SmartDecks

SmartDecks is a local Codex skill for turning rough information into structured, visual, presentation-ready decks.

It reads notes, URLs, research summaries, PDFs, meeting notes, tables, and existing deck material, then produces a deck brief, storyline, slide plan, HTML slides or PPTX-ready output, and final visual QA.

What It Does

• Converts messy source material into executive-ready deck structure
• Interprets material into claims, tensions, causal logic, implications, and decisions instead of only summarizing it
• Uses action titles and one-message-per-slide logic
• Selects charts, tables, matrices, timelines, process flows, icon maps, and explanatory consulting diagrams
• Uses semantic icons only when they replace or compress words, such as data, risk, governance, workflow, decision, or human judgment
• Applies numbered visual templates so you can ask for “template 4” without memorizing names
• Supports HTML slide output and PPTX-oriented planning/rendering rules
• Checks overflow, overlap, contrast, missing sources, weak titles, and excessive text

Design Templates

SmartDecks includes twelve numbered visual directions. These are reusable visual and information-architecture systems, not fixed deck categories. Each one can support consulting analysis, proposals, business introductions, product stories, investor narratives, data readouts, problem diagnosis, solution recommendations, and executive decision materials.

No.	Template	Information Pattern
1	Executive Analytical Minimalism	Charts, comparisons, evidence, and recommendations
2	Executive Analytical Minimalism Dark	Strong conclusions, section transitions, and signal moments
3	Precision Linework System	Entity maps, milestones, operating facts, roles, locations, and structure
4	Gradient Grid Editorial	Narrative arcs, concepts, stages, teams, transformation stories, and outcomes
5	Quantitative Blueprint System	Metrics, forecasts, assumptions, scenarios, economics, and resource logic
6	Monochrome Signal System	Crisp arguments, business models, modules, traction, and decision paths
7	Strategic Report Neo-Corporate	Multi-option evidence, policy logic, implications, and dense executive structure
8	Vector Consulting Linework	Workflows, operating models, causal loops, and value chains
9	Soft Modular Neo-Brutalism	Modular systems, capability maps, and workflow loops
10	Pastel Neo-Brutalism	Bold comparisons, options, business models, and launches
11	Analog Editorial Collage	Qualitative synthesis, field notes, and narrative evidence
12	Botanical Editorial Classicism	Ecosystems, long-horizon arguments, and reflective strategy
