/gaia-slide-deck

What it does

/gaia-slide-deck creates a presentation slide deck with a narrative arc (hook, build, payoff), visual-design specs, and speaker notes. Each slide carries exactly one key message. The command defines an explicit visual-design system (color palette, typography, layout) before generating slides.

When to use it

• You need a presentation for a conference talk, team meeting, quarterly review, or workshop -- any deck that is not an investor pitch.
• You want a narrative-arc structure (hook, build, payoff) with one key message per slide and speaker notes.
• You want visual-design specifications (color palette, typography, layout) generated alongside the content.

Prerequisites

• No strict prerequisites. Works best when planning artifacts exist for context.
