Presentation Workflow

This skill provides a structured workflow for creating and managing slide presentations, from initial concept to final delivery and version control.

Core Principles

  • Governance First: All presentation artifacts are version-controlled and auditable.
  • Proof Over Promise: Slides are built on verifiable data and evidence.
  • Quiet Execution: The process is automated and efficient, speaking through the quality of the output.

Workflow Phases

This skill follows a five-phase workflow:

  1. Initialization: Create the slide deck structure.
  2. Content Generation: Create the individual slides.
  3. Speaker Notes: Generate the presentation script.
  4. Final Presentation: Assemble and present the final deck.
  5. Version Control: Commit all artifacts to Git.

Phase 1: Initialization

Use slide_initialize to create the project structure and outline. If the user provides a detailed outline, use it. Otherwise, create a standard structure:

  • Title Slide
  • Problem Statement
  • Proposed Solution
  • Architecture/​Methodology
  • Key Features/​Differentiators
  • Market/​Use Cases
  • Financials/​Projections (if applicable)
  • Next Steps/​Call to Action

Phase 2: Content Generation

Use slide_edit to create each slide. Adhere to the following principles:

  • Visual Consistency: Maintain a consistent design language (colors, fonts, layout).
  • Data-Driven: Use charts and tables to present data. Never fabricate information.
  • Stark & Minimal: Focus on clarity and impact. Avoid decorative elements.

Phase 3: Speaker Notes

Use slide_edit_notes to generate the presentation script. The notes should be:

  • Concise: Under 200 words per slide.
  • Authoritative: Clear, direct, and confident.
  • Structured: Use talking points for natural delivery.

Phase 4: Final Presentation

Use slide_present to assemble the final slide deck. This tool generates the final output and provides the presentation link.

Phase 5: Version Control

Use the shell tool to commit all presentation artifacts to a Git repository. This includes:

  • The presentation project directory
  • The final presentation notes (slide_notes.md)
  • Any supporting assets (images, data files)

Create a new, separate repository for each presentation project to maintain modularity and a clean history.

Bundled Resources

  • templates/: Contains a slide_template.html for consistent slide design.
  • scripts/: Includes a git_push.sh script to automate the version control process.
