SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fixes visual drift and typography issues in an already-generated slide deck so every page matches a reference’s visual weight and remains readable on a projector.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-page Codex review loop: compares each slide against a reference page-by-page and applies targeted fixes until layout matches.
  • Targeted PPTX/Beamer surgical corrections: adjusts font scaling and text-frame geometry, fixes overflow, prevents italic style leaks, and addresses layout drift without changing slide content.
  • Deterministic, auditable outputs: preserves the original deck, snapshots pre-polish state, and writes changelogs and review traces for traceability.

Quick Start

Run this skill on your generated deck by providing the deck path and a reference PDF to align visual weight, for example: /slides-polish talk_pptx/talk.pptx — reference: talk_beamer/main.pdf — style: why-rf.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix text-frame overflow and layout drift in an existing PPTX deck?

Fix text-frame overflow and layout drift in a PPTX deck by applying per-slide surgical corrections that adjust font scaling and text-frame geometry against a reference PDF without altering your original content.

What causes italic style leakage in Beamer slides and how do I resolve it?

Italic style leakage in Beamer slides stems from style propagation errors during generation. Resolve it using guarded per-slide shape edits that isolate and correct typography while preserving speaker notes and content integrity.

Can I align visual typography and spacing in a generated deck to a reference PDF?

Yes, you can align visual typography and spacing to a reference PDF using a Codex MCP per-page fresh-thread review loop. It compares rendered slide PNGs against the reference and applies targeted fixes until visual weight matches.

Does per-slide deck polishing preserve speaker notes and anonymity placeholders?

Yes, per-slide deck polishing preserves speaker notes, speaker content integrity, and anonymity placeholders. It uses guarded shape edits to correct visual layout without overwriting semantic content or metadata.

What is the best way to ensure generated slides remain projector-ready without rewriting content?

The best way to ensure slides remain projector-ready is applying deterministic, auditable per-slide corrections that snapshot the pre-polish state, write changelogs, and produce versioned outputs aligning visual weight to a reference.

Why do my generated PPTX slides have inconsistent visual weight across pages?

Generated PPTX slides have inconsistent visual weight due to layout drift during automated generation. A per-page Codex review loop resolves this by comparing rendered slide PNGs against a reference PDF and applying targeted typography fixes.
