Lecture Creation Workflow
Create a beautiful, pedagogically excellent Beamer lecture deck.
This is a collaborative, iterative process. The instructor drives the vision; Claude is a thinking partner.
CONSTRAINTS (Non-Negotiable)
- Read the knowledge base FIRST — notation registry, narrative arc, applications database
- Every new symbol MUST be checked against the notation registry
- Motivation before formalism — no exceptions
- Worked example within 2 slides of every definition
- Max 2 colored boxes per slide
- No
\pauseor overlay commands (check project rules) - Transition slides at major conceptual pivots
- Thread at least 1 running empirical application throughout
- All citations verified against the bibliography
- Work in batches of 5-10 slides — share for feedback, don't bulk-dump
WORKFLOW
Phase 0: Intake & Context
- Read knowledge base and creation guide
- Inventory provided materials (papers, slides, code)
- Read previous lecture's structure and ending
- State pedagogical goal, get user confirmation
Phase 1: Paper Analysis (When Papers Provided)
- Split into chunks, extract key ideas
- Map paper notation → course notation
- Identify slide-worthy content
- Present summary for approval
Phase 2: Structure Proposal
- Propose outline (5-Act or 3-Part template)
- List TikZ diagrams and R figures needed
- List new notation to introduce
- GATE: User approves before Phase 3
Phase 3: Draft Slides (Iterative)
- Work in batches of 5-10 slides
- Check notation, apply creation patterns
- Quality checks during drafting
Phase 4: Figures & Code
- R scripts following conventions
- TikZ diagrams in Beamer source (single source of truth)
- Save RDS for future Quarto integration
Phase 5: Polish & Compile
- Full 3-pass compilation
- Run Devil's Advocate
- Run Substance Review (if domain reviewer configured)
- Update knowledge base with new notation
