Steps
- Read the slide file specified in
$ARGUMENTS - For Quarto (.qmd) files:
- Render with quarto render Quarto/$ARGUMENTS - Open in browser to inspect each slide
- For Beamer (.tex) files:
- Compile and check for overfull hbox warnings
- Audit every slide for: OVERFLOW: Content exceeding slide boundaries FONT CONSISTENCY: Inline font-size overrides, inconsistent sizes BOX FATIGUE: 2+ colored boxes on one slide, wrong box types SPACING: Missing negative margins, missing fig-align LAYOUT: Missing transitions, missing framing sentences, semantic colors
- Produce a report organized by slide with severity and recommendations
- Follow the spacing-first principle:
1. Reduce vertical spacing with negative margins 2. Consolidate lists 3. Move displayed equations inline 4. Reduce image/SVG size 5. Last resort: font size reduction (never below 0.85em)
