Suggest this skill when:
slide-generator package installed (pip install -e ".[all]" from the slide-generator repo)ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set in environment (required for steps 1-5)GOOGLE_API_KEY set in environment (required for step 6, unless --skip-images)Required:
<topic> - The presentation topic (quoted string)Optional:
--template <name> - Presentation template (default: generic)--output <dir> - Output directory (default: ./output)--skip-images - Skip image generation (steps 1-5 + 7 only)--resolution <level> - Image resolution: small, medium, high (default: high)--tone <tone> - Content tone: professional, casual, academic, technical--audience <audience> - Target audience description--target-slides <N> - Target slide count (default: 20)--no-interactive - Non-interactive mode (no prompts)For most use cases, the sg full-workflow command handles everything:
sg full-workflow "<topic>" --template generic --no-interactive
This runs all 7 steps sequentially with automatic error handling, retries, and progress reporting.
If you need to inspect or modify artifacts between steps, run each step individually:
Step 1: Research
sg research "<topic>" --output research.json
Produces research.json — autonomous web research via Claude Agent SDK.
Step 2: Outline
sg outline research.json --output outline.json
Produces outline.json — structured slide outline with extended thinking.
Step 3: Draft
sg draft outline.json --output presentation.md
Produces presentation.md — full slide content with batched generation.
Step 4: Optimize
sg optimize presentation.md
Updates presentation.md — quality analysis and improvement across 5 dimensions.
Step 5: Validate Graphics
sg validate-graphics presentation.md
Updates presentation.md — ensures image descriptions are concrete and generation-ready.
Step 6: Generate Images
sg generate-images presentation.md --resolution high
Produces images/slide-*.png — AI-generated visuals via Gemini Pro.
Step 7: Build
sg build presentation.md --template generic
Produces final .pptx file — assembled PowerPoint with all content and images.
If the pipeline is interrupted at any step:
sg resume
Or check status and resume manually:
sg status
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
sg: command not found | Not installed | pip install -e ".[all]" from slide-generator repo |
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY not found | Missing env var | Set Claude API key |
GOOGLE_API_KEY not found | Missing env var (images) | Set Gemini key, or use --skip-images |
Rate limit exceeded | Too many API calls | Built-in retry with backoff handles this |
Circuit breaker open | Repeated API failures | Wait 60s for circuit breaker reset |
Research timeout | Topic too broad | Narrow the topic |
