Goal

• Given content or a topic from the user, write a given number of slides

Workflow

Role

• Your role is specified in .claude/skills/role.ai_researcher.md

Input

• The user provides:
  • Information, a topic, or a file <TOPIC> about the topic to describe
  • (Optional) Number of slides <NUM_SLIDES>, otherwise assume <NUM_SLIDES> = 3
• If the user passed a file <TOPIC>, read it

Format

• For all formatting rules, templates, and structural guidelines, see .claude/skills/slides.rules.md

Create Slides

• Create <NUM_SLIDES> slides
• Start each slide with a * <TITLE> line
• Open with a standalone * Roadmap slide
• Close with a standalone * Summary slide (before * References, if the deck has one)
  • See .claude/skills/slides.rules.md ## Roadmap Slide / ## Summary Slide
  • These two do not count against <NUM_SLIDES>

Add Visuals

• Follow the instructions from .claude/skills/figure.rules.md

Save Result

• Do not print anything on the screen
• Save the result in an output file <OUTPUT_FILE>
  • If there was no input file, create <TOPIC>.slides.md in the current dir
  • If a file <FILE> was provided, create <FILE>.slides.md
  • If the destination file already exists, delete it and create a new one
• Say in the slides file how it was generated, with this comment right after the metadata-comment block:

  // Generated by `.claude/skills/slides.write/SKILL.md`
  

Verification

• Make sure that the new slides render correctly, e.g.,

  > gen_slides.py -i <OUTPUT_FILE> --notes_to_pdf_args="--skip_action open_pdf"
  

• The slides file says that it was generated by .claude/skills/slides.write/SKILL.md
