Slide Design
Domain skill for research slide communication. Beamer is the first-class implementation target; principles apply across deck formats.
Stage-Scoped References
Load per stage; do not load them all at every dispatch:
| Reference | Load when |
|---|---|
references/planning.md |
PLAN phase - audience-context inventory, deck objective, structure, and main-vs-backup policy. |
references/beamer-techniques.md |
IMPLEMENT when creating or refactoring Beamer source, frame structure, columns, figures, tables, equations, navigation, or reusable commands. |
references/beamer-overlays.md |
IMPLEMENT when writing Beamer overlays, incremental reveal, alerts, backup links, or stable multi-step technical slides. |
references/layout-checks.md |
IMPLEMENT or review when editing Beamer, checking line wraps, overflow, figures, overlays, or final PDF layout. |
references/integration.md |
INTEGRATE / final polish - deck-wide consistency, buildability, backup-slide hygiene, and communication review. |
For bundled scripts and assets, <skill-dir> is the directory containing this SKILL.md; substitute the real path before running commands or copying files.
Non-Beamer decks (PowerPoint, Keynote, browser slides): the Core Principle, Audience Context Discipline, Techniques, and the non-Beamer-specific checklist items apply. The Beamer references, starter template, and check_slide_layout.py do not apply. Read the build/layout [BLOCKING] item as "the deck renders or exports without overflow or unresolved placeholders, verified in the target tool."
