What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Translate a Beamer `.tex` lecture to a Quarto RevealJS `.qmd` mirror. Multi-phase: TikZ extraction → slide-by-slide translation → citation conversion → automatic QA parity check. Use when user says "translate to quarto", "port to revealjs", "make an html version", "convert this beamer to quarto", "mirror this lecture in qmd", or after a Beamer deck is ready for web publication. Output lands in `Quarto/`.

Beamer → Quarto Translation Workflow

Full translation of a Beamer LaTeX lecture to Quarto RevealJS HTML slides.

CRITICAL: The Beamer .tex file is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH.

Phase 0: Pre-Flight Checks

0A. Environment Parity Audit

Scan Beamer for all custom environments. Verify CSS equivalents exist in your theme SCSS. If any are missing, create them FIRST.

0B. TikZ Freshness Verification

Run /extract-tikz to verify SVGs match current Beamer source.

0C. RDS Data Inventory

List all RDS files needed for interactive charts.

0D. Citation Key Mapping

Extract all citations from Beamer, map to bibliography keys.

Phase 1: Pre-Translation Preparation

Read complete Beamer source, count frames
Inventory figures (TikZ → SVG, R plots → plotly, other → SVG)

Phase 2: Create QMD File with YAML Header

Standard RevealJS YAML with theme, logo, footer, bibliography
Setup chunk for R data loading if needed

Phase 3: Slide-by-Slide Translation

Delegate to beamer-translator agent
1:1 frame-to-slide mapping
Verbatim math, environment parity, no font reduction

Phase 4: TikZ Diagram Integration

Reference extracted SVGs with 0-based indexing.

Phase 5: R Figure Integration (Plotly-First)

Interactive plotly from RDS data, static SVG for TikZ/complex figures.

Phase 6: First Render & Content Fidelity Check

Render, count slides, go through EVERY slide checking for issues.

Phase 6.5: Pedagogical Review

Run pedagogy-reviewer before visual polish.

Phase 7: Visual Polish

Semantic colors, transition slides, framing sentences.

Phase 8: Proofreading

Run /proofread on the QMD file.

Phase 9: Final Verification & Deployment

Render, open in browser, verify all elements.

Phase 10: Beamer Source Sync

Apply any corrections back to Beamer source.

Phase 11: Documentation

Update CLAUDE.md, session log, create PR.
