Quarto PPTX Creator
This skill guides you through transforming raw "materials" into a logical, educational presentation for self-study.
Workflow
Follow these steps to create a high-quality presentation:
- Analyze Materials: Read and categorize all provided documents, images, videos (transcripts/descriptions), and links. Identify key theoretical concepts and practical applications.
- Draft Syllabus: Create a teaching outline that moves from "Theory" (Concepts, Why, How it works) to "Practice" (Setup, Code, Exercise).
- Refine with User: Present the syllabus to the user. Iterate based on their feedback until the logic and depth are approved.
- Generate Content: Write the detailed educational content into a Quarto (
.qmd) file.- Use the 16:9 Revealjs format (which exports to PPTX).
- Ensure a "Self-Study" flow: clear explanations, visual aids (diagrams), and actionable steps.
- Final Review: Provide the final
.qmdfile and instructions on how to render it.
