Prompt library

I need to present [topic] to [audience]. Here is how they will receive it: [when they see it, whether they read it alone or hear it live, and who else needs it later]. Recommend one of three formats: a spoken deck, a document read alone, or both. Explain the choice in three sentences, using only what I told you. If you need more information about the audience, ask me before you recommend. Do not write any slides yet.

Here is the text of my draft slides:

[paste slide text]

For each slide, split the text into two parts. Part one stays on the slide: one claim sentence and at most a few key words. Part two goes in the speaker notes: everything I would say aloud. Keep my wording and my numbers exactly. Do not add facts or numbers. If a slide has no clear claim, write [TBD: claim] in part one.

Turn these notes into an outline for a two-page memo that [reader] will read alone before the meeting:

[paste notes]

Put the recommendation and the ask in the first paragraph. Then give the evidence, then the risks, then what happens next. Use only the facts and numbers in my notes. Do not invent any figure. Mark every gap as [TBD].

I am preparing a deck for [audience] about [topic]. Before any slides, interview me to find the one sentence this deck must prove. Ask one question at a time about the decision I want, its cost or scope, and the result it should achieve. Then write the sentence and 3 to 5 supporting points. Use only facts I give you. Mark anything I have not confirmed as [TBD].

Here is my one sentence:

[paste sentence]

Here are my notes:

[paste notes]

Write a four-line SCQA opening: situation, complication, question, answer. The answer must be my one sentence, unchanged. Keep the situation to one sentence. Use only numbers from my notes. Do not invent any figure. If the complication needs a number I have not given, write [TBD].

Here are the first two slides, or the first paragraph, of my deck:

[paste]

Act as a senior executive who has five minutes. Tell me what decision you think I want, what it costs and why it matters. If you cannot tell any of those three things, say which is missing. Do not rewrite my text.

Here is my one sentence:

[paste sentence]

Here are my slide titles and the main content of each slide:

[paste titles and content]

Rewrite each title as an action title: one full sentence that states the claim the slide proves, in two lines or fewer. Use only facts and numbers that appear in my content. If a slide has no claim it can support, write [TBD: no claim] instead of inventing one.

Here are my slide titles in order:

[paste titles]

Read them as one paragraph. Does the sequence make a complete argument for this sentence: [paste one sentence]? List any title that is a topic label, any step that is missing, any titles that repeat, and any title that holds two claims. Do not rewrite the titles and do not add facts. List the problems only.

Here is my action title:

[paste title]

Here is the data that supports it, with its source:

[paste table or numbers, and where they came from]

Recommend one chart that proves the title. Prefer bars or points on a shared baseline, or a line for change over time. Avoid pie charts and 3D effects. Use only these numbers and add none. Write a source line to go under the chart. If the data does not prove the title, say so.

Here is the text of my deck, slide by slide:

[paste deck text]

List every number, claim and comparison. For each one, say whether the slide shows a source. Mark anything without a source as [TBD: source]. Flag any figure that looks like an estimate but is not labeled as one. Do not fix, round or replace any number.

Here is one slide. Title: [paste title]. Body: [paste content].

List anything on it that does not help prove the title: decoration, side facts, or text that repeats what I will say. Suggest at most three key words to keep beside the chart. Say whether each remaining item should move to the speaker notes or the appendix. Do not add new content.

Here is my deck, slide by slide, with titles, body text and chart labels:

[paste your slide text, or attach the deck as a PDF]

Check it for AI tells in three groups.
Structure: one layout repeated on most slides; a title over three equal cards with icons; every slide given the same weight; centered, mirrored layouts on every slide.
Surface: default fonts; default color schemes such as a purple gradient on white; accent bars with small all-caps labels; an italic phrase ending a title; icons or stock 3D images that carry no information.
Claims: titles that name a topic instead of stating a claim; bullets that restate the obvious; numbers with no source; round numbers in stat tiles.
For each tell, give the slide number, the group and what you saw. Do not rewrite the slides. Do not guess whether AI made the deck. If you cannot see the visual design from what I gave you, say which checks you could not run.

Here is the text of my slides:

[paste your slide text]

Here are my sources:

[paste or attach your sources]

List every number, date and named fact on the slides. For each one, quote the line in my sources that supports it, or write "no source found". Mark any figure that is an estimate or a forecast, and say whether the slide labels it as one. Do not invent sources. Do not correct any number yourself.

Before any slides, ask me questions about my audience, one at a time: who decides, what they already know, what they will object to, and how long I have. When I have answered, write the one sentence this deck must prove, then 3 to 5 supporting points. Use only facts I give you. Mark any gap as [TBD]. Do not build slides yet.

Here is my argument:

[paste your one sentence and supporting points]

Here is my layout inventory:

[paste each layout name, what it is for, and its placeholders]

Write a slide brief. For each slide give an action title that states the conclusion in one full sentence, 2 to 3 points, the data needed, and the layout from my inventory. No paragraphs. Use only facts in my argument. Mark missing data as [TBD]. Do not build slides yet.

Use only this template’s layouts, fonts and colors. Use one font weight per text level. No italic flourishes. One background color. At most two accent colors: [name your accent colors]. No icons, accent bars or stock 3D images unless they carry information. Every slide must fit inside the slide area at the template’s font sizes. If content does not fit, stop and propose a split. Do not shrink the text. Use only numbers from files I attach. Make native, editable charts, one chart per claim, with the source under each chart. Do not add numbers.

I have attached my deck as a PDF and my sources.

[attach the PDF or slide images, and your sources]

Review this deck as a skeptical executive. List slides with topic-label titles, equal-weight layouts, unsourced claims, or decoration that carries no information. Also list any text that runs past the slide edge, overlaps other content, or is cut off. For each problem, give the slide number and what you saw. Do not rewrite the slides. Do not add facts. If you cannot see the rendered slides, say so and stop.

Here is the text of my slides and speaker notes:

[paste your slide text and notes]

List every technical term, abbreviation, number and named fact. For each one, write the question someone in the room could ask about it. Do not answer the questions for me. Do not suggest new content.

Here are my slide titles in order:

[paste your titles]

Read them as one paragraph. Tell me where the argument has a gap, where two titles make the same claim, and where a title names a topic instead of stating a claim. Then list which slides I could leave out of a five-minute version without losing the ask. Do not add claims of your own.
