Slide Deck Production Recipe

This recipe runs the full pipeline for creating a short slide deck with a consistent visual language. Follow the numbered steps every time, and do not stop until all slides have been generated, exported, and organized.

Steps

0. Understand the source material and plan the narrative.

   • Read the source document (article, blog post, PDF, etc.) or any other content the user explicitly references.
   • Clarify what the user wants to communicate—what angle, insight, or storyline should the deck highlight.
   • Outline the full sequence of slides before generating visuals, noting the key message for each slide (including a cover/intro slide plus the content slides) so you can describe the plan in later edit_image prompts.

1. Define the visual language with Generate Image.

   • Use generate_image to produce a single “style prototype” slide. The image should look like a slide and explicitly showcase the complete design system: color palette swatches, representative graphical motifs (diagrams, textures, or shapes), and typographic treatments for titles and body copy. Treat this image as the canonical reference for all future slides.
   • Save the generated style prototype somewhere convenient (e.g., Images/<deck-name>-style-template.png). Once you have this style image, all subsequent slide rendering steps must refer to it explicitly (e.g., “use the visual style of <attached template>”).

2. Establish the workspace structure.

   • Ensure there is a slide-decks/ directory at the workspace root; create it if it does not exist.
   • For the current project, create a kebab-case subdirectory under slide-decks/ (e.g., slide-decks/history-of-corporation/). This folder will house the generated slides.
   • Each slide should be produced as a separate image file named with an ordinal prefix (e.g., slide-00-cutline.png for cover, slide-01.png, slide-02.png, …) so the sequence is clear.
