name: talk-stage5-script description: "Produces a complete 5-act pitch with speaker notes, a slide-by-slide specification, and a ready-to-paste Kimi prompt for AI slide generation. Requires validated angle and title from Stage 4. Use when you have a confirmed talk angle and need the full script, slide spec, and AI-generated presentation prompt." allowed-tools: Write Read effort: high

Talk Stage 5: Script

Produces the complete talk in 3 deliverables: the 5-act narrative with speaker notes, the slide specification, and the Kimi prompt ready to copy-paste.

Prerequisite: The user has validated angle + title at the Stage 4 CHECKPOINT. Do not run this stage without that confirmation.

When to Use This Skill

After Stage 4 CHECKPOINT is confirmed
When you have a validated angle + title
To produce the complete script and slide spec

What This Skill Does

Verifies inputs: all upstream files + angle/title confirmation
Loads the Kimi template: from templates/kimi-prompt-template.md
Builds the pitch: 5-act structure with speaker notes and timing
Builds the slide spec: slide by slide with visual, text, notes
Generates the Kimi prompt: fills the template with talk content
Saves 3 files

Input

talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-summary.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-concepts.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-angles.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-titre.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-timeline.md (optional, enriches speaker notes)
Chosen angle + chosen title (explicit user confirmation from Stage 4)

Output

talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-pitch.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-slides.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-kimi-prompt.md

## Screenshots to capture

| Slide | Screenshot | Source | Status |
|-------|-----------|--------|--------|
| {n} | {description} | {tool/URL} | To capture / Available |

kimi-prompt.md

Fill the template at templates/kimi-prompt-template.md with the talk's content.

Required sections to complete:

Full title and subtitle
Speaker name + event + date + duration + language + slide count
Design requirements (adjust color palette if different from default)
Slide Content Structure (section by section, all 5 acts)
Screenshot placeholders (slides awaiting real captures)
Tone reference (adapt to the talk's style)

Verify no {PLACEHOLDER} remains in the final file before handing to the user.

Script Construction Rules

1 idea per slide: never more, never less
Speaker notes = what you say, not what you read: minimal slides, conversational notes
Numbers are heroes: metrics appear large and alone on their slide
Anecdotes > explanations: "one Tuesday morning, 3 bugs..." > "git worktrees enable parallelism"
Explicit transitions: note the link between each act in the notes
Realistic timing: add 10% buffer total (slides always run long)

Anti-patterns

Slides loaded with bullets (never more than 5 words per line)
Speaker notes in technical jargon (read them aloud to validate)
Vague Kimi prompt ("make it look nice"): each slide must be precise
Omitting screenshot placeholders from the Kimi prompt
Generating more slides than the duration allows (2-3 min/slide for REX)

Validation Checklist

Pitch covers 5 acts with coherent timing (within 10% of target duration)
Each slide has visual + text + speaker notes
Key moments identified (pauses, punchlines, transitions)
Slides spec ready to hand to a designer
Kimi prompt complete (all template sections filled)
Screenshots to capture listed with source
No {PLACEHOLDER} remaining in kimi-prompt.md
3 files saved

Using the Kimi Prompt

Open {slug}-kimi-prompt.md
Verify no {PLACEHOLDER} remains (search the file)
Go to kimi.com (free account, no API needed)
Start a new conversation
Copy-paste the entire prompt
Kimi generates the presentation

For iterative refinement: add follow-up messages targeting specific slides. "Slide 7: make the number larger, remove the bullet list."

Tips

Speaker notes are the heart of this stage; they're what distinguishes a good talk from a good slide deck
The Kimi template includes a dark design system with orange accent colors. Adapt Color Palette in the template if your brand has different colors
Generate more slides than needed in the first pass, then cut (easier than writing from scratch)

Templates
