Codex Slides Research
The canonical codex-slides sibling skill owns the complete workflow. Use
deep_research when MCP is available; otherwise run CLI command research at
../codex-slides/scripts/codex-slides.mjs. Preserve its Markdown and citations
so the user can review or edit the evidence before slide generation.
For the default interactive workflow, first open the Codex Slides home screen
in the Codex Browser, submit the research request there, and keep the created
project visible while its research, outline, style, and render checkpoints
advance. Use the lower-level sequence below only for CLI automation, recovery,
or a user-requested headless workflow:
- If a research workflow fits, call
list_scenarios / CLI scenarios and
pass the selected scenarioId into deep_research / CLI research with
one to four rounds. This carries the scenario's evidence contract into the
search brief.
- Call
create_outline / CLI outline with researchDoc set to the reviewed brief.
- Revise the draft with
revise_outline / CLI revise-outline when needed.
- Call
render_deck / CLI render only after the outline is accepted.
- Call
open_codex_slides / CLI open and navigate the returned project
resource or URL in the in-editor Browser for visual verification.
