SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Per-slide Codex review fixes typography and layout drift so your Beamer/PPTX slides match a reference’s visual weight instead of looking slightly off.

Core Features & Use Cases

Per-page Codex review with a visual reference: compares rendered slide pixels against a reference PDF and triages PASS/NEEDS-WORK/BLOCKER before deep fixes.
Targeted PPTX and Beamer fixes only: adjusts font scaling, text-frame dimensions, em-dash/spacing, italic style leak containment, callout-box discipline, and Chinese-font rendering hints—without rewriting content.
Auditable, versioned outputs: preserves the original deck, snapshots pre-polish state, and records a per-slide changelog with optional interactive pauses.

Quick Start

Run slides-polish on your generated deck and provide a reference PDF the polished version must visually match.
