insert bridge slides that enforce a unified throughline, trimming redundant wrappers to ensure a smooth audience experience across topics.

To track included or omitted slides when combining Beamer talks, generate an assembly-map.md file that records inputs, presentation order, omitted wrappers, and imported resources.

Deck-assembler works with existing USC Beamer templates by satisfying the workspace contract, applying master templates to merge intro modules and selected paper decks into a single coherent presentation.

Combined presentation slides have duplicated wrappers because multiple paper decks retain their individual introductory frames; merging them into a master deck trims redundant wrappers and enforces a unified throughline.
