Presentation

Contents: Ideal State · Intent Routing · Data & Config · Gotchas · Examples

Talks, the slides behind them, and sales pitches, in three modes.

  • Lecture mode is a talk the speaker reads aloud from start to finish. The text is the content and the slides are there for pacing: a new slide every 15 to 30 seconds keeps the room watching, and each visual either supports the sentence being read or stays quiet. The source is a talk file (READ.md or SCRIPT.md); the deck is Keynote or HTML and is regenerated from it.

  • Deck mode is a deck where the slides carry the argument and the speaker glances at short cues. One claim per slide, the archetype chosen from the content, built as an HTML deck on the install's template and served with speaker view.

  • Pitch mode turns product documentation into a sales pitch: a first-person value story a buyer can retell, talking points, an elevator pitch, and for a full package a charcoal sketch (Intents/Pitch.md, which absorbed the retired Sales skill).

Pick lecture mode when the speaker says they will read it, or hands over a talk file or dictation to turn into a talk. Pick deck mode for "make me a deck on X". Pick pitch mode for a sales pitch, narrative or package. When it is unclear, ask once.
