Python Packages:
Start with Style: Add frontmatter to markdown with desired brand style
Less is More: Aim for 1 slide per minute of presentation time
Image Quality Matters: Use high-res images (min 1920x1080, prefer 4K)
Test Animations: Preview deck to ensure transitions feel professional
Print-Ready: Design also works for PDF export (animations become static)
Accessibility: Maintain 4.5:1 contrast ratio for text readability
Issue: Colors don't match brand exactly Solution: Specify exact hex codes in frontmatter:
Issue: Too much animation Solution: Set animation level in frontmatter:
Issue: Slides too dense Solution: Follow "6x6 rule" - max 6 bullets, max 6 words per bullet. Claude will auto-split content if needed.
