A planning guide for structuring a presentation as a clear story. It organizes slides into sections such as the problem, main ideas, and conclusion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to outline a new deck, choose section breaks, define key takeaways, and plan the order of slides.
Why use it?
It helps turn a topic into a presentation flow that is easy to follow and suitable for speaking rather than reading dense slides.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

presentation-outline scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Presentation Outline

Generate presentation structures following a proven flow pattern with bold, minimal slides designed for live presenting.

Core Principles

  • Slides are conversation starters, not scripts — each slide prompts discussion
  • Bold statements over explanations — headlines that land, not sentences that explain
  • Breathing room — fewer slides with more impact beats many dense slides
  • Clear sections — the audience should always know where they are
  • Section colors — each major section gets its own accent color to reinforce structure

Standard Flow

The base arc adapts to the content. A typical presentation follows 5-7 sections:

1. OPENING (color: teal)
   - Title slide (topic + subtitle)
   - Goals/agenda (3 key takeaways max)

2. CONTEXT / THE PROBLEM (color: red)
   - Current state / where we are today
   - The tension or question to resolve

3-5. CORE SECTIONS (colors: purple, amber, green, blue)
   - Section dividers between major topics
   - 3-5 content slides per section
   - Mix of statement, data, code, framework, and quote slides

6. CLOSING (color: teal)
   - Recap (one-liner per section)
   - Resources
   - Q&A

Sections can expand or contract — a complex topic might have 4 core sections, a focused talk might have 2.

Slide Types

Type When to use Example
Statement Land a key point "Speed is a feature"
Big statement Maximum impact, one idea "AI has no memory"
Question Create tension "What would we do differently?"
Section divider Signal topic shift "Where we play"
Goals Set expectations "Goals for today"
Data Prove with numbers "3x growth in 6 months"
Code Show implementation Syntax-highlighted code block
Framework Show a model or list Do's and don'ts, comparison
Quote Borrow authority "What got you here won't get you there"
Recap Summarize before close "Recap"
Resources Link references Grouped by section
Next steps Drive action "Where to from here?"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
