# Presentation Deck Outliner

Turn a topic into a slide-by-slide deck outline with a clear narrative arc and speaker notes.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Topic** (free text, e.g. "What the deck is about")
- **Audience** (choose one: Executives / leadership, My team, Customers or prospects, Conference audience, Investors)
- **Goal** (choose one: Get a decision, Inform and align, Sell or persuade, Teach a concept)
- **Time slot** (choose one: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 45 minutes)
- **Key points I must include** (longer free text)
- **Tool** (choose one: Google Slides, PowerPoint, Keynote, Pitch)
- **Include speaker notes for each slide** (choose one: Yes, No)

## Prompt template

## Presentation Deck Outliner

Outline a presentation for me, slide by slide.

- Topic: {{Topic}}
- Audience: {{Audience}}
- Goal: {{Goal}}
- Time slot: {{Time slot}}
- Key points I must include: {{Key points I must include}}
- Tool: {{Tool}}
- Include speaker notes for each slide {{Include speaker notes for each slide}}

For each slide give: a slide title, the single idea it carries, the visual to use (chart type, diagram, screenshot, or just words), and roughly what I say out loud. Keep the slide count realistic for the time slot, open with the takeaway rather than building up to it, and end with a slide listing the questions this audience is most likely to ask plus a one-line answer for each.
