Narrative Slide Creator

Narrative-first slide deck creation — design a structured narrative (the ABCDEFG model) first, then generate the visuals, so the story drives the design rather than the other way around.

Decks that start from templates end up as bullet soup with no through-line. This playbook builds the narrative spine first, then renders slides that actually persuade.

Who it's for: founders, marketers, consultants, product managers

Example

"Turn this content into a pitch deck" → A narrative-structured deck where each slide advances a deliberate story, then rendered to visuals

# Slides Creator

**Narrative-first slide deck creation.**

This skill does what machines can't do — narrative co-design with humans — and delegates everything else to the best tool for the job (`baoyu-slide-deck`).

## First Law: The User's Voice Is Primary

**This is the highest-priority rule. Nothing overrides it.**

> AI cannot write high-quality content for the user. It can only help the user express their own content better.

What This Does

Narrative-first slide deck creation — design a structured narrative (the ABCDEFG model) first, then generate the visuals, so the story drives the design rather than the other way around.

What's Inside

The template covers:

  • First Law: The User's Voice Is Primary
  • Architecture
  • Phase 0: Source Material Collection
  • Phase 1: Narrative Structure Discussion
  • Phase 2: Content Structuring
  • ABCDEFG Arc

Quick Start

Step 1: Create a Project Folder

Make a dedicated folder for this workflow and open it in Claude Code.

Step 2: Download the Template

Click Download above to save the template, then drop it into your project as CLAUDE.md (or paste it into your existing one).

Step 3: Start Working

Tell Claude what you need in plain language — it will follow the template's workflow automatically. For example:

Turn this content into a pitch deck

Claude reads the template and runs the steps for you.
