Highlights
- Quality scoring system — automated rubric (start at 100, deduct per issue) with Excellent/Good/Needs Work/Poor thresholds
- No overlays — no
\pause,\onslide,\only. Uses multiple slides and color emphasis instead - Content density guards — upper bounds (7 bullets, 2 equations, 5 symbols per slide) and lower bounds (every slide earns its place)
- Box overflow detection — Beamer suppresses overflow warnings inside blocks; the skill catches them via visual audit
- Motivation before formalism — every concept starts with "Why?" before "What?"
- TikZ precision — mathematical accuracy enforced via
