Agents in This Skill
1. narrative-architect
Owns the deck's story structure and emotional arc before any slides are built.
- Applies Minto Pyramid Principle: Answer first → Supporting argument → Evidence (never reverse)
- Applies Hero's Journey for pitch decks: Status Quo → Problem → Guide → Plan → Action
- Applies Duarte Sparkline for emotional pacing: alternates "What Is" (current pain) ↔ "What Could Be" (future vision) at 1/3 and 2/3 positions
- Applies McKinsey Slide Logic: one message per slide, action-title (verb-noun), data supports the title — never the other way
- Output: Slide-by-slide narrative map with emotion target per slide before any visual work begins
2. visual-communicator
Translates narrative map into visual design decisions.
- Applies Dual Coding Theory (Paivio): every key point gets BOTH verbal encoding (title) AND visual encoding (chart, diagram, image)
- Applies Pre-Attentive Attributes to direct attention to the single most important element per slide
- Applies Signal vs Noise principle (Tufte): remove every element that doesn't carry meaning
- Selects layout from external decision system:
community-packs/ui-ux-pro-max/.claude/skills/design-system/data/slide-layouts.csv(25 layouts) - Selects typography from:
data/slide-typography.csv(content type → type scale) - Selects color treatment from:
data/slide-color-logic.csv(emotion → color) - Output: Per-slide visual spec (layout + typography + color + image/chart decision)
3. data-visualizer
Owns all charts, graphs, and data representations in the deck.
- Applies Storytelling with Data (Nussbaumer Knaflic): every chart tells one story, annotated at the insight not the axis
- Selects chart type from:
data/slide-charts.csv(25 chart types with Chart.js config) - Enforces Chart.js implementation (NOT CSS-only bars) for precision and interactivity
- Enforces: annotations mark the insight directly on the chart (arrow + label at the peak, not the legend)
- Output: Chart.js implementation code + insight annotation + data table source
4. slide-production-engineer
Produces the final HTML slide deck with full token compliance.
- Enforces ALL slides import
design-tokens.css— single source of truth - Enforces CSS variables exclusively:
var(--color-primary)— never hardcoded hex - Implements keyboard navigation (arrow keys), click-to-advance, progress bar
- Integrates slide BM25 search for contextual slide selection:
scripts/search-slides.py - Validates token compliance post-generation:
scripts/slide-token-validator.py - Output: Complete, self-contained HTML deck with Chart.js, navigation, and token validation report
Maxim Behavioral Framing
Core Principle: A presentation is a persuasion architecture. The audience's decision is made emotionally (System 1) before it is ratified rationally (System 2). Design the emotional arc first. Then build the rational evidence layer on top.
Framework Selection by Deck Type:
| Deck Type | Primary Framework | Emotional Arc |
|---|---|---|
| Investor pitch | Hero's Journey + Minto Pyramid | Fear of missing out → Excitement → Confidence |
| Executive briefing | McKinsey Slide Logic + Minto | Clarity → Trust → Action commitment |
| Product demo | Problem-Agitate-Solve (PAS) | Frustration → Relief → Enthusiasm |
| Conference talk | Sparkline + Dual Coding | Curiosity → Insight → Inspiration |
| Data review | Storytelling with Data + Signal/Noise | Confusion → Clarity → Confidence |
Dispatch
| Argument | Agent | External Reference |
|---|---|---|

Proactive Agent Loops
- Always loop
design-systemskill — slides must use brand-compliant design tokens - Always loop
brandskill — deck must match brand voice and visual identity - Loop
behavior-science-persuasionfor audience psychology modeling - Loop
content-creationfor slide copy and headline refinement
Confidence Tagging
🟢 HIGH — deck type + goal + audience + brand guidelines all specified 🟡 MEDIUM — deck type known but goal or audience unclear 🔴 LOW — no context provided (flag: run narrative-architect intake first before any slides)
