AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a systematic approach to preparing a presentation deck before any slides are authored. It focuses on establishing a clear business narrative, verifying source lineage for all claims, and defining a strict design context. By following a defined decision sequence, users ensure that every slide serves a specific purpose and adheres to a consistent visual and structural framework.

What it does

  • Guides the selection of narrative frameworks like SCQA, pyramid, or MECE.
  • Assigns stable source IDs to metrics, quotations, and factual claims.
  • Defines design parameters including palette, typography, and spacing.
  • Records a comprehensive summary of assumptions and design constraints.
  • Enforces a one-message-per-slide rule with action-style titles.
  • Translates design signals into explicit layout specifications.

When to use it

  • When starting a new presentation deck from scratch.
  • When you need to ensure consistent design across multiple slides.
  • When you must maintain strict traceability for data and claims in a deck.
  • When you need to align a presentation with a specific brand or design profile.

Advantages

  • Ensures narrative coherence by requiring a chosen framework.
  • Prevents data ambiguity through mandatory source referencing.
  • Promotes visual consistency by locking design elements before authoring.
  • Reduces rework by clarifying requirements and constraints early.

Usage examples

“I need to create a project update deck for stakeholders.”
The agent will initiate the decision sequence, asking for your audience, slide count, and preferred narrative framework to begin building the deck's foundation.
“Help me define the design style for my new presentation.”
The agent will guide you to select a brand guide or a design profile, such as editorial-minimal, to lock in your typography, palette, and spacing requirements.

PPTX Deck Context

Prepare the deck before coordinates or PPTX objects are authored. This skill owns the business narrative, source lineage, and design lock.

Decision sequence

  1. Confirm audience, decision, slide count, language, sources, and brand requirements.

  2. Use the user-selected narrative framework. If none is specified, offer mckinsey, scqa, pyramid, mece, action-title, assertion-evidence, exec-summary-first, or custom; do not choose silently.

  3. Assign stable source IDs and plan a source_ref for every metric, quotation, chart value, and factual claim.

  4. Choose a documented design direction. Prefer a user brand guide, then read-only reference-deck evidence, then a reusable profile from references/design-profiles.md.

  5. Record the framework, assumptions, source manifest, palette, typography, spacing, and signature elements in summary before authoring slides.

Rules

  • One slide should communicate one message, with an action-style title where the framework calls for it.

  • Treat design references as design evidence, not content or asset sources.

  • Do not copy external fonts, images, icons, or logos without recorded licensing evidence.

  • Translate design signals into explicit fills, typography, spacing, and bboxes; do not rely on an automatic layout engine.

  • Keep long source material concise. Ask for a summary or decision-relevant excerpt instead of turning a deck spec into a document dump.

See references/design-profiles.md for reusable profile guidance.
