Prompt

I want to introduce a new mathematical notation symbol $\tilde{\beta}$ for the bias-corrected estimator on slide 8. What step must be performed regarding the course notation registry before writing this symbol into the slide?

What was checked, without and with the skill
Checked	Without skill	With skill
Checks proposed mathematical symbols against the established course notation registry	Missed	Passed
Updates the notation registry in the knowledge base with new symbols	Missed	Passed

Lecture Creation Workflow

Create a beautiful, pedagogically excellent Beamer lecture deck.

This is a collaborative, iterative process. The instructor drives the vision; Claude is a thinking partner.

CONSTRAINTS (Non-Negotiable)

Read the knowledge base FIRST — notation registry, narrative arc, applications database
Every new symbol MUST be checked against the notation registry
Motivation before formalism — no exceptions
Worked example within 2 slides of every definition
Max 2 colored boxes per slide
No \pause or overlay commands (check project rules)
Transition slides at major conceptual pivots
Thread at least 1 running empirical application throughout
All citations verified against the bibliography
Work in batches of 5-10 slides — share for feedback, don't bulk-dump

WORKFLOW

Phase 0: Intake & Context

Read knowledge base and creation guide
Inventory provided materials (papers, slides, code)
Read previous lecture's structure and ending
State pedagogical goal, get user confirmation

Phase 1: Paper Analysis (When Papers Provided)

Split into chunks, extract key ideas
Map paper notation → course notation
Identify slide-worthy content
Present summary for approval

Phase 2: Structure Proposal

Propose outline (5-Act or 3-Part template)
List TikZ diagrams and R figures needed
