Gather Information Ask the user for: - Talk title and topic - Target audience and knowledge level - Main points to cover - Brain dump of everything they know - Problem they're solving or story they're telling - Constraints (time limit, specific technologies) ### 2. Read the Story Circle Framework Load `references/story-circle.md` for the eight-step narrative structure. The framework maps tech talks to: - Top half: Established practices and order - Bottom half: Disruption and experimentation ### 3. Create the Outline Structure the talk using eight Story Circle steps: 1. **Introduction** - Current status quo 2. **Problem Statement** - What needs solving 3. **Exploration** - Initial attempts 4. **Experimentation** - Deep investigation 5. **Solution** - The breakthrough 6. **Challenges** - Implementation difficulties 7. **Apply Knowledge** - Integration into project 8. **Results & Insights** - Lessons learned Map user's content to these steps. Show outline and refine based on feedback. ### 4. Generate iA Presenter Slides Read `references/ia-presenter-syntax.md` for markdown formatting rules. Create slides that: - Use `---` to separate slides - Add tabs before content visible on slides - Leave speaker notes without tabs - Include comments with `//` for reminders - Format code blocks with syntax highlighting Structure the slide deck: - Title slide - Introduction with speaker bio - One or more slides per Story Circle step - Code examples broken across multiple slides - Closing slide with contact info and resources ### 5. Refine and Iterate After showing slides: - Ask if sections need expansion or compression - Check if code examples need better formatting - Verify story flow makes sense - Adjust based on feedback ## Gotchas - Story Circle steps 3-4 (Exploration/Experimentation) are where most talks lose structure — ensure the "struggle" before the solution is clear - iA Presenter syntax requires tabs before visible content — content without tabs becomes speaker notes only - Code on slides must be readable on bad projectors — break across multiple slides, use large font - Don't skip the iterate step — first draft outlines always have pacing issues ## Key Principles **Tell a Story**: Focus on how you approached a problem and solved it. **Keep It Readable**: Break code across slides. Test on bad projectors. **Engage the Audience**: Use humor where appropriate. Ask questions. **Make Follow-up Easy**: Include memorable URL or QR code linking to resources. ## Example Workflow **Topic**: Migrating from JavaScript to TypeScript 1. Gather experience, main points, target audience 2. Map content to Story Circle: - Introduction: Current JS codebase - Problem: Type safety issues - Exploration: Research into TypeScript - Experimentation: Pilot conversion - Solution: Incremental migration strategy - Challenges: Third-party library types - Apply: Full codebase migration - Results: 40% reduction in runtime errors 3. Generate markdown slides with proper formatting 4. Iterate based on feedback --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/kriscard) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
