Workshop Slides

Load Context First

Before executing this skill, read the following files from the project folder if they exist:

1. USER.md — who the user is, how they think, how they work
2. BUSINESS.md — their business, products, positioning, brand voice, content strategy
3. ICP.md — their ideal customer, their language, their fears, what makes them buy
4. Voice or brand voice skill — look for any installed skill related to voice, tone, or brand voice and apply it automatically
5. Any additional context provided by the user in this session

Use all context silently. Do not reference or summarize files unless asked.

Workshop Slides Builder

Purpose: Create a teaching-focused slide deck for workshops and training sessions. Unlike pitch decks (which persuade) or presentations (which inform), workshop slides teach — they include interactive exercises, concept builds, and structured learning.

Session Design Principles

1. One concept per slide — don't cram
2. Exercise every 15-20 minutes — people learn by doing
3. Build complexity gradually — start simple, add layers
4. Show, then do — teach the concept, then let them practice
5. Recap frequently — summarize after each section
