# Visual Audit of Slide Deck

Perform a thorough visual layout audit of a slide deck.

## Steps

1. **Read the slide file** specified in `$ARGUMENTS`

2. **For Quarto (.qmd) files:**
   - Render with `quarto render Quarto/$ARGUMENTS`
   - Open in browser to inspect each slide

3. **For Beamer (.tex) files:**
   - Compile and check for overfull hbox warnings

4. **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

5. **Produce a report** organized by slide with severity and recommendations

6. **Follow the spacing-first principle:**
   1. Reduce vertical spacing with negative margins
   2. Consolidate lists
   3. Move displayed equations inline
   4. Reduce image/SVG size
   5. Last resort: font size reduction (never below 0.85em)
