Architecting Slides Protocol

Overview

Quick Start

# Plan talk structure
# (Narrative planning is the first step)

# Choose a LaTeX template
# assets/beamer_template_conference.tex

# Integrate visuals from sys-multimodal
python scripts/slides_to_pdf.py slides/*.png -o presentation.pdf

Workflows

LaTeX Beamer (Default - Recommended)

Best for: Mathematical content, consistent formatting, academic rigor.

  1. Choose template from assets/ (e.g., beamer_template_conference.tex)
  2. Customize theme and colors
  3. Add content (equations, code, algorithms)
  4. Narrative Review: Ensure flow matches the story arc in references/presentation_structure.md
  5. Compile to PDF

See references/beamer_workflow.md for documentation.

Visual Presentations (Hybrid)

Best for: Visually stunning results, fast creation.

  1. Plan: Create detailed narrative plan for each slide.
  2. Generate: Use sys-multimodal or canvas-design skills for visual assets.
  3. Combine: Assemble into PDF with scripts/slides_to_pdf.py (powered by sys-multimodal utilities).
