Perform a thorough visual layout audit of a slide deck.

Steps

  1. Read the slide file specified in $ARGUMENTS

  2. For Quarto (.qmd) files:

    • Render with quarto render Quarto/$ARGUMENTS
    • Open in browser to inspect each slide
  3. For Beamer (.tex) files:

    • Compile and check for overfull hbox warnings
  4. Audit every slide for:

    OVERFLOW: Content exceeding slide boundaries FONT CONSISTENCY: Inline font-size overrides, inconsistent sizes BOX FATIGUE: 2+ colored boxes on one slide, wrong box types SPACING: Missing negative margins, missing fig-align LAYOUT: Missing transitions, missing framing sentences, semantic colors

  5. Produce a report organized by slide with severity and recommendations

  6. Follow the spacing-first principle:

    1. Reduce vertical spacing with negative margins
    2. Consolidate lists
    3. Move displayed equations inline
    4. Reduce image/SVG size
    5. Last resort: font size reduction (never below 0.85em)
