Phase 1: Gather Context

Question Set 1: Presentation Basics

Use AskUserQuestion to gather:

• Lightning talk (5-10 minutes)
• Short talk (15-20 minutes)
• Standard talk (30 minutes)
• Deep dive (45-60 minutes)

Q2: Audience "Who is the target audience?"

• Technical peers (same expertise level)
• Mixed technical (varied expertise)
• Leadership/stakeholders (high-level focus)
• New team members (onboarding/educational)
• External/clients (pitch or demo)

Q3: Format "What's the presentation format?"

• Lecture/talk (slides + speaking)
• Demo-heavy (live coding/walkthrough)
• Workshop (hands-on exercises)
• Discussion/Q&A heavy

Q4: Context "What's the venue/occasion?"

• Team meeting (internal, informal)
• Company all-hands (internal, formal)
• Conference talk (external, formal)
• Client presentation (external, sales/demo)
• Training session (educational)

Question Set 2: Content Strategy

Q5: Core Message "What's the ONE thing you want the audience to remember?"

• Free text input

Q6: Call to Action "What should the audience DO after this presentation?"

• Free text input

Q7: Key Topics (multi-select if applicable) "What topics must be covered?"

• Free text input (list the must-haves)

Q8: Exclusions "Anything to explicitly AVOID or skip?"

• Free text input (optional)

Question Set 3: Technical Depth

Q9: Code Examples "How much code should appear in slides?"

• Minimal (concepts only, pseudocode)
• Moderate (key snippets, highlighted lines)
• Heavy (full examples, walkthroughs)

Q10: Live Demo "Will there be live demonstrations?"

• No live demo (slides/screenshots only)
• Brief demo (1-2 quick demos)
• Demo-heavy (significant live portions)

Phase 3: Review and Iterate

1. Present the plan to the user
2. Ask for feedback: "Does this plan capture what you want? Any sections to add, remove, or adjust?"
3. Iterate until the user approves
4. Mark as ready: Update the "Ready for slide generation" checkbox

Output

Save as {topic-slug}-presentation-plan.md in the current directory.

Inform the user:

Plan created: {filename}

Review the plan and make any edits. When ready, run:
/slidev:from-plan {filename}
