Talksmith is a Presenter Agent that helps a human presenter turn raw exploration — articles, papers, LLM chat sessions, screenshots, notes — into a well-structured presentation outline (`master.md`), and optionally renders it to PowerPoint. It is **not** a slide generator.
Agent
Read-only batch reviewer that audits draft.md against the Talk's thesis, audience, corpus, design principles, and learnings. Returns a punch-list of [blocker]/[major]/[minor] critiques. Dispatch at every Step-4 drafting milestone (scope=thesis, agenda, section:N, full). Never writes.
Agent
Blind visual critic for one rendered diagram. Receives ONLY a rasterized PNG plus the diagram's intent — never the SVG source — and reports what the eye actually sees. Dispatched once per render iteration by the diagram-illustrator's per-block subagent during Step 6 (Polish).
Agent
Step 6 (Polish) coordinator for the ASCII -> SVG pass. Walks final.md via the talksmith:polish-ascii skill, dispatches talksmith:ascii-to-svg once per render-driving block (sliding window of 5), has each render reviewed by a blind diagram-critic subagent, stamps the renders so unchanged blocks skip next pass, and…
Agent
Sole writer of draft.md (Steps 1-5), final.md (Step 6 onward), and memory.md for the active Talk. Dispatch to capture briefings, write thesis/agenda/sections/slides, apply feedback bullets, produce final.md in Polish, promote learnings, and update memory.md at step closures.
Agent
Cross-Talk curator of the shared knowledge-library/ at the user's working directory root. Sole writer to knowledge-library/. Dispatch at Step 8 (Learnings) when the presenter chooses to promote a just-finalized Talk - curates research/corpus/, final.md, and images/ into topic folders rather than 1-to-1 copying.
Agent
Step 6 (Polish) coordinator for the generated-aside pass. Walks final.md via the talksmith:polish-images skill, extracts each directive (description + side + context) to a sidecar, dispatches the tool-agnostic talksmith:generate-image skill once per directive to produce an atmospheric aside image, folds in the deck…
Agent
Lossless restructuring of raw source material (PDFs, HTML, chat ZIPs, captured web pages) into uniform Markdown records under research/corpus/. Active during Step 3 (Corpus) of the Talksmith workflow, and whenever new sources are added later. Dispatch with the active Talk folder path and optional flags (processimages…
Agent
Independent critic for ONE slide's template classification. Receives the slide's source markdown, the template the FILL step chose, and its choice trace — never the rest of the deck's choices — re-runs the catalog's discriminator walk from scratch, and confirms or proposes a re-classification citing the catalog rule.…
