Workflow Decision Tree

New Presentation → Use presentation templates in assets/templates/ → Academic: academic-template.md → Technical: technical-template.md → Business: business-template.md

Existing Slidev Presentation → Add theme: neversink to frontmatter → Convert layouts using guidance in layouts.md

Specific Features → Code demonstrations: Use technical template with code highlighting → Interactive elements: Add components from components.md → Color theming: Apply schemes from colors.md → Advanced layouts: Use full layout with custom positioning
