SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating effective slide decks that tell a clear story is time-consuming and error-prone when converting memos or outlines into presentation-ready slides. This skill enforces a storyboard-driven approach, template fidelity, and disciplined slide construction to save time and improve consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Storyboard first: write one takeaway per slide and map to a single narrative arc.
  • Template-driven: anchor the team's PowerPoint template and discuss supported layouts to ensure brand consistency.
  • One-slide-per-takeaway: produce concise, structured slides and include a dedicated appendix for deep dives.
  • Speaker notes: attach notes to each content slide to guide presenters.
  • Data visuals: link charts from Excel rather than pasting static images to maintain data integrity.
  • Verify & rehearse: ensure numbers, logos, and data are correct; rehearse within the time box.
  • Use cases: QBRs, steerco updates, board pre-reads, all-hands, and memo-to-deck conversions.

Quick Start

Storyboard the deck by writing 6–10 takeaway titles as full sentences, then ask Copilot to build one slide per takeaway against the template.
