Workflow

Step 1: Parse Arguments

• Format (required): job-market | seminar | short | lightning
• Paper path (optional): defaults to docs/overleaf/_main.tex
• If no format specified, ask the user.

Format Constraints

Format	Slides	Duration	Content Scope
Job market	40-50	45-60 min	Full story, all results, mechanism, robustness
Seminar	25-35	30-45 min	Motivation, main result, 2 robustness, conclusion
Short	10-15	15 min	Question, method, key result, implication
Lightning	3-5	5 min	Hook, one result, so-what

Step 2: Launch Storyteller Agent

Delegate to the storyteller agent via Task tool:

Prompt: Create a [format] talk from [paper].
Read the paper (docs/overleaf/_main.tex) and extract:
  - Research question: causal effect of sewage spills on house prices and rents in England
  - Data: EDM (Event Duration Monitoring) spill records 2021-2024+, Land Registry prices, Zoopla rentals
  - Identification strategy: hedonic pricing, repeat sales, long-difference, DiD/event study
  - Spatial matching: spill sites within radius (250m–10km) linked to properties
  - Key treatment variables: spill_count, spill_hrs, n_spill_sites, min_dist
  - Main results and effect sizes (house prices and rents separately)
  - Robustness checks: upstream/downstream, dry spill placebo, rainfall controls
  - Institutional context: England's water companies, EDM permit system, regulatory failure
  - Key figures: output/figures/, docs/overleaf/figures/, docs/overleaf/maps/
Design narrative arc for [format] format.
Build Beamer .tex file with shared preamble if available.
Compile with XeLaTeX.
Save to docs/conferences/[format]_talk.tex
