Presenter Notes

Q: How do I know the Presenter Notes output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: No slide's notes exceed cue grain except the earned verbatim set; Every transition is captured verbatim; Numbers carry their exact caveats; Timing marks and pre-decided skips exist.

Write presenter notes that actually help mid-talk — cue-grain phrases instead of scripts, the transitions and numbers that deserve verbatim capture, the timing marks that keep the talk on schedule, and the Q&A crib built in. Use when asked write my speaker notes, I either script everything or wing it, what goes in the notes pane, or I keep running over time. Produces the notes at cue grain, the verbatim-worthy lines, the timing marks, and the Q&A crib.

What to give it

▸The deck — notes attach to real slides; headline-titled decks ([deck-outline-first](../deck-outline-first/SKILL.md)) half-write their own cues

▸The time slot and the stakes — a 10-minute board readout gets tighter marks than a 45-minute training; high-stakes talks earn more verbatim capture

▸The presenter's failure mode, honestly — over-scripts and reads? Wings it and rambles? Freezes on numbers? The notes design compensates for the actual person

▸The hard questions expected — the crib is built from real anticipated Q&A, not generic

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓No slide's notes exceed cue grain except the earned verbatim set

✓Every transition is captured verbatim

✓Numbers carry their exact caveats

✓Timing marks and pre-decided skips exist

✓One full rehearsal ran from these notes and updated them

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not script the talk — the room hears reading instantly, and forgives it never

Do not paraphrase transitions live — the thread sentences are load-bearing; that's why they're verbatim

Do not improvise cuts when behind — the pre-decided skips exist because live cutting amputates the argument

Do not walk in without the crib — Q&A is the half of the talk you don't control; the crib is its notes

Do not treat notes as private scaffolding exempt from rehearsal — unrehearsed notes fail exactly when needed, which is their only job
