# 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)
