Presentation Content Write slide content that is bold, minimal, and designed for speaking to — not reading from. Writing Principles Headlines that land — statements, not descriptions. "AI has no memory" not "Discussion of AI context limitations" Minimal text — if it takes more than 5 seconds to read, cut it Emphasis through scale — big words at light weight, not small words in bold Conversation starters — each slide prompts what you'll say, not what the audience reads Headline Patterns Statement headlines Bold declarations that take a position: "Speed is a feature" "AI has no memory" "Context is everything" "Passive beats active" Question headlines Create tension and invite reflection: "What would we do differently if we started today?" "What does this mean for you?" "So does any of this actually work?" Action headlines Drive toward outcomes: "Building blocks over modules" "Always be gardening" "Let agents write their own rules" Framing headlines Set context for what follows: "How we got here" "Where we're going" "The real results" Body Text Patterns Bold lead-in + explanation Retention is the real metric Acquisition gets attention, but retention builds the business. Speed compounds Ship fast, learn fast, win fast — momentum is the moat. Key phrase emphasis Highlight critical words within sentences: "Give the right people , the right amount of information, at the right time " "We don't compete on features — we compete on speed and focus " Minimal bullets 3-4 points maximum, each earning its place: - Focus over breadth — Do one thing better than anyone. - Platform, not tool — Customers run their whole operation here. - Speed is the moat — Ship weekly, learn daily, compound forever. Inline code Use backticks for technical terms, file names, and commands within slides: "Start with AGENTS.md in your project root" "Run npx skills add to install" Slide Templates Statement slide ** Section label: ** WHAT WORKS ** Section color: ** green ** Headline: ** Passive context beats active retrieval ** Subtitle: ** AGENTS.md is always loaded — skills only trigger when matched Big statement slide ** Section label: ** THE PROBLEM ** Section color: ** red ** Headline: ** AI has no memory Quote slide ** Quote: ** "What got you here, won't get you there" ** Attribution: ** Marshall Goldsmith Data slide ** Section label: ** THE DATA ** Section color: ** amber ** Headline: ** 10% MoM Growth, $10M ARR ** Subtitle: ** Scaling globally with strong traction ** Metrics: ** - ARR: $10M - MoM Growth: 10% - NPS: 90 Code slide ** Section label: ** IMPLEMENTATION ** Section color: ** blue ** Headline: ** Install the skills ** Subtitle: ** One command to add all recommended skills bash npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills Goals slide ** Section label: ** WHY WE'RE HERE ** Section color: ** teal ** Headline: ** Goals for today ** Points: ** - ** Get aligned ** — One plan, one direction, no ambiguity. - ** Make decisions ** — Resolve the open questions today, not next week. - ** Leave with actions ** — Everyone knows what they're doing Monday. Recap slide ** Headline: ** Recap ** Sections: ** - ** The problem ** — AI has no memory, context rots, output is generic - ** The fix ** — Invest in AGENTS.md, use skills for domain knowledge - ** The practice ** — Always be gardening your project context Transformation Examples Before (verbose): "The fundamental issue with AI coding assistants is that they don't retain any context between sessions, leading to repetitive and generic outputs" After (bold): Headline: AI has no memory Subtitle: Every session starts from zero Before (explanation): "Our product strategy going forward will be based on building reusable components" After (statement): Headline: Building blocks over modules Supporting: A platform built on configurable building blocks. Think "Notion for [your domain]." Workflow Identify the one thing — what must the audience remember from this slide? Write the headline first — bold statement or question Add only what earns its place — cut anything the speaker will say anyway Read it at arm's length — if you can't parse it in 3 seconds, simplify
