| description | Stage 1 orchestrator for the Presentation Factory — Frame. Walks the intake using AskUserQuestion for discrete fields (style, brand, intent, audience, runtime) and conversational input for free-text (purpose, context, source materials). Calls the presentation-factory-slalom-brand for brand ingestion and the presentation-factory-scaffolder agent to set up WIP/[deck]/. Outputs a filled 00_Intake_Brief.md.

Goal
Capture enough intake that the Draft stage has unambiguous direction. The output is WIP/[deck-name]/00_Intake_Brief.md and the brand folder populated with tokens + logo.
When to invoke
Called from presentation-factory-create-flow or directly via /presentation-frame.
Required context
../../references/presentation-factory-foundations.md and ../../references/slalom-brand-patterns.md.
Steps
Step 1 — Deck name
Ask via conversation (free-text): "What's a short slug for this deck? (kebab-case, e.g. acme-q3-kickoff or composable-dxp-pitch)"
Step 2 — Intent
AskUserQuestion: "What's this deck for?"
Options:
1. Pursuit / sales presentation (going into a deal)
2. Internal — playbook, training, or operating doc
3. Conference talk or external speaking
4. Solution / practice deck (reusable)
5. Client-facing one-off (specific client, specific moment)
Step 3 — Style
AskUserQuestion: "Which style?"
Options:
1. Informational — text-heavy, designed to read on the page (proposals, training, leave-behinds)
2. Presentational — image-led, designed to back a speaker (conferences, oral pitches, kickoffs)
Reference the foundations file for the trade-offs. The choice locks all template selections downstream.
Step 4 — Brand
AskUserQuestion: "Which brand?"
Options:
1. Slalom (default)
2. Composable DXP (Composable Platforms practice sub-brand)
3. Client — custom brand for a specific client
If Client:
- Hand off to
presentation-factory-slalom-brand with the user's choice of ingestion path (PDF / .com crawl / manual).
- Wait for
presentation-factory-slalom-brand to populate WIP/[deck]/brand/.
- Verify tokens.css and logo.svg are in place.
If Slalom or Composable DXP:
- Still hand off to
presentation-factory-slalom-brand — it copies the pre-built tokens and logos.
Step 5 — Audience
Free-text: "Who's in the room? What do they know coming in? What do they need to leave with?"
A 1-3 sentence answer is enough. Probe if too thin.
Step 6 — Runtime & target length
AskUserQuestion: "Target runtime?"
Options:
1. 15 minutes — short pitch / status update
2. 30 minutes — standard executive briefing
3. 45-60 minutes — full working session / pitch with discussion
4. Longer — half-day workshop, conference keynote (you'll tell me)
Map to target slide count:
- 15 min → ~8-12 slides
- 30 min → ~15-20 slides
- 45-60 min → ~20-28 slides
- Workshop / keynote → conversational entry
Step 7 — Purpose
Free-text: "In one paragraph, what does this deck need to accomplish? What's the ONE thing the audience should leave knowing or deciding?"
Step 8 — Context & source materials
AskUserQuestion: "Do you have source materials to draw from?"
Options:
1. Yes — I'll paste / attach links and docs now
2. Yes — but I want you to research and gather context first
3. No — work from what you know about the topic + Slalom POV
4. I have a previous deck to refresh / extend
For options 2: invoke web search / fetch as needed. For option 4: locate the prior deck (in WIP/Archive/ or the canonical destinations) and load 10_Content.md as a starting point.
Step 9 — Scaffold the WIP
Call the presentation-factory-scaffolder agent with the collected answers. The agent creates WIP/[deck]/ and writes the seeded 00_Intake_Brief.md.
Step 10 — Readiness check
Verify before declaring Frame complete:
- ✅
WIP/[deck]/00_Intake_Brief.md exists and is filled
- ✅
WIP/[deck]/brand/tokens.css exists
- ✅
WIP/[deck]/brand/logo.svg (or .png) exists
- ✅
WIP/[deck]/assets/{images,infographics,icons}/ directories exist (empty)
If anything missing, surface it and re-do the relevant step.
Output
Path to WIP/[deck-name]/00_Intake_Brief.md. Return to caller (the main orchestrator) so the next stage can pick it up.
