Use when working in semanas/NN/ directories to generate or refine reveal.js presentation slides for the AI-assisted development course. Wraps the superpowers pipeline (brainstorming → writing-plans → executing-plans → verification → finishing-branch) with slide-specific scaffolding for each phase. Triggered by /build-class. Includes a hard checkpoint at semanas/NN/spine.md before any slide HTML is generated.

Slide Generation
Wraps the superpowers pipeline to turn semanas/NN/source_material/ into semanas/NN/slides/index.html matching the course's established style and didactic voice.
When to use
User typed /build-class and the current working directory is semanas/NN/.
User asked to "build slides for week N" or "generate the deck for semana N".
User asked to refine an existing week's slides — in which case, skip phases 1-2 and go straight to phase 3 (execute) on the existing spine and plan, OR run a new spine if the request is large.
Required context — load these BEFORE phase 1
Read these files at the start of every invocation:
semanas/NN/source_material/index.md and the .md files it references
programa.md — find the row for week NN (alcance + temas)
Invoke superpowers:brainstorming with these overrides:
Design-doc target:semanas/NN/spine.md. NOT docs/superpowers/specs/.
Schema: copy the structure from spine-template.md exactly. Whole-week through-line first, then per-section.
Question order:
First: propose 2-3 candidate whole-week through-lines (different framings of the arc), recommend one, get user agreement.
Then: per section in source-material order, ask spine-schema questions (through-line — required; hook — only if it serves the section; analogy — only if one fits; walk-aways — required; animation needs — required; slide budget — required).
Skip these standard brainstorming questions: "what's the architecture / how will it scale / what tech stack", which don't apply to slide work.
Skip the per-section approach question. The spine schema fields ARE the structured prompts at section level.
After spine.md is written, ask the user: "Review and edit spine.md. Reply 'go' (or similar) when ready to plan." This is the hard checkpoint. Do not proceed to phase 2 without explicit user approval.
Phase 2: Plan (wraps superpowers:writing-plans)
Invoke superpowers:writing-plans with these overrides:
Plan target:semanas/NN/plan.md. NOT docs/superpowers/plans/.
Task chunking: one task per section in spine order. Plus:
First task: setup (verify slides/index.html exists or copy from shared/templates/week-template.html; verify img/ exists).
Last task: coherence pass (verify section transitions, whole-week through-line is visible, no orphan animations).
Per-task body: references the corresponding spine entry; lists patterns from shared/patterns/ likely to apply (concrete suggestions, not exhaustive); calls out any animations needed (reuse-existing or build-new); names speaker-note word target (~80–200 words/slide).
Hand straight to phase 3. No extra checkpoint here — the spine.md gate already happened.
Invoke superpowers:executing-plans. For each section task:
Re-read spine.md before starting (anti-drift).
Generate the section's slides into semanas/NN/slides/index.html (append, or insert at the right structural position).
Run the per-section review checklist below.
Show the section to the user; on approval, move to the next section.
Per-section review checklist
No bullet-list slides — every slide has visual structure (comparison / flow / pattern from shared/patterns/). Bullet lists with reveals are NOT acceptable.
Voice matches voice-and-didactics.md — second-person collaborative ("vamos a", "podés", "recordá"), Spanish technical-but-accessible, no AI filler.
One concept per slide.
No emojis.
Speaker notes follow the three-format structure: <strong> for actions (terse, glanceable), <u> for descriptions (terse, glanceable), <em> for spoken script (between quotes, conversational, can be longer). See voice-and-didactics.md.
Section opens with hook from spine if spine specifies one.
Key analogy from spine appears as a slide if spine specifies one.
All "what students walk away knowing" bullets are addressed somewhere in the section.
Patterns used are from shared/patterns/ (or a new pattern is introduced AND added to the catalogue, not silently inlined).
Inline style="..." is minimized — uses _config/theme/components.css classes where one exists.
Animations follow the init{Name}({ containerId }) contract from animation-pattern.md.
Phase 4: Verify and finish
Invoke superpowers:verification-before-completion (open slides/index.html locally, walk through, check fragments fire, animations load, no console errors).
Invoke superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch (commit any final changes, optionally PR).
Anti-patterns
DO NOT generate slides without first writing spine.md and getting user approval.
DO NOT skip the brainstorming phase even if user says "just generate the slides for week N". Push back: spine first, then slides. The spine is what makes the slides good.
DO NOT replace any superpowers skill's behavior. Only override targets, schemas, and question scope.
DO NOT silently invent new slide patterns. Add them to shared/patterns/ with a row in the catalogue.
DO NOT touch JS animations unless the spine explicitly calls for a new one.
