Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
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.
Variables
- {{audience}}
- Who will see the deck, for example "the regional managers".
- {{deck_message}}
- The one thing the deck should leave people believing or deciding.
- {{slides}}
- Each slide's current title followed by its text or a short description of its chart. Mark where each slide starts.
Why it works
- What good looks like. A good title is defined precisely: a sentence, twelve words or fewer, and supported by the slide, so the rewrite does not overclaim.
- Format. Listing the new titles on their own tests whether the deck tells its story from headlines alone, the check experienced presenters make.
- If unsure. A slide with no clear point is marked as such instead of getting a confident title it cannot back up.
