A presentation, prompt by prompt

Help me plan a presentation before I open any slide software. I want a slide-by-slide outline in which each slide carries one message.

Topic: {{topic}}
Audience: {{audience}}
What I want them to think, decide or do afterward: {{goal}}
Time available: {{time_available}}
Setting: {{setting}}

My material (facts, data, notes, earlier documents):
"""
{{material}}
"""

Task:
1. Write the one sentence the audience should remember if they forget everything else, and build the outline backward from it.
2. Plan the slides. As a rule of thumb, allow one to two minutes per content slide, and keep about a fifth of the time for questions if there will be questions. Skip the agenda slide for talks under 10 minutes.
3. Put the main conclusion or recommendation near the start rather than saving it for the end, especially for senior audiences. Then the evidence, then the ask or next steps.

Format: a numbered table with the columns Slide, Headline, Supporting points, Evidence or visual, and Minutes. Each headline is a full sentence that states the slide's point, for example "Most delays start at the approval step" rather than "Approval process". Give two to four supporting points per slide, and suggest a visual only where it helps, such as a chart for a trend.

Under the table:
- Backup slides: up to 4 slides to hold in reserve for likely questions.
- Gaps: slides that need a fact or figure my material does not contain, each marked "[Needs: ...]".

Rules: Use only facts and numbers from my material. Do not invent statistics, quotes or examples to make a slide stronger; mark the gap instead. Keep to one idea per slide. The Minutes column must add up to no more than the time available. Read in order, the headlines alone should read as the whole argument.

If the goal or the audience is too vague to decide what comes first, ask me one question before writing the outline.

Rewrite the titles of the slides below so each one states that slide's point, not just its topic. The deck is for {{audience}}, and its overall message is: {{deck_message}}

Slides (the current title, then the content of each slide):
"""
{{slides}}
"""

What a good title looks like:
- A full sentence that gives the takeaway, for example "Customer churn" becomes "Churn fell after we changed the onboarding calls".
- Twelve words or fewer, so it fits on one or two lines.
- Supported by what is on that slide. A title must not claim more than the slide shows, and it keeps any hedge in the content, such as "early results" or "estimated".
- Uses the specific number or name when that is the point, copied exactly from the slide.

Keep the title slide, agenda, section dividers and appendix headers as short labels; they do not need a point.

Format:
1. A table with the columns Slide, Current title, New title, and Note. Use the Note column when a slide has no clear point, makes two points (suggest splitting it), or seems to contradict another slide.
2. The story in titles: the new titles listed in order, with nothing else. Read alone, they should read as the argument of the deck. Below the list, in up to 3 bullets, point out any gap in the argument, a point made twice, or a slide that seems out of order.

Do not change the slide content itself, add facts that are not on the slide, or add marketing language. If a slide's content is too thin to support any takeaway, do not guess at one: write "No clear point" in the New title column and explain in the Note.

Turn the document below into slides for {{audience}}. The deck has to fit {{deck_size}} and serve this purpose: {{purpose}}.

Document:
"""
{{document}}
"""

How to build it:
- Do not simply follow the document's section order. Open with the conclusion or main finding, then the evidence, then implications and next steps, in the order this audience needs them.
- One message per slide. The headline is a full sentence of 12 words or fewer that states the point, for example "Returns fell after the packaging change" instead of "Returns".
- Three to five bullets per slide, each under 12 words. Copy numbers exactly, with the units, dates and sources the document gives.
- Where a slide compares numbers or shows a trend, suggest a visual in one line, such as "Bar chart: returns by quarter".
- Speaker notes of 60 to 120 words per slide, in plain spoken language, carrying the detail the bullets leave out.
- Read in order, the headlines alone should read as a summary of the document's argument.

Format each slide like this:
Slide [number]
Headline: ...
Bullets: ...
Visual: ... (or "None")
Speaker notes: ...

After the slides, add:
- Appendix: material that did not make the main deck but that someone might ask about, with the section of the document it comes from.
- Check before presenting: numbers without dates or sources, statements the document contradicts elsewhere, and anything that looks out of date.

Use only what the document says. Do not add outside facts, round numbers differently, or turn a tentative finding such as "early results suggest" into a firm one. If the document has more than the deck can hold, keep what serves the purpose and list the rest in the Appendix. If it does not support a clear conclusion, say so in the first slide's speaker notes rather than inventing one.

You help people build presentation slides from data. Each slide makes one point, states it in the title and shows only the data that supports it. You never change or round numbers beyond what the data shows.

<data>
{{data}}
</data>

<context>
Presentation and audience: {{audience}}
The point I think this data makes: {{intended_point}}
Time I have for this slide: {{time_on_slide}}
Slide tool and template limits (title length, fonts, colors): {{tool}}
</context>

<rules>
- The title is a full sentence that states the takeaway in under 15 words, for example "Support tickets fell by a fifth after the new help center launched". That example shows the form only.
- Every number on the slide and in the title comes from the data above, with its unit and period.
- Choose the chart type that makes the point clearest and say why in one sentence. Prefer a simple bar or line chart; avoid 3D charts and pie charts with more than four slices.
- Remove what does not support the point: extra series, gridlines, legends that direct labels can replace, and decimals the audience does not need.
- Highlight the one bar, line or row that carries the point, and gray out the rest.
</rules>

<task>
Using the data above, design one slide for {{audience}}, so that they get the point within five seconds of the slide appearing. Return:
1. Slide title.
2. Chart: the type, what goes on each axis, which series or rows to keep, which to highlight, and the labels to show.
3. One supporting line under the chart, under 20 words, only if the title needs a qualifier such as the sample size or the time period.
4. Speaker notes: what to say in {{time_on_slide}}, in two to four sentences.
5. Changes from the original chart, as a short bulleted list.

A good slide is one where someone who reads only the title still leaves with the right point. Check that the data actually supports my intended point; if it does not, or only partly does, say so first and suggest the title the data does support. If the data has gaps, mixed periods or units I have not explained, list them before the slide and do not fill them in.
</task>

Write speaker notes for the deck below so I can give the talk in my own words and finish on time.

Talk length: {{talk_length}}
Audience: {{audience}}
How I speak: {{speaking_style}}

The slides, in order (the text on each slide, plus anything I want to be sure to say):
"""
{{slides}}
"""

How to write the notes:
- Budget the words. Most people speak at 120 to 150 words a minute, so plan on about 130 words for each minute of talking, minus a minute or two for transitions. Give more words to the slides that carry the main points and fewer to title, section and closing slides.
- Write for speaking, not reading: short sentences, contractions, and plain signposts such as "Here is the number that matters". Match how I said I speak.
- Do not read the slide back. The notes should add what the slide leaves out: why the point matters to this audience, the example behind it, or the "so what".
- Open each slide's notes with a one-line bridge from the previous slide, so the talk flows.

Format for each slide:
Slide [number]: [slide title]
Time: [minutes for this slide] (running total: [minutes])
Say: the notes, as a short script
Key line: the one sentence to land if I forget the rest

Use only facts and figures that appear on the slides or in what I pasted. Where a story or example from my own experience would help, write "[Add your example: ...]" instead of inventing one. The script should sound like a confident person talking to colleagues, not like a written report.

At the end, list any slide that tries to say too much for its time, and say what to cut or move to a backup slide. If the deck cannot fit the talk length even with short notes, say so first and suggest which slides to drop.

<deck>
{{deck_text}}
</deck>

<context>
Audience: {{audience}}
What I want them to decide or do: {{goal}}
Time slot: {{time_slot}}
How it will be shown: {{setting}}
</context>

Review the deck above before I present it. I want honest notes rather than praise, because the audience will be less forgiving than you. A good review is one I can act on in an afternoon: specific fixes, not general advice about slide design.

Check, in this order:
1. Storyline: whether the main point or recommendation is clear by slide 3, whether each slide follows from the one before, and whether the ask is stated plainly near the end.
2. Each slide: one message, a title that states the point, text that can be read in the time the slide is on screen, and charts or tables that support the title.
3. Consistency: numbers, names, dates and terms that differ between slides, and figures that do not add up.
4. Fit: slides to cut or move to an appendix so the talk fits the time slot, at roughly one to two minutes per content slide.

Format the review as:
- A verdict in three sentences: the strongest part, the biggest problem, and the single change that would help most.
- A table with the columns Slide, Problem, Suggested fix, Priority (must fix, should fix, nice to have). Up to 20 rows, must-fix rows first.
- Inconsistent numbers, each listed with the slide numbers where each version appears.

<example>
The form of one row only, with invented figures: 7 | Title "Q3 results" does not say what happened | "Q3 sales rose 8 percent, led by renewals", if that is what the chart shows | must fix
</example>

Work only from the text above. Do not add facts, figures or claims in the suggested fixes; where a fix needs information I have not given, put the gap in square brackets. If a slide's content is unclear from the text alone, for example a chart that came through as an image placeholder, say so rather than guessing what it shows.

Help me prepare for the questions I will get after my presentation. I am presenting to {{audience}}, and what I need from them is {{ask}}. I want to walk in having already heard the hardest questions, with short, honest answers ready.

My presentation (slides, script or summary):
"""
{{presentation}}
"""

Facts and figures I can use in answers, beyond what is in the presentation:
"""
{{backup_facts}}
"""

What I know about this audience (priorities, worries, past objections): {{audience_notes}}

Give me:
1. Questions: 10 to 12 that this audience is likely to ask, most likely first. Include the uncomfortable ones about cost, risk, timing, what happens if it fails and why not an alternative, because those derail a presentation when they go unanswered. After each, say in brackets who in the audience would ask it and why, in under 15 words.
2. Answers: one for each question, under 60 words, in spoken style, starting with the direct answer and then the one fact that supports it, taken from the presentation or the facts above.
3. Weak spots: up to 5 places where the presentation invites a question it cannot answer yet, each with what I could add or check before the day.

Format: number the questions, and put each answer directly under its question so I can rehearse them in pairs.

A good answer sounds like someone who knows the material and is not defensive. For example, the form of one item: "Q: Why not wait until next quarter? [Finance lead: budget timing] A: Waiting would cost us the spring intake. The pilot showed..."

Do not invent figures, results, dates or commitments to make an answer sound stronger, because I would be held to them in the room. Where the honest answer is not in my material, write "Not in your material:" followed by what I would need to find out, and suggest a truthful holding line such as "I will check that and come back to you". If part of the presentation text is unclear or seems incomplete, say which part and work from what is there.

Turn the slide deck below into a written {{document_type}}, for {{audience}}, so that someone who never saw the presentation can read it on their own and understand the argument, the evidence and what is being asked of them. Slides rely on a presenter to connect the points; the document has to do that connecting in full sentences.

Slide text, with speaker notes if there are any, slide by slide:
"""
{{slides}}
"""

What the charts and tables on the slides show, if the text above does not include it:
"""
{{chart_descriptions}}
"""

Length: {{length}}
Decision or action the readers need to take, if any: {{ask}}

Write it like this:
1. A summary of three to five sentences at the top: the main point, the key evidence and the ask.
2. The body in prose, organized by the argument rather than slide by slide. Merge slides that make one point, and turn bullet fragments into sentences that say how each point leads to the next.
3. Short headings where the topic changes, written as statements, for example "Returns fell after the sizing guide launched" rather than "Returns". That example shows the form only.
4. Numbers from the charts written into the text with their period and unit, and a table only where several figures need comparing.
5. The ask or next steps at the end, with owners and dates if the deck gives them.

Leave out agenda slides, section dividers and "thank you" or "questions" slides. A good result reads as if it had been written as a document from the start, and every claim in it can be traced to a slide.

Do not add facts, figures, causes or recommendations that are not in the slides or speaker notes, and do not turn a bullet into a stronger claim than it makes. Where a slide is too terse to turn into a sentence without guessing its meaning, such as a bullet that reads only "Q3 risk", write the closest faithful sentence, mark it [CHECK: slide number], and list all such places at the end. If a chart is mentioned but not described, write [CHART ON SLIDE number: what it shows] instead of inventing its numbers.
