1# Paper-to-PPTX — Router
2 
3## Routing protocol
4 
5For an edit to an existing deck, reuse its paper source, narrative, terminology, and assets.
6Change the requested slides and any affected cross-slide references; do not rerun paper intake
7or rebuild the deck's story unless the request requires it. Inspect changed slides and run the
8existing final PPTX audit before delivery. A requested outline or explanation alone does not
9require creating a deck.
10 
11For a new task, load the core and matching resources below. Reuse already loaded guidance on follow-ups; load more only when the task needs it.
12 
13### 1. Load the manifest and the core layer
14 
15Read [manifest.yaml](manifest.yaml). It declares the `paper_type` axis, the allowed values, and the file paths each value maps to.
16 
17Also read every file listed under `always_load`. These hold the purpose and core principle, the lean operating mode and toolchain policy, the 9-step workflow spine, and the output/quality rules that apply to every deck, plus the shared Terminology Ledger used to keep technical terms consistent across slides.

19### 2. Classify the paper type
20 
21Decide the `paper_type` value using the manifest's `detect:` hint and the source:
22 
23- `discovery` — discovery / mechanism papers (question-to-evidence arc). Default.
24- `methods` — methods / AI / tool / algorithm papers (problem-to-solution arc).
25- `resource` — resource / dataset / atlas / omics / benchmark papers (workflow-to-validation arc).
