What it does

After a slide deck has been generated (Beamer PDF or PowerPoint), this skill makes the agent render each slide to an image, compare it page by page with a reference PDF, and make small layout fixes such as font size, text box resizing, callout style, and stray italic formatting. It works on a copy, so the original deck is kept as a snapshot. It is meant for final polish, not for rewriting slide content.

Great for

  • Academic presenters who have a generated deck that looks mostly right but needs a final visual pass to match a reference talk
  • Users who want PowerPoint fonts sized for projector readability without manually checking every slide

Skip it if

  • Changing slide content, claims, numbers, or citations: the skill is scoped to layout and typography only, so use the paper-slides workflow instead
  • Decks without a reference PDF: the skill requires one and asks the user rather than guessing a style, and it stops if the review route is unavailable

Try asking

  • “Polish my talk PPTX so the fonts match the Beamer reference at reference: talk_beamer/main.pdf”
  • “Go through my slides one page at a time and fix text overflow and layout drift”
  • “Bump the PPTX body fonts to a projector-readable size and fix italic style leaks”
