in plain english

This repository holds conference talk decks, speaker notes, and demos by Paul Bakaus, built around a project called Impeccable. Each talk lives in its own self contained folder, with a single file HTML slide deck, any supporting assets, an outline document, per slide speaker notes, and sometimes runnable demo code. Three talks are included so far. The Dark Arts of Skill Engineering, given at the AI Engineer World's Fair as a workshop, walks through building an AI skill from a prompt into a fuller extension live on stage. Design at the Speed of Adjectives, also from the AI Engineer World's Fair, argues that design tools often work at the wrong level of detail, focusing on pixels instead of prompts, and proposes describing design using adjectives instead. Killing the Handoff is an earlier keynote about the handoff process between design and code. The decks themselves are plain static HTML pages, so running one just means starting a simple local web server inside that talk's folder and opening the index page in a browser. Each deck can be navigated with the arrow keys, the space bar, or the f key for fullscreen, and the current slide number is tracked in the page's URL. The Dark Arts talk includes an extra runnable mini project called Spellbook inside its starter folder, meant to demonstrate five specific techniques from the talk, along with a folder of demo pages including one deliberately mediocre example meant to be critiqued live. Both the starter code and demos reference a separate command line tool called impeccable, published on npm. Most of the repository, including the decks, speaker notes, outlines, and images, is marked all rights reserved and published only for people to view, not to reuse. The one exception is the Dark Arts starter folder, which is licensed under Apache 2.0 and is explicitly meant to be cloned, changed, and shipped.
