About build-presentation
An orchestrator for the Presentation Skill Suite that reads project state and routes work to the next incomplete phase. It handles sequencing and state checks while leaving phase-specific work to independently callable skills.
Key features
- 01Routes to the next incomplete phase
- 02Checks project state and exit criteria
- 03Supports Git checkpoint protocol
- 04Offers recovery for ambiguous or corrupt state
Use cases
- 01Finding the next step in a presentation project
- 02Resuming work from existing project artifacts

From the project READMEBuild Presentation (Orchestrator)
Coordinates the Presentation Skill Suite by routing from Project Folder state to the next valid action. It does not contain phase capabilities; each Phase Skill remains independently callable.
Output voice
Apply a lightweight human-voice pass to routing explanations, decision
summaries, and completion reports. Prefer concrete state and next actions,
preserve the user's requested tone, and leave Project Folder paths, commands,
and state names exact. Route every presentation-copy phase through its
required standalone unslop pass. The pass must use any editorial preferences
recorded in DISCOVERY.json.
Installation boundary
Install this Orchestrator with the complete Presentation Skill Suite. The suite distribution contract keeps each member independently usable after installation.
Startup
- Confirm the Project Folder is readable.
- If it exists, require
PROJECT.jsonwithprojectType: "presentation". - Read the Project Folder state and named artifacts directly.
- When state is ambiguous or corrupt, report the ambiguity and pause before mutation. Direct the user to inspect or repair the Project Folder.
When the Project Folder is Git-backed, load the conditional Git checkpoint protocol before invoking a Phase Skill.
Routing interface
Detect the first incomplete state in this order:
| State | Condition | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing started | PROJECT.json is missing | Offer discover-presentation |
| Discovery pending | Discovery is not done | Complete or redo discover-presentation |
| Structure pending | Discovery is done and Structure is not done | Offer structure-agenda |
| Generation pending | Structure is done and required presentation outputs are incomplete | Offer generate-slides |
| Media pending | A Media Spec exists and its owned media phase is not done or skipped | Offer the matching Media Renderer |
| Proofread pending | Presentation and required media are complete, Proofread is pending | Run proofread-presentation as the fourth phase |
| Complete | Proofread is done or skipped | Report completion and offer an explicit rerun path |
Use the detailed state-specific dialogue and recovery options in routing guidance only for the detected branch.
Before advancing from Discovery to Structure or Structure to Generation, verify the applicable Exit Criteria. Advance only after every condition passes and the user has chosen the next action where approval is required.
Sequential invocation
When the user chooses a next action, pass the Project Folder path to the selected
Skill. Each Skill reads DISCOVERY.json and PROJECT.json and owns its own
preflight, Restart Guard, writes, and completion rule.
After a successful Phase Skill invocation, apply the Git checkpoint protocol when enabled, then read state again before offering the next action. Preserve every unrelated phase record.
The supported sequence is:
discover-presentation → structure-agenda → generate-slides →
generate-images/diagrams → proofread-presentation
Media phases may be skipped or run independently when their Media Specs exist.
