Research Talk Deck

Supply the paper, research notes or verified source material, audience expertise, venue, talk duration and desired question time. Include approved figures, equations, tables and full citation details. Resolve a missing timing, audience or evidence requirement before drafting; do not accept fabricated results to fill the presentation.

Extract the core question, contribution, key equation, method, experiment, principal result, limitation and future direction. Arrange the spoken arc from motivation to formulation, method, analysis, evidence, limits and takeaways. Split or merge frames according to complexity and the available speaking time, with one key message per frame.

Choose one of the four projection-oriented palettes and plan figures at a scale the room can read. Give a key equation its own frame with a plain-language reading; keep simple mathematics as real text, verify any simplification and preserve necessary qualifications in notes. Trim tables to the comparison being discussed. Functional plots, method paths and arrows use accessible inline SVG; other figures must be locally supplied and approved.

Populate style-kit recipes through plan.json, replacing sample claims, equation text, chart labels, data-like styles and picture descriptions. The eight recipe names cover title, problem, objective, method, intuition, evaluation, limits and takeaways; reuse them where useful instead of forcing an eight-frame talk. The bundled adapter/streaming-forecast example is fictional, including its benchmark improvements and proof intuition.

Compose, build and check with the packaged Python 3 tools and the agreed slide count/style kit. Resolve example leftovers and image slots, optimize oversized embedded images if warned, then check again. Keep the shared editor unchanged and all final media/fonts local or embedded. Set UI language independently of slide language; use English slide copy by default unless another language is requested.

Open the output over local HTTP and review each frame for projection readability, equation meaning, labels, crops, notes and page bounds. Edit through Edit or E; test image replacement, object movement, slide order, colors, undo/redo and notes. After adding, removing or reordering slides, explicitly update and inspect section labels, page counts and progress rails: these are slide content, not a guaranteed live progress calculation.

Save (Cmd/Ctrl+S), reopen the saved HTML and rehearse with the planned discussion time. Export from the standalone file, run check-pptx.py and inspect PPTX in PowerPoint, Keynote or WPS; check PDF pagination separately. Confirm notes, expression readability, font substitution and image layers in the actual export. Browser-local recovery and a sandboxed preview are not substitutes for a saved portable deck.
