What problem does it solve? Planning a slide deck's content (audience, message, slide order, per-slide drafts, critique) is often skipped in favor of jumping straight into slide software, producing decks with topic-noun headlines, bullet dumps, and no clear ask. This Skill structures that content-design work end to end. Note: this unit is deprecated and superseded by presentations:designing-presentations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-phase content design: intake (audience brief), message architecture (SCQA plus answer-first pyramid), storyboard, per-slide drafts with YAML front-matter, and a critique panel, each writing its own artifact. - Audit mode: run only the Phase 5 heuristic audit and three critic personas (audience, argument, visual-and-accessibility) against an existing deck.md. - Deterministic quality gates: a heuristic checklist enforces sentence headlines, sourced evidence slides, specific decision asks, single-comparison charts, slide-count bands, and alt-text, with a two-iteration CRITICAL gate. - Use Case: Ask for a 20-minute executive briefing on a budget approval; the Skill produces audience-brief.md, message-architecture.md, storyboard.md, deck.md, and audit-report.md in a working directory, ready to hand off to a rendering tool. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to design the content of a 20-minute executive briefing deck for your topic and let it run the five presentation phases.
