Visual Audit of Slide Deck

Perform a thorough visual layout audit of a slide deck.

Steps

Read the slide file specified in $ARGUMENTS

For Quarto (.qmd) files:

• Render with quarto render Quarto/$ARGUMENTS

• Open in browser to inspect each slide

For Beamer (.tex) files:

• Compile and check for overfull hbox warnings

Audit every slide for:

OVERFLOW: Content exceeding slide boundaries FONT CONSISTENCY: Inline font-size overrides, inconsistent sizes BOX FATIGUE: 2+ colored boxes on one slide, wrong box types SPACING: Missing negative margins, missing fig-align LAYOUT: Missing transitions, missing framing sentences, semantic colors

Produce a report organized by slide with severity and recommendations

Follow the spacing-first principle:

• Reduce vertical spacing with negative margins

• Consolidate lists

• Move displayed equations inline

• Reduce image/SVG size

• Last resort: font size reduction (never below 0.85em)
