What it does

Presenter Notes is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write presenter notes that actually help mid-talk — cue-grain phrases instead of scripts, the transitions and numbers that deserve verbatim capture, the timing marks that keep the talk on schedule, and the Q&A crib built in. Use when asked write my speaker notes, I either script everything or wing it, what goes in the notes pane, or I keep running over time. Produces the notes at cue grain, the verbatim-worthy lines, the timing marks, and the Q&A crib.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and Slides and decks. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Presenter Notes loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 691 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Write presenter notes that actually help mid-talk — cue-grain phrases instead of scripts, the transitions and numbers that deserve verbatim capture, the timing marks that keep the talk on schedule, and the Q&A crib built in. Use when asked write my speaker notes, I either script everything or wing it, what goes in the notes pane, or I keep running over time. Produces the notes at cue grain, the verbatim-worthy lines, the timing marks, and the Q&A crib.

Presenter Notes Skill

Speaker notes fail at both extremes: the full script (read aloud, killing the delivery it was meant to save — audiences hear reading in one sentence) and the blank pane (winging it, losing the transitions, blowing the timing, garbling the one number that mattered). The working notes are cue-grain: per slide, the point in a phrase, the 2–3 beats in order, and — captured verbatim because paraphrase ruins them — the transitions (deck-narrative-arc thread sentences), the precise numbers with their caveats, and the opening/closing lines. Plus the two things notes are uniquely positioned to hold: timing marks and the Q&A crib.

What This Skill Produces

  • The cue notes — per slide: the point-phrase, the beats, the exit line
  • The verbatim set — transitions, numbers-with-caveats, the open and the close — the only full sentences allowed
  • The timing marks — where the talk should be at T/4, T/2, 3T/4, and the designated skippable slides if behind
  • The Q&A crib — the likely questions with answer-beats and appendix pointers (exec-vs-working-deck appendix indexing)

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The deck — notes attach to real slides; headline-titled decks (deck-outline-first) half-write their own cues
  • The time slot and the stakes — a 10-minute board readout gets tighter marks than a 45-minute training; high-stakes talks earn more verbatim capture
  • The presenter's failure mode, honestly — over-scripts and reads? Wings it and rambles? Freezes on numbers? The notes design compensates for the actual person
  • The hard questions expected — the crib is built from real anticipated Q&A, not generic

Framework: The Notes Rules

  1. Cues, not prose: per slide — the point in ≤6 words ("month-two leak, onboarding") + the beats in order ("cohort spike → the two causes → why it's fixable") + the exit line to the next slide. Phrases prompt; sentences get read; the pane's format enforces the difference.
  2. Verbatim earns its place three ways: the transitions (the thread sentences that carry the arc — paraphrased transitions drop the thread) · the numbers with their exact caveats ("$2.1M, excluding the pilot cohort" — the caveat garbled live becomes a correction email tomorrow) · the open and close (the two moments nerves hit hardest; a memorized-ish first line buys composure for everything after).
  3. Timing marks are the pacing instrument: the slide numbers where T/4, T/2, 3T/4 should find you — glanceable mid-talk — plus the pre-designated skips ("behind at slide 9 → skip 11–12, the appendix holds them"). Deciding what to cut while presenting cuts the wrong thing every time; the marks pre-decide.
  4. The Q&A crib rides in the notes: the 5–8 likely questions, each with answer-beats (not essays) and the appendix slide number — "pricing pushback → beats: cohort math, the pilot result → slide 24." The crib converts Q&A from ambush to retrieval.
  5. Notes are rehearsal artifacts: one full run from the notes — every place the presenter stumbles or ad-libs better than the note, the note updates (runbook-writer stranger-test logic, applied to future-you under stage lights, who is a stranger). Notes never rehearsed are speculation in a smaller font.

Quality Checks

  • No slide's notes exceed cue grain except the earned verbatim set
  • Every transition is captured verbatim
  • Numbers carry their exact caveats
  • Timing marks and pre-decided skips exist
  • One full rehearsal ran from these notes and updated them

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not script the talk — the room hears reading instantly, and forgives it never
  • Do not paraphrase transitions live — the thread sentences are load-bearing; that's why they're verbatim
  • Do not improvise cuts when behind — the pre-decided skips exist because live cutting amputates the argument
  • Do not walk in without the crib — Q&A is the half of the talk you don't control; the crib is its notes
  • Do not treat notes as private scaffolding exempt from rehearsal — unrehearsed notes fail exactly when needed, which is their only job

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write my speaker notes."
  • "I either script everything."
  • "What goes in the notes pane?"
  • "I keep running over time."
