Slide Building

Slide Building

Presentation structure, page planning, and visual direction — not research, long-form writing, or layout implementation.

USE FOR

• Creating or improving presentations, pitch decks, and talk decks
• Designing outlines, throughlines, and page count estimates
• Optimizing page types, information density, and visual rhythm
• Converting materials into presentation-ready structures

DO NOT USE FOR

• Insufficient source material → research skill first
• Too much raw material → bulk-digest skill first
• Writing reports, papers, or long documents
• Typst/PPTX/PDF layout implementation

Execution Skeleton

1. Confirm audience, medium, duration, and objective.
2. Define a one-sentence throughline, then break into 3–5 parts with a page plan.
3. For each page define type, takeaway, evidence, and layout.
4. Delegate to audience review or visual polish agents when needed.
5. For implementation, hand off to a layout skill or generator.
