Troubleshooting

Slides Missing Product Screenshots

Issue: Generated slides use placeholder images instead of actual product screenshots.

Solution:

1. Add product screenshots to /assets/screenshots/product/
2. Reference specific features in prompt: “include dashboard screenshot showing rate limiting configuration”
3. Use --screenshots=/path/to/screenshots/ flag to specify custom directory
4. Manually replace placeholders in .pptx file after generation

Content Too Long

Issue: Slides have too much text, violating “max 6 bullets” rule.

Solution:

1. Add --concise flag for shorter bullet points
2. Specify in prompt: “keep slides minimal, max 5 words per bullet”
3. Edit .pptx file to condense text after generation
4. Use --speaker-notes to move details to notes section

Design Doesn’t Match Brand

Issue: Generated slides don’t use company brand colors/fonts.

Solution:

1. Create /assets/brand-guidelines.md with colors, fonts, logo
2. Use --theme=custom flag to apply brand guidelines
3. Provide brand kit files in /assets/brand/ (logo.png, colors.json)
4. Manually apply company PowerPoint template after generation

Charts/Graphs Not Generated

Issue: Data visualization slides missing charts.

Solution:

1. Provide data in prompt: “Q4 revenue $500K, Q1$750K, Q2 $1.2M”
2. Attach CSV data file: /slide:create @outline.md --data=metrics.csv
3. Use simpler chart types (bar, line instead of complex sankey/sunburst)
4. Manually add charts to .pptx using embedded Excel data table
