What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Turns a source folder, existing deck, or presentation idea into a complete presentation product by routing through source intake, product grilling, evidence, story, prototype, stage review, and final delivery. Use when starting a presentation from materials, rebuilding a deck, resuming a partial presentation project, or asking for an end-to-end PPT/PDF workflow.

Make a presentation product
Read repo instructions first. Route the project from the earliest unresolved gate instead of recreating work.
Workspace
- Derive or confirm
deck-id, then usepresentation-work/<deck-id>/. - Original presentation source folders are read-only by default.
- Inspect existing artifacts in the source folder, work area, and slide folder before creating anything new.
- Reuse equivalent artifacts when they already satisfy the current gate.
- Writing artifacts: every gate that says "Write X from
templates/X.md" means create that file in the work area using your runtime's file-write tool (theWrite/Edittool, or shell redirection if that is all you have). Start from the named template, fill it with real content for this deck, and write it to the path the gate specifies. There is no separate build script — file creation is your responsibility.
Status
- Use the shipped helper at
.agents/skills/make-presentation/scripts/status.mjs. - If
presentation-work/<deck-id>/STATUS.mdexists, runnode .agents/skills/make-presentation/scripts/status.mjs validate presentation-work/<deck-id>. - Otherwise initialize it with
node .agents/skills/make-presentation/scripts/status.mjs init <work-root> <deck-id> <source-root> <mode> <mode-reason>. - Never reset an existing status file unless the user explicitly requests a reset; only then append
--force. - Treat artifact existence as a clue, not proof that a gate passed.
- Run
node .agents/skills/make-presentation/scripts/status.mjs next <work-root>and resume from the returned earliest unresolved gate. - Follow
references/status-schema.mdfor gate names, status values, and update commands.
Mode
Read references/modes.md before routing.
- Choose
generalfor internal, creative, or low-risk decks without consequential external claims. - Choose
research-enhancedwhen the deck depends on consequential external claims, research, citations, datasets, policy, law, medicine, psychology, finance, safety, or statistics. - Re-evaluate mode after source intake. If later evidence triggers research safeguards, run
node .agents/skills/make-presentation/scripts/status.mjs set-mode <work-root> research-enhanced "<reason>". - Read the current mode from
STATUS.mdbefore invoking Evidence or Finalization. - Under deadline pressure, reduce scope; never silently waive evidence, readability, or export integrity.
Route one gate at a time
Read references/gates.md for pass conditions and artifact owners. Invoke exactly one focused skill for the earliest unresolved gate:
source-intake→presentation-source-intakeproduct-grill→presentation-product-grillevidence→presentation-evidencestory-architecture→presentation-story-architecturestory-grill→presentation-story-grilldeck-prototype→presentation-prototypestage-grill→presentation-stage-grillproduction-qa→presentation-deck-qa
- Do not skip ahead because a PPTX, PDF, or other artifact already exists.
- Read
references/gate-results.md, then translate a passed focused-skill result withnode .agents/skills/make-presentation/scripts/status.mjs result <work-root> <gate> passed "<reason>" --artifact <path> [--artifact <path>]... [--input <value>]... [--decision <value>].... - Use
node .agents/skills/make-presentation/scripts/status.mjs setwhen recording a reviewed artifact path, inputs, or decisions outside the result handoff. - If product decisions remain unresolved, stop for one-question-at-a-time grilling with a recommended answer.
- If upstream decisions change, invalidate downstream gates and resume from the earliest invalidated gate.
Handoff
Report the chosen mode, current gate, reused artifacts, and next focused skill.
