Build or adapt the talk deck outline

Turns an accepted abstract and underlying point of view into a structured slide-by-slide deck outline — narrative arc, key claims per slide, and the close.

In / outAccepted abstract + underlying POV → slide-by-slide deck outline with narrative arc and key claims

You might say…

I got the slot confirmed and then stared at a blank deck for a week — this gives me a spine to build from.

What it does

Turns the accepted abstract and underlying point of view into a structured slide-by-slide deck outline — narrative arc, key claims per slide, and the close — for a confirmed slot. Used after the slot is confirmed and before slide production. Single creative-judgement call, so a skill.

Trigger: Use after a talk slot is confirmed and the abstract is locked, before any slides are produced.
