SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generated slide decks often look “almost right” but still suffer from visual-weight drift, font-size issues (especially for projectors), and small typography/layout defects that hurt readability and professionalism.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-page Codex review against a visual reference: compares each slide (PPTX/Beamer) to a reference PDF and targets mismatches.
  • Targeted, non-content layout fixes: applies surgical adjustments to typography and layout such as font scaling, text-frame resizing to prevent overflow, and style-leak corrections (e.g., italic run inheritance).
  • Beamer + PPTX support with verification loop: preserves original decks, snapshots pre-polish state, re-renders, and re-triages until the remaining issues are minimal.

Quick Start

Run slides-polish on your deck and provide a matching reference PDF using the command: /slides-polish /path/to/talk.pptx -- reference: /path/to/reference.pdf -- style: generic

How does per-slide review work for correcting presentation typography?▼

What is the best way to prepare generated slide decks for projector readability?▼
