Assemble a coherent USC Beamer talk from the reusable Yue Zhao intro module and one or more existing paper decks in this repo. Use when the user wants a merged deck with light bridge slides, trimmed duplicate wrappers, and one throughline, without regenerating each paper talk from scratch.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Deck Assembler

Read [references/assembly-patterns.md](./references/assembly-patterns.md) first.
Read [references/continuity-checks.md](./references/continuity-checks.md) before finalizing any merged deck.

This skill assembles a combined talk from existing slide assets in this repo. It is for stitching and continuity, not for generating new paper decks from `papers/`, and not for rewriting each paper's technical content from scratch.

When more than one paper talk is merged, default to a long-form combined talk unless the user explicitly asks for a tighter or shorter merged deck.

## Workspace Contract

This skill is repo-specific. Treat these paths as relative to the workspace root:

- `README.md`
- `theme/`
- `templates/`
- `decks/`

Before generating anything, verify that the workspace contains at least:

- `README.md`
- `templates/demo.tex`
- `templates/paper-deck-base.tex`
- `theme/beamerthemeuscmoloch.sty`
- at least one existing `decks/<paper-slug>/<paper-slug>-deck.tex`

Useful optional sources:

- `templates/modules/yzhao-intro-slides.tex`
- `templates/modules/yzhao-intro-facts.md`
- `decks/<paper-slug>/presenter-map.md`
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yzhao062/agent-config/deck-assembler@sha256:578dbc8f6bf2e511

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260402.7b2dc4a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
