yuv-decks — Build Yuval Avidani-style cinematic decks

The opinionated playbook for talk decks built on open-slide. Defines:

• The Yuval voice — plain-language, no jargon, story-driven
• The 4-act narrative arc — Boarding → Ascent → Cruise → Descent
• The JourneyBar — the single unifying visual on every slide
• Companion-skill orchestration — yuv-design-system, slide-authoring, nano-banana-pro, hyperframes, mermaid

Visual palette is pulled from yuv-design-system in Decks mode — Fly High purple/yellow/grey (the dedicated palette for slide-based output). For talks whose central metaphor IS literal flight, this skill's own cinematic-flight opt-in mode (sky-blue + hot pink) — see Step 5 — overrides the design system's Decks tokens. Never use Neon mode for slides; Decks mode is exclusive to presentations.

This skill is the distillation of building "Build Agents That Ship" for the NICE pre-hackathon (May 2026). Read it end-to-end before drafting any slides.

Where this skill sits in the YUV.AI pyramid

yuv-decks is in the middle tier of the YUV.AI skills pyramid. The top-tier orchestrator yuv-pilot routes here when the user wants a slide deck. You can also be invoked directly when the user says "make me a deck" without going through yuv-pilot first.

When this skill calls yuv-design-system, it MUST lock the mode to "Decks" — never let it fall through to Neon (web/app palette) or Warm Editorial. Decks mode is the only palette mode for slides.
