Read all drafts before building slide decks

context

Generating a slide deck that had to align with several pre-existing milestone draft documents.

thoughts

User-pasted chat summaries paraphrased the canonical drafts and omitted/renamed key items (e.g., one concept was Rights in the summary but Bodily Integrity in the actual docx). Always glob the working directory and read every related draft (PDF/DOCX) BEFORE composing content, not after. For .docx without markitdown installed, use soffice --headless --convert-to txt --outdir /tmp file.docx then cat the txt.

next time

Run a directory listing and ingest every relevant draft file as the first step; treat conversation paraphrases as supplementary.
