Beamer Academic Deck

Produces compile-ready LaTeX Beamer source for academic talks and lectures. This skill is the render step — it governs how content lands on slides (the medium). Three upstream concerns are handled elsewhere and assumed (or done inline, lightly, when missing):

• Narrative & pacing (the one takeaway, the arc, time budget, what to cut) → research-talk-planner.
• Content reasoning (how to actually explain a method or idea — the pressure it responds to, intuition before formalism, math as justification, the fundamental tradeoff) → professor-mentor-technical-teaching.

These compose as layers, they do not compete: professor-mentor-technical-teaching decides what the right explanation is; this skill compresses that explanation to the medium. The professor layer is the source for the substance of teaching-oriented slides (lecture content, the seminar idea/method movement); it is not a deck structure — never expand its eight-stage arc onto eight dense slides. Pull its reasoning into a slide's Message and Notes, then cut to one signal per frame.

If the user has a talk plan, ingest it. If not, do a fast version of the planning questions below before writing any LaTeX.
