Guided discovery for new presentations when there is no brief, notes, or source material yet. Asks structured questions one at a time to establish audience, format, tone, takeaway, and narrative direction, then produces a brief that feeds into brief-to-presentation-plan.
Converts a brief, notes, transcript, document, or mixed source material into a presentation plan and saves it to the project's `docs/specs/` folder. Use when the input is messy or incomplete and you need to extract audience, goal, theme, narrative arc, section flow, and slide intent before building a deck.
Reviews a presentation deck for story consistency, pacing, structure, and audience fit, then proposes or applies concrete improvements. Use when a deck draft exists and you need to identify what is weak, confusing, redundant, or missing and update it accordingly.
Converts an approved presentation plan into a concrete presentation deck. Use when you already know the audience, through-line, and slide flow and now need to produce slide structure, layout decisions, reveal order, animation, and implementation-ready deck content.
Adds themed GIFs to selected slides in an existing deck. Use when a deck draft exists and the user wants to inject humor or energy with GIFs — picks a deck-wide theme (e.g. Matrix, Pixar, Office), lets the user choose which slides get a GIF, searches Giphy, and offers 3 options per slide.
Turns numeric results, improvements, and comparisons into bold visual treatments instead of inline prose. Use on any slide that contains a number representing a result, change, gain, loss, target, or benchmark — bars, gauges, hero numbers, before/after panels, delta callouts, with a reason label explaining why the number moved.

Use this skill when the user wants to create a presentation but only has a topic or rough idea — no written brief, notes, transcript, or document yet. The job here is to run a guided discovery conversation and produce a brief, not to plan the deck.
Canonical slide rules: load ../_shared/slide-philosophy.md. The brief must set the four-pillar expectation (one thought, ≤1 body sentence besides graphics/labels/titles, visual-first, forward motion at 10–35 s/slide) for the rest of the pipeline.
Skip when: the user already has a brief, notes, transcript, or document — go directly to brief-to-presentation-plan.
../_shared/slide-philosophy.md: one main thought (one plain sentence, no "and"), minimum text (≤1 sentence besides graphics/labels/titles), visual-first, forward motion (10–35 s/slide, default to step reveals).| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| A | Internal team or colleagues |
| B | Stakeholders / leadership — buy-in, funding, decision |
| C | Conference or meetup — broad, external |
| D | Client or customer — persuasion, sales |
| E | Educational — workshop, training, onboarding |
Pace target: 10–35 seconds per slide. The presenter advances; they do not dwell. If a chosen slide count puts the average above ~35 s/slide, push back and split.
| Option | Description | Slide estimate |
|---|---|---|
| A | Lightning talk (5–7 min) | ~15–25 slides |
| B | Standard talk (20–25 min) | ~50–80 slides |
| C | Full session (40–45 min) | ~90–140 slides |
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| A | Provocative / confrontational — challenges the audience |
| B | Empathetic / journey — "we've all been there" |
| C | Show-don't-tell / demonstration — the medium proves the message |
| D | Analytical / data-driven — evidence-first |
| E | Storytelling / narrative arc — characters, tension, resolution |
Recommendation logic:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| A | Awareness / inspiration only |
| B | Awareness + a specific tool or project to try |
| C | Awareness + actionable principles to apply immediately |
| D | A decision or approval to proceed |
No fixed options. Generate 2–3 approaches tailored to the combination of answers 1–4. Each gets:
End with a recommendation + reasoning.
| Option | Best when |
|---|---|
A — Reveal.js (CDN, single index.html, no build) — default | Most talks. Works with nothing installed |
| B — Slidev | Code demos, developer audience, MDX workflow |
| C — Custom HTML/CSS/JS | Unconventional interactions Reveal cannot express |
| D — PowerPoint / Keynote | Corporate, non-technical audience, required native file |
| E — Undecided | Decide during deck build |
Default recommendation: A. Pick another option only if a concrete requirement rules it out. See presentation-plan-to-deck → references/simple-reveal-deck.md for the default stack.
After all questions are answered, produce a brief using this structure:
# Presentation brief
## Topic
[What the presentation is about]
## Audience
[Who, what they know, what they care about]
## Format
[Length, slide estimate, setting]
## Tone
[Chosen tone and what it means for this talk]
## Takeaway
[What the audience walks away with]
## Narrative approach
[How the story flows open to close]
## Implementation framework
[Chosen tech or TBD]
## Slide philosophy
[Four pillars from `skills/_shared/slide-philosophy.md`: one main thought (one plain sentence, no "and"); ≤1 body sentence on the slide besides graphics/labels/titles; visual-first (graphs, pictures, diagrams, screenshots, demos, spatial comparisons); forward motion (default to step reveals; 10–35 s/slide; every slide hints at what comes next)]
## Raw context
[Additional details / constraints from discovery]
Present the brief for review. On approval, hand off to brief-to-presentation-plan.
../_shared/slide-philosophy.md. The forward-motion pillar (10–35 s/slide, default to reveals, named transitions) is non-optional.Once the brief is approved, hand off to brief-to-presentation-plan to turn it into a presentation plan.
