## Part 1: RevealJS Foundation

### 1.1 Required Configuration

Always initialize RevealJS with these settings:

```javascript
Reveal.initialize({
  hash: true,
  center: true,
  transition: 'fade',
  transitionSpeed: 'fast',
  backgroundTransition: 'fade',
  width: 1920,
  height: 1080,
  margin: 0.08,
  minScale: 0.2,
  maxScale: 2.0
});
```

**Why these values:**
- `center: true` — Let RevealJS handle vertical centering. Do not fight this with flexbox on sections.
- `width: 1920, height: 1080` — Standard HD ratio. Content scales automatically.
- `margin: 0.08` — Provides breathing room at viewport edges.
- `transition: 'fade'` — Professional, non-distracting. Avoid 'zoom', 'convex', etc.

### 1.2 Base HTML Structure

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>[PRESENTATION TITLE]</title>
  
  <!-- RevealJS -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/reveal.js/4.6.1/reveal.min.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/reveal.js/4.6.1/theme/white.min.css">
  
  <!-- Fonts -->

  <style>
    /* Theme variables and styles go here */
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="reveal">
    <div class="slides">
      <!-- Slides go here -->
    </div>
  </div>
  
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/reveal.js/4.6.1/reveal.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    Reveal.initialize({
      hash: true,
      center: true,
      transition: 'fade',
      transitionSpeed: 'fast',
      backgroundTransition: 'fade',
      width: 1920,
      height: 1080,
      margin: 0.08,
      minScale: 0.2,
      maxScale: 2.0
    });
  </script>
</body>
</html>
```

### 1.3 Base CSS Reset

Apply these styles to normalize RevealJS behavior:

```css
/* === RESET & NORMALIZATION === */
.reveal {
  font-family: var(--font-body);
  font-weight: 400;
  color: var(--text-primary);
}

.reveal .slides section {
  text-align: left;
  padding: 60px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.reveal .slides section.centered {
  text-align: center;
}

.reveal h1, .reveal h2, .reveal h3, .reveal h4 {
  font-family: var(--font-display);
  font-weight: 700;
  color: var(--text-primary);
  text-transform: none;
  letter-spacing: -0.02em;
  line-height: 1.1;
  margin: 0 0 0.5em 0;
}

.reveal p {
  margin: 0 0 1em 0;
  line-height: 1.5;
}

.reveal ul, .reveal ol {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style-position: outside;
  margin-left: 1.5em;
}

.reveal li {
  margin-bottom: 0.5em;
  line-height: 1.4;
}
```

## Part 2: Theme Selection

**Themes are complete specifications.** Before generating any slides, read the appropriate theme file from the `themes/` directory. Themes control both visual styling AND content strategy.

### 2.1 What Themes Control

Each theme file specifies:

1. **CSS Variables** — Colors, typography sizes, spacing, fonts
2. **Typography Application** — How CSS variables apply to elements
3. **Word Limits** — Maximum words per slide type
4. **Slide Type Preferences** — Which types to prefer, use sparingly, or avoid
5. **Content Rhythm** — Impact vs information slide ratios
6. **Structure Rules** — Max bullets, card counts, splitting guidance

### 2.2 Default Theme

Use `themes/bold.md` unless the user specifies otherwise.

### 2.3 How to Apply a Theme

1. Read the entire theme file before generating slides
2. Follow the theme's **Content Strategy** section for word limits and slide type choices
3. Include all CSS from the theme's variables and typography sections
4. Combine with the base CSS reset from Part 1.3

### 2.4 Available Themes

| Theme | File | Content Approach |
|-------|------|------------------|
| Bold | `themes/bold.md` | Minimal words, dramatic impact, simple structures, 40%+ impact slides |
| Corporate | `themes/corporate.md` | Information-dense, detailed content, complex structures allowed |

Future themes may include `minimal.md` (clean, understated design).

## Part 3: Core Components

### 3.1 The Bar (Accent Element)

A horizontal bar used as a visual anchor and section indicator.

```css
.bar {
  width: var(--bar-width);
  height: var(--bar-height);
  background: var(--accent-1);
  margin-bottom: var(--space-md);
}

.bar-accent-2 { background: var(--accent-2); }
.bar-accent-3 { background: var(--accent-3); }
.bar-accent-4 { background: var(--accent-4); }

.centered .bar {
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}
```

**Usage:**
```html
<div class="bar"></div>
<h2>Section Title</h2>
```

### 3.2 Content Container

For slides that need width constraint:

```css
.content-wrap {
  max-width: var(--content-max-width);
  width: 100%;
}

.centered .content-wrap {
  margin: 0 auto;
}
```

### 3.3 Card Component

```css
.card {
  background: var(--bg-secondary);
  border-radius: var(--card-radius);
  padding: var(--card-padding);
  border-left: 4px solid var(--accent-1);
}

.card-accent-2 { border-left-color: var(--accent-2); }
.card-accent-3 { border-left-color: var(--accent-3); }
.card-accent-4 { border-left-color: var(--accent-4); }

.card h3 {
  font-size: var(--size-h4);
  margin-bottom: var(--space-xs);
}

.card p {
  font-size: var(--size-body);
  color: var(--text-secondary);
  margin: 0;
}
```

### 3.4 Grid Layouts

```css
.grid-2 {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
  gap: var(--space-lg);
}

.grid-3 {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  gap: var(--space-md);
}

.grid-4 {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  gap: var(--space-md);
}

/* For uneven splits */
.grid-2-1 {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr;
  gap: var(--space-lg);
}

.grid-1-2 {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr;
  gap: var(--space-lg);
}
```

### 3.5 Slide Footer

A persistent footer element for branding or context. Placed outside the slides container.

```css
.slide-footer {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 30px;
  left: var(--slide-padding);
  font-size: var(--size-label);
  font-weight: 500;
  letter-spacing: 0.05em;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  color: var(--text-muted);
  z-index: 1000;
}

/* Adapt for dark backgrounds */
section[data-background-color] .slide-footer,
.dark-slide .slide-footer {
  color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
}
```

**HTML placement** (before the reveal div):
```html
<body>
  <div class="slide-footer">Company Name | Presentation Title</div>
  <div class="reveal">
    ...
  </div>
</body>
```

**When to use:** Corporate presentations, conference talks, any context where persistent branding helps.
**Mistakes:** Too much information, large font size, distracting from content.

## Part 4: Slide Types

Each slide type includes: HTML structure, when to use, and common mistakes.

### 4.1 Title Slide

The opening slide. Sets tone and context.

```html
<section class="centered">
  <p class="label">Category or Context</p>
  <h1>Presentation Title</h1>
  <div class="bar"></div>
  <p class="lead">Subtitle or tagline goes here</p>
</section>
```

**When to use:** Opening slide only.  
**Mistakes:** Too much text, including agenda, adding logos/footer clutter.

### 4.2 Section Break

Transitions between major sect
