Presentation Outline

Generate a structured presentation outline from a Google Doc to quickly transform topic documentation into a presentation-ready format.

How It Works

This skill takes a Google Doc containing information about a topic and transforms it into a presentation outline with the following structure per slide:

• Slide Title - The main topic or concept
• Slide Subtitle - Context or focus area (can be optional)
• Bullet Points - Supporting details (one subject per slide, 3-5 bullets)

The output is limited to a maximum of 10 slides for an optimal presentation length.

Process

• Provide a Google Doc - Share the URL or ID of a Google Doc containing the topic information
• Outline Generation - Claude extracts key concepts and organizes them into distinct slides
• Chat Display - The outline is displayed in the chat window for you to review and edit
• Refinement - Adjust titles, subtitles, or bullets as needed

Guidelines for Best Results

For detailed best practices on what makes an effective presentation outline, see references/guide.md. Key principles include:

• One topic per slide - Each slide focuses on a single main concept
• Concise titles - 3-8 words that clearly identify the slide topic
• Supporting bullets - 3-5 bullet points per slide that support the main topic
• Optimal length - 8-10 slides provides balanced pacing for a 20-30 minute presentation
• Logical flow - Clear progression from opening to conclusion

Output Format

The outline is displayed in markdown format in the chat with clear delineation between slides:

# Slide 1: [Title]
**Subtitle**: [Subtitle if applicable]
- Bullet point 1
- Bullet point 2
- Bullet point 3

# Slide 2: [Title]
**Subtitle**: [Subtitle if applicable]
- Bullet point 1
- Bullet point 2
- Bullet point 3

Tips

• Longer, more detailed source documents produce better outlines
• Ensure your Google Doc clearly separates different topics and concepts
• Review the generated outline and edit slide titles/bullets for your specific audience
• If the outline exceeds 10 slides, consider combining related slides or removing less critical content
