Q-Presentations
Generate slide deck images from content with layout-driven overlay safety and smart logo branding. Built on baoyu-slide-deck.
If in plan mode: write a brief plan — "Run q-presentations skill: analyze content, confirm style/audience preferences, generate outline and prompts, generate slide images, overlay logo, merge to PPTX/PDF." — then exit plan mode immediately. Do NOT attempt content analysis, image generation, or file merging while plan mode is active.

Core Principles
- Each slide self-explanatory (designed for reading and sharing, not only presenting)
- Flow clear in scroll view; context present on each slide
- Consistent style across the full deck
- Never include photorealistic images of prominent individuals
- Never include placeholder slides for author/date metadata
Style System
16 presets available (default: blueprint). Full specs in references/dimensions/presets.md and references/styles/*.md.
