Generate Professional Presentations and Carousels

Generates 16:9 presentation slides and square 1:1 LinkedIn carousels using python-pptx, with 16+ professional layouts, batch generation to prevent token limits, and tight integration with brand system files. It enforces visual-first layout selection (using cards, stats, columns, and visual layouts instead of defaulting to text), maintains layout variety across presentations, and prevents common rendering issues like white backgrounds or duplicate titles.

Once a brand is configured (via Brand & Voice Generator), work through these phases: 1. Brand Discovery - Read your brand.json and tone-of-voice.md files. 2. Layout Selection - Read all cookbook layout frontmatters to understand what each layout is best for and when to avoid it. 3. Slide Planning - Create a table listing all slides with layout, title, and content, checking for variety and logical flow. 4. Content Adaptation - Apply brand colors and voice to each slide. 5. Batch Generation - Generate maximum 5 slides per batch, validate each batch before continuing. 6. Output - Save to your configured output directory, combine batches if needed, clean up part files. Output: One final .pptx file (presentations) or .pptx + .pdf (carousels for LinkedIn).

Requires python-pptx 1.0.2 and Python 3.11+. All color values from brand.json are hex without # prefix. Critical bug fix: Every slide must have background.fill.solid() and fore_color.rgb set explicitly, or dark-themed brands will render with white backgrounds. When combining multiple batches, backgrounds must be set on each new slide immediately after creation. LibreOffice required for carousel PDF export (libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf).
