What It Does

Guides your AI agent through a 6-phase pipeline to produce complete, production-quality HTML presentations with PDF export:

1. STORY    → Narrative arc, emotional journey, persuasion structure
2. SLIDES   → Information architecture, one idea per slide
3. DESIGN   → Editorial HTML/CSS, typography, color, layout
4. IMAGES   → Source, download locally, integrate
5. SCRIPT   → Conversational speaker notes, timed to duration
6. EXPORT   → Vector PDF at 16:9 via Playwright

When It Activates

• User asks for a presentation, pitch deck, or keynote
• User needs slides for a talk, class, or meeting
• Trigger words: slides, presentation, deck, pitch, keynote

Key Principles

• Story beats information — walk through scenarios, not abstract concepts
• Visualize, don't describe — file trees and diagrams over paragraphs
• Interactive beats static — clickable step panels for technical content
• The AI Slop Test — no dark mode + neon, no glassmorphism, no gradient text, no #000/#fff
