Suggest gaia theme for bold/keynote style, uncover for minimal, default for general.

Slide Structure Guidelines

  1. Title slide — Use <!-- _class: lead --> with title, subtitle, author, date
  2. Agenda/Overview — 3-5 bullet points of what's covered
  3. Content slides — One idea per slide, 3-6 bullet points max
  4. Code slides — Use fenced code blocks with language specifiers
  5. Diagram slides — Use Mermaid or describe the diagram for the user to add
  6. Image slides — Use ![bg right:40%]() for split layouts with placeholder paths
  7. Summary slide — Key takeaways
  8. Closing slide — Thank you / Q&A / contact info

Content Quality Rules

  • One idea per slide — if a slide has two topics, split it
  • 6x6 rule — max 6 bullets, max 6 words per bullet (guideline, not strict)
  • Progressive disclosure — build complexity gradually
  • Mix layouts — alternate between text, code, images, and split slides
  • Add speaker notes — use <!-- Speaker note text --> after slide content
  • Use headings — every slide should have an h1 or h2

Code Slides Best Practices

  • Show only relevant code snippets (10-20 lines max)
  • Add comments highlighting the key parts
  • Use <!-- _class: lead --> before a code slide for context
  • For codebase presentations, use actual code from the repo

Technical Presentation Patterns

For codebase-driven decks, use these slide patterns:

<!-- _class: lead -->
