| name | presentation-factory-orchestrator |
| description | End-to-end orchestrator for creating professional presentations. Routes the full pipeline across four stages — storyboard → pptx-builder → speaker-notes → bundle-manager — and validates minimum inputs before starting. Use when the user wants to create a complete presentation package, build a deck from scratch, or produce a full presentation bundle with slides and speaker guide. Triggers on: "create a presentation", "make a deck", "build slides", "full presentation package", "crea una presentación", "prepara un deck", "necesito diapositivas", "armá una presentación completa". |
Presentation Factory — Orchestrator
Route the full presentation pipeline, validate inputs, and coordinate all four sub-skills to deliver a complete /deliverables/<slug>/ bundle.
Minimum Required Inputs
Before starting the pipeline, collect these four fields. Use vscode_askQuestions if any are missing:
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|
topic | Core subject of the presentation | "Q2 2026 Product Roadmap" |
audience | Who will attend and their expertise level | "C-suite, non-technical" |
duration | Target presentation length in minutes | 20 |
slug | Short identifier for output folder (lowercase, hyphens) | q2-roadmap-2026 |
Optional but recommended:
key_messages — up to 5 bullet points the audience must remember
style — tone/style preference (e.g., corporate, storytelling, educational)
language — output language (default: same as user input)
Pipeline Stages
Run stages sequentially. Confirm completion of each before proceeding to the next.
Stage 1: presentation-storyboard
→ Input: topic, audience, duration, key_messages, style, language
→ Output: storyboard.docx (human-readable, saved to /deliverables/<slug>/)
storyboard.json (machine-readable, direct input to Stage 2 — no conversion needed)
Stage 2: presentation-pptx-builder
→ Input: storyboard from Stage 1
→ Output: deck.pptx saved to /deliverables/<slug>/
Stage 3: presentation-speaker-notes
→ Input: storyboard from Stage 1
→ Output: speaker-notes.docx saved to /deliverables/<slug>/
Stage 4: presentation-bundle-manager
→ Input: all files in /deliverables/<slug>/
→ Output: index.xlsx + manifest.json in /deliverables/<slug>/
Orchestration Rules
- Validate before starting: if
topic, audience, duration, or slug are missing, ask for them using vscode_askQuestions. Do not proceed without all four.
- Slug sanitization: auto-convert
slug to lowercase with hyphens if the user provides it in another format (e.g., "Q2 Roadmap 2026" → q2-roadmap-2026).
- Stage failures: if a stage fails or produces incomplete output, surface the error to the user and offer to retry that stage before continuing.
- Progress reporting: after each stage, confirm what was produced and where it was saved before moving to the next.
- Partial runs: if the user only wants specific stages (e.g., "just build the PPTX"), route directly to that sub-skill without forcing the full pipeline.
Output Structure
All deliverables land in a single project folder:
/deliverables/<slug>/
storyboard.docx ← Stage 1
deck.pptx ← Stage 2
speaker-notes.docx ← Stage 3
index.xlsx ← Stage 4
manifest.json ← Stage 4
Status Summary Format
After the full pipeline completes, output:
## ✅ Presentation Package Ready
**Project**: <topic>
**Slug**: <slug>
**Folder**: /deliverables/<slug>/
| File | Status | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| storyboard.docx | ✅ Created | <N> slides |
| deck.pptx | ✅ Created | <N> slides |
| speaker-notes.docx | ✅ Created | <total_time> min script |
| index.xlsx | ✅ Created | |
| manifest.json | ✅ Created | |
Limitations
- This skill orchestrates; the actual file generation is handled by the four sub-skills.
- Does not submit or publish to any external service.
- Requires Python 3.9+ if using the bundle-manager script.
- See
references/pipeline-stages.md for detailed stage contracts and error codes.
