Visual Audit of Slide Deck

Perform a thorough visual layout audit of a slide deck.

Steps

1. Read the slide file specified in $ARGUMENTS

2. For Quarto (.qmd) files:

   • Render with quarto render Quarto/$ARGUMENTS
   • Open in browser to inspect each slide

3. For Beamer (.tex) files:

   • Compile and check for overfull hbox warnings

4. 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

5. Produce a report organized by slide with severity and recommendations

6. 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)
