Results to Slides

Discover experiments, collect images/metrics, organize into slides. You provide the story — this skill handles the grunt work. Output: slide markdown + editable PPTX.

Core Rules

1. State what was done and what the result was. Do not editorialize. Never use: "breakthrough", "key insight", "importantly". Just experiment + number.
2. Every slide MUST have a visual. No text-only slides (except pure tables). If a concept has no experiment images, create a diagram. If no diagram makes sense, show dataset examples.
3. Images first, text second. Plan images for each slide BEFORE writing bullets. If you can't find an image for a slide, restructure or merge it.

Parallel Execution

Maximize use of the Agent tool. Whenever you have 2+ independent tasks, launch parallel agents.

• Phase 1: Launch agents in parallel to read CLAUDE.md, README.md, memory files
• Phase 2 (biggest win): Launch separate agents for git log, output folders, scripts, media
• Phase 3: Launch agents in parallel to read different experiment scripts and output folders
• Phase 5+6: Sequential (markdown must be written before converting)

Phase 0: Parse Arguments & Setup

The user provides: /results-to-slides START_DATE END_DATE

Arguments come as $ARGUMENTS containing two MMDD date strings (e.g., 0301 0308).

Parse the dates:

• $0 = start date (MMDD), $1 = end date (MMDD)
• Infer year from system date. End date is INCLUSIVE (use end_date + 1 for find bounds)

If no arguments provided, use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Date range"
• question: "What date range? Use MMDD MMDD format (e.g., 0301 0308)."
• options: ["Last week", "Last 2 weeks", "Last month"]
