A deck has two readers: the room, and the person standing up to talk from it. This
release stops Slide Sage from serving only the first one.
Upgrade
- Existing
npx skills addinstallations should run
npx skills add rhnfzl/slide-sageagain to receive this release. - Manual
git cloneusers should pullv2.2.0and keep their agent pointed at
skills/slide-sage/SKILL.md. - Nothing you have already generated needs regenerating. This release changes what
the skill asks before it builds the next deck.
Fixed
- Presenter mode is no longer opt-in. It ships whenever the deck has speaker notes.
The skill was previously told never to ask about presenter mode AND to load it
only on explicit request, so notes shipped inside a<script id="speaker-notes">
block that the presenter could not open while presenting. The recall material was
in the file and invisible to the one person who needed it. - Delivery now says "Press P for your notes" out loud whenever a deck ships notes.
A presenter who does not know the notes are there gets no value from them.
Added
- Intake asks two questions when the prompt does not answer them, because neither
can be inferred from the audience. A leadership deck can be diagram-led or
text-rich, and the same deck can be presented or forwarded.- "Will you present this live, send it to be read on its own, or both?" decides
where the context lives.presentandbothkeep the slide clean and put the
recall material in notes;sendfolds that context onto the slide face,
because nobody is there to explain it. - "Diagram-led, balanced, or text-rich?" decides how much prose sits beside the
visual.
- "Will you present this live, send it to be read on its own, or both?" decides
- Density scales the Phase 4 slide limits instead of one fixed shape, from
diagram-led(the visual plus at most three lines) throughbalancedto
text-rich(the reason and the caveat on the slide face). It never relaxes the
100vh rule; content that does not fit still splits. - Delivery states the reader and density the deck was built at, so a wrong call
costs one line of feedback rather than a rebuild. - Pre-delivery Check 6 fails a deck that ships speaker notes with no way to open
them.
Changed
- The reasoning is written into the rule, because the next agent meets the same
temptation: terse and dense are both wrong when guessed, and guessing
overcorrects. A deck stripped to diagrams starves the presenter of anything to
recall from; a padded one walls off the room. "Too much text last time" does not
meandiagram-ledthis time, it means reader and density were never separated.
