Deck Outline First

Category: Growth & Marketing  ·  Sub-category: growth-misc  ·  Last updated:
Outline a deck as headline sentences before opening the slide tool — each slide a claim that reads as an argument top to bottom, the audience-and-ask header, and the skim test that catches broken decks while they're still bullet points. Use when asked start this presentation, structure my deck, why does my deck feel like a data tour, or get sign-off before I build slides. Produces the headline outline, the per-slide evidence notes, the skim test result, and the build rules.

From the source SKILL.md

Decks built slide-first inherit the tool's failure mode: hours of formatting sunk into slides whose argument was never designed, discovered broken in rehearsal (or worse, in the room). The outline-first discipline is [outline-before-prose](../outline-before-prose/SKILL.md) for the slide medium: every slide is one headline sentence — a claim, not a topic ("Churn concentrates in month two" not "Churn Analysis") — the headlines read in sequence as the complete argument, and the skim test (read only the headlines — does the case hold?) runs before any slideware opens. Slides then become evidence…
