Presentations & Documents

Route presentation, poster, and document tasks to the correct reference. Read all relevant references — most tasks span format + design + content.

Task Router

Defaults: "poster" without format -> LaTeX. "Presentation" without format -> PDF slides. "Use this template" -> pptx-templates workflow.

Shared Principles

• Visual-first: Plan visuals first, generate, review at reduced scale, then assemble. Target 60-70% visual content, 30-40% text.
• Content limits: Poster 300-800 words, slides ~50 words/slide. Body text 24pt+, titles 32pt+.
• Quality gates: No text overflow, 4.5:1 contrast minimum, max 6 lines per slide, 20%+ whitespace.
• Validation: Generate -> convert to images -> inspect overflow/overlap/font/contrast -> fix (max 2 iterations).
• Speaker notes: Add for every slide. 1-2 min/slide, 2-3 bullet points, bridge sentences.

Poster Graphics Requirements

Every poster graphic prompt must include:

• Max 3-4 elements (3 is ideal), max 10 words total
• Giant bold text (80pt+ labels, 120pt+ key numbers)
• High contrast only, 50% white space minimum
• Reject if: 5+ items, 5+ workflow stages, 4+ methods compared

Layer 3 Skills
