What it does
Convert markdown content into a structured storyboard CSV for slide decks, video scripts, or any sequential visual media. Use when the user wants to plan a presentation, break down an article into slides, create a shot list, or generate a scene-by-scene outline from text. Triggers: "plan slides", "create storyboard", "break this into slides", "plan presentation", "outline this as a deck", "article to slides", "text to storyboard".
Markdown to Storyboard
Convert any markdown text into a structured storyboard CSV, the universal handoff format for downstream tools (slide builders, video editors, image generators).
Workflow
1. Analyze the Source Markdown
Read the markdown and identify:
- Title and subtitle
- Section headings (H2/H3) → natural slide boundaries
- Key arguments / data points / quotes per section
- Narrative arc: setup → development → climax → conclusion
2. Ask User Preferences
Prompt for (defaults in parentheses):
- Slide count (auto: 8, 15 based on content length, ~1 slide per 150, 300 words)
- Audience (general)
- Tone (professional)
- Language (same as source)
If user declines to specify, use defaults and proceed.
3. Assign Slide Types and Layouts
Available slide_type values:
| Type | Purpose | Typical layout |
|---|---|---|
cover | Opening slide | full_bg |
toc | Table of contents (optional, 12+ slides) | center_text |
section | Chapter divider | center_text |
content | Core information | left_img_right_text or top_img_bottom_text |
quote | Key quote or statistic | full_bg |
data | Chart / number-driven | two_column |
summary | Closing recap | center_text or left_img_right_text |
end | Thank-you / Q&A / CTA | full_bg |
Available layout values:
full_bg, left_img_right_text, top_img_bottom_text, center_text, two_column
4. Write the Image Prompt for Each Slide
For each slide, write an image_prompt (English, regardless of content language) that:
- Describes a concrete scene, not an abstract concept
- Includes a style keyword consistent across all slides (e.g. "flat vector illustration, soft pastel palette")
- Specifies composition hints matching the layout (e.g. "wide shot, negative space on the right" for
left_img_right_text) - Cover and end slides get more dramatic / visually impactful prompts
