Talk Stage 4: Position + CHECKPOINT

Generates strategic angles, titles, descriptions, and a peer-feedback draft. Then stops and waits for your angle + title choice before Stage 5 can proceed.

When to Use This Skill

• After Stage 3 (Concepts), which provides the concept catalogue
• When deciding how to frame the talk
• Before sending the CFP (uses the generated descriptions directly)

What This Skill Does

1. Reads inputs: summary + concepts + event constraints
2. Generates angles: 3-4 distinct angles with strength/weakness analysis
3. Recommends: one clear choice with structured justification
4. Generates titles: 3-5 options per angle
5. Generates descriptions: short abstract + long CFP description
6. Generates feedback draft: ready-to-send message (3 formats)
7. CHECKPOINT: displays choice request and waits for user response
8. Saves 4 files

Input

• talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-summary.md (required)
• talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-concepts.md (required)
• Event constraints: duration, audience, CFP format if applicable

Output

• talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-angles.md
• talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-titre.md
• talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-descriptions.md
• talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-feedback-draft.md

# Talk Angles: {provisional title}

**Goal**: Choose the angle that maximizes impact for {audience}.
**Audience**: {audience description}

---

## Angle 1: {Angle name}

**Pitch**: {2-3 sentences describing the talk from this angle}

**Strengths**:
- {strength 1}
- {strength 2}

**Weaknesses**:
- {weakness 1}
- {weakness 2}

**Audience fit**: Strong / Medium / Weak ({short justification})

**Verdict**: (out of 5 stars)

---

[Angle 2, Angle 3, (optional Angle 4): same structure]

---

## Recommendation: Angle {X}, enriched by the others

**Angle {X} is the right choice.** Here's why:

### 1. It's the only angle that integrates the others
[Structure showing how other angles feed into the main one]

### 2. The narrative arc is natural and compelling
[Why the story holds better with this angle]

### 3. The metrics lend credibility throughout
[Which metrics support this angle most]

### 4. The final message emerges naturally
[How the conclusion flows from this angle]

## Recommended structure with sub-angles

| Act | Duration | Main angle | Integrated sub-angle |
|-----|----------|-----------|---------------------|
| 1. {name} | {n} min | {main angle} | {sub-angle} |
