SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Frame the process of planning and delivering scientific talks to ensure a coherent narrative, checkpointed artifacts, and collaborative refinement, reducing ad hoc slide creation and misaligned messaging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Four-stage workflow (Frame → Storyline → Slide draft → Slides) with explicit checkpoints to earn prerequisites before moving forward.
  • ABT-driven framing and data-dive data structures to anchor a single, defensible core message and coherent arc.
  • Artifact-driven collaboration: prompts, templates, and references that enable teammates to review Frame, Storyline, slides, and rehearsal notes.
  • Use Case: a researcher preparing a conference talk can structure the entire deck from Frame through rehearsal in a guided, reviewable process.

Quick Start

Begin by answering the Frame prompts to define audience, goal, core message, and prerequisite knowledge, then proceed through Storyline and Slide stages.

Frequently Asked Questions about presentation-planning

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a scientific talk using the ABT narrative framework?

Structure a scientific talk by defining an ABT (And, But, Therefore) core message, then progressing through Frame, Storyline, slide draft, and rehearsal stages with explicit checkpoints to ensure a coherent narrative arc.

What is the best way to plan conference presentation slides collaboratively?

Plan conference presentation slides collaboratively by using artifact-driven prompts and templates that enable teammates to review the Frame, Storyline, and Marp slide drafts at each workflow checkpoint before moving forward.

How do I create presentation slides in Marp for a research defense?

Create Marp presentation slides for a research defense by first completing the Frame and Storyline stages to establish your core message, then using the staged artifact pipeline to generate the final slide draft and rehearsal notes.

Can I use this presentation planning workflow for lab meetings and seminars?

Yes, you can use this presentation planning workflow for lab meetings and seminars, as it applies to researchers preparing talks across various academic contexts including defense presentations and conference talks.

Why do I need to complete the Frame stage before building my presentation storyline?

You need to complete the Frame stage first because the four-stage workflow enforces stepping-stone prerequisites, requiring you to define audience, goal, and core message before earning the prerequisite to move forward to the Storyline stage.

Does this presentation planning workflow support data dives within the narrative arc?

Yes, the presentation planning workflow supports data dives by utilizing ABT-driven framing and data-dive data structures to anchor a single, defensible core message and maintain a coherent narrative arc throughout the talk.
