# Beamer Deck Skill > Generate academic Beamer presentations with original themes, rhetoric-driven structure, and multi-agent review. Internalises Scott Cunningham's rhetoric framework and implements an adversarial review workflow. ## Purpose Create polished, zero-warning Beamer decks for academic contexts: seminars, conference talks, teaching lectures, and working decks for coauthors. Every deck gets a custom theme, assertion-driven titles, and parallel review by rhetoric and graphics sub-agents. **NOT for project status updates** — use `project-deck` for those. ## When to Use - Academic seminar presentations - Conference talks (15–45 min) - Teaching lectures (undergraduate or PhD) - Working decks for coauthors or supervisors - Any presentation that needs rhetoric discipline and visual quality --- ## Critical Rules 1. **Build artifacts go to `out/`, PDF stays in the source directory.** Use the `latex` pre-flight to install the fail-closed canonical `.latexmkrc`; never hand-write a partial config or copy block. Use `latex` for compilation and engine resolution. 2. **Python:** Always use `uv run python`. Never bare `python`, `python3`, `pip`, or `pip3`. 2. **Fix ALL warnings.** Overfull hbox, underfull hbox, overfull vbox, underfull vbox — no matter how small. Parse the `.log` file. Recompile until clean. 3. **Titles are assertions, not labels.** "Distance increases abortion rates" — not "Results". Every frame title states a claim. 4. **One idea per slide.** Not a gui...
