Summary
Deck script intermediate artifacts. The deck-builder agent now uses a two-pass workflow: Pass 1 writes a markdown deck script capturing content and visual direction per slide, Pass 2 renders PPTX from the script.
What is New
- Deck scripts: Markdown intermediates written before PPTX rendering, with Content and Visual Direction per slide
- Two-pass workflow: Separates narrative decisions (Pass 1) from rendering (Pass 2)
- General deck script (deck-script.md) and prospect-specific scripts ({company}-deck-script.md) live alongside PPTX files
Why This Matters
- Reviewable -- verify framing and stats in markdown before rendering
- Iterable -- edit the script and re-render without re-extracting from research
- Portable -- deck scripts can feed other formats (Google Slides, Keynote, HTML)
- Debuggable -- isolate content issues from rendering issues
No Breaking Changes
All existing pipeline behavior unchanged. Deck scripts are additional outputs alongside existing PPTX files.
