Discover Presentation

Gathers presentation requirements through a conversational interview. Writes results to DISCOVERY.json and PROJECT.json in the project folder.

Gotchas

• Do not advance to Step 2 until at least 3 of 4 persona dimensions are known — thin personas produce generic slides
• Infer language from how the user writes; ask explicitly only if ambiguous
• Do not write DISCOVERY.json until the user confirms the defaults summary in Step 2

Startup

Before proceeding:

1. Run which marp — if not found, abort: ❌ marp-cli not installed. Run npm install -g @marp-team/marp-cli
2. Confirm the project folder is writable — if not, abort: ❌ Cannot write to <path>

If DISCOVERY.json already exists in the project folder, run the restart guard per RESTART-GUARD.md with phase discover-presentation before continuing.
