Codex Slides Research

Codex Slides Research

The canonical codex-slides sibling skill owns the complete workflow. Use deep_research when MCP is available; otherwise run CLI command research at ../codex-slides/scripts/codex-slides.mjs. Preserve its Markdown and citations so the user can review or edit the evidence before slide generation.

For the default interactive workflow, first open the Codex Slides home screen in the Codex Browser, submit the research request there, and keep the created project visible while its research, outline, style, and render checkpoints advance. Use the lower-level sequence below only for CLI automation, recovery, or a user-requested headless workflow:

1. If a research workflow fits, call list_scenarios / CLI scenarios and pass the selected scenarioId into deep_research / CLI research with one to four rounds. This carries the scenario's evidence contract into the search brief.
2. Call create_outline / CLI outline with researchDoc set to the reviewed brief.
3. Revise the draft with revise_outline / CLI revise-outline when needed.
4. Call render_deck / CLI render only after the outline is accepted.
5. Call open_codex_slides / CLI open and navigate the returned project resource or URL in the in-editor Browser for visual verification.

For an explicitly requested unattended fast path, call create_deck with research: true. Do not claim a brief is source-backed when its returned Markdown has no source links.

For a durable outline revision or render that should survive navigation, use start_project_run, then retain and track its runId while the Browser remains on the matching checkpoint.
