Goal

• Reduce the text in the slides without changing their content or structure

Workflow

Role

• Your role is in .claude/skills/role.ai_researcher.md

Follow Conventions

• Follow .claude/skills/slides.rules.md
  • E.g., a line starting with an asterisk * is the slide title. Leave it unchanged

Keep the Structure

• Keep the slide sequence, the comments, and the headers
• Keep the bullet and sub-bullet structure
• Keep all figures
• Leave bold lines untouched
• Never collapse a sub-point into a colon-joined clause on the parent bullet. Shorten the words in each bullet. Do not merge bullets
  • Bad

    - **Collections of data**: organized datasets for analysis
      - E.g., customer purchase histories in CRM
    

  • Good

    - **Collections of data**
      - Organized datasets for analysis
      - E.g., customer purchase histories in CRM
    

Reduce Text

• Reduce the text and keep the bullet structure untouched
  • Write directly to the audience, using "you"
  • Be concise. Remove filler words (e.g., "the", "that", "very")
  • Use active voice (e.g., "Improve accuracy," not "Accuracy can be improved")
  • Prefer short phrases over full sentences
• Delete a whole bullet when it is unclear or adds no information beyond a nearby bullet. Do not try to trim it
  • E.g., for a slide in input like:

    * Slide title
    - This is a very long bullet point that is not clear and should be removed
    - This is a clear bullet point that should be kept
    

    the output is:

    * Slide title
    - This is a clear bullet point that should be kept
    

Example

• Input

  - **Collections of data**
    - Aggregated, organized data sets for analysis
    - E.g., customer purchase histories in a CRM system
  
  - **Descriptive statistics**
    - Summary metrics: mean, median, mode, standard deviation
    - E.g., average sales per quarter to understand trends
  
  - **Historical reports**
    - Examination of _past performance_
    - E.g., monthly sales reports for past fiscal year
  
  - **Dashboards**
    - Visual displays of key metrics for insights
    - E.g., dashboard showing quarterly revenue, expenses
  
  - **Models**
    - Statistical representations to _forecast, explain phenomena_
    - E.g., model to anticipate customer churn based on behavioral data
  

• Output

Verification

• Make sure that the updated slides render correctly, e.g.,

  > gen_slides.py -i <FILE> --notes_to_pdf_args="--skip_action open_pdf"
