Presentation Spec

Presentation Spec

Create detailed slide-by-slide specification for a class presentation.

Frontmatter

context: main
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, AskUserQuestion

Prerequisites

• lesson-plan-{topic}.md must exist and pass Gate 1
• master-presentation-spec.md must exist
• Topic must be specified in invocation

Instructions

You are creating a detailed specification for presentation slides. This document serves as the blueprint for implementation.

Usage

/presentation-spec {topic}

Step 1: Review Prerequisites

Read these files:

• lesson-plan-{topic}.md - Objectives and activities to support
• master-presentation-spec.md - Design constraints and patterns
• research/research-{topic}.md - Visualization patterns and content

Extract:

• Learning objectives to achieve
• Lesson sequence to follow
• Visualization patterns to implement
• Design constraints to follow

Step 2: Map Objectives to Slides

Create a mapping showing how slides will support each objective:

Every objective must have supporting slides.

Step 3: Plan Slide Sequence

Determine the overall flow:

1. Title slide: Class number, topic, theme
2. Agenda/Overview: What we'll cover
3. Hook: Attention-grabbing opening
4. Content slides: Main instruction
5. Activity slides: Practice moments
6. Summary: Key takeaways
7. Appendix: Reference material

Step 4: Specify Each Slide

For each slide, document:

• Number and title
• Slide type (from master spec)
• Purpose (what it accomplishes)
• Content: Exact text, bullets, or visual
• Speaker notes: What instructor says
• Timing: How long to spend
• Interaction: Click-through, questions, etc.

Step 5: Specify Visualizations

For any slide with D3 or complex visuals:

• Visualization name
• Type: Chart, diagram, animation
• Data structure: What data it uses
• Interaction model: Click, hover, scroll
• Animation sequence: What animates when
• Technical notes: Implementation hints

Step 6: Plan Interactions

Mark points where students engage:

• Discussion questions
• Poll/survey moments
• Think-pair-share
• Practice exercises
• Reflection pauses

Step 7: Write Presentation Spec

Create src/pages/class-{n}-{topic}/presentation-spec-{topic}.md:

# Presentation Spec: {Topic Title}

Class: {N}
Duration: {minutes} minutes
Theme: {Theme name} ({color})
Total Slides: {count}

## Objective Coverage Matrix

| # | Objective | Supporting Slides |
|---|-----------|-------------------|

## Slide Sequence Overview

| # | Title | Type | Time | Purpose |
|---|-------|------|------|---------|
| 1 | {title} | title | 1 min | Opening |
| 2 | {title} | content | 2 min | Agenda |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |

Gate 2 Checklist:

• Every objective has supporting slides
• Complex concepts have visualization specs
• Interaction points are marked
• Slide flow supports learning progression
• Times sum to class duration

## Gate 2 Checklist

After creating the spec, verify:

- [ ] Every learning objective has at least one supporting slide
- [ ] Complex concepts have D3/visualization specs
- [ ] Interaction points (questions, activities) are marked
- [ ] Slide flow supports logical learning progression
- [ ] Time estimates per slide sum to class duration
- [ ] All content sources are cited
- [ ] Visualization specs include font size requirements

## Examples

### Example: Visualization Spec

```markdown
### Slide 6: Market Sizing Funnel

**Type**: slide-visual
**Time**: 5 minutes
**Purpose**: Visualize TAM → SAM → SOM progression

**Visualization Spec**:

**Name**: tam-sam-som-funnel
**Type**: D3 animated funnel

**Data Structure**:
```json
{
  "levels": [
    { "name": "TAM", "value": 50000000000, "label": "Total Addressable Market" },
    { "name": "SAM", "value": 5000000000, "label": "Serviceable Available Market" },
    { "name": "SOM", "value": 500000000, "label": "Serviceable Obtainable Market" }
  ]
}

Visual Description: Three nested trapezoids, widest at top (TAM), narrowing to SOM. Each level has label on left, dollar value on right. Background gets progressively darker/more saturated toward SOM.

Animation Sequence:

1. Initial: Empty container
2. Click 1: TAM trapezoid fades in (800ms ease-out)
3. Click 2: SAM slides up from bottom, nested inside TAM
4. Click 3: SOM slides up, nested inside SAM
5. Final: All three visible with values

Interaction:

• Hover on level: Shows full description tooltip
• Click level: Highlights and shows calculation

Technical Requirements:

• viewBox="0 0 600 400"
• Labels: 1.25rem, Inter font
• Values: 1.5rem, bold
• Colors: theme-1-customer with 80%, 60%, 40% opacity
