SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Finished work often fails to land when presented because talks bury the point, overload slides with text, and end without a clear takeaway. This Skill turns completed research, papers, or projects into a structured presentation with a defined audience, a single core message, and a story-ordered arc. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Narrative Arc Design: Builds a story-ordered structure (hook, setup, move, evidence, close) tailored to the audience, venue, and time budget. - Slide-by-Slide Planning: Specifies what appears on each slide versus what is spoken aloud, enforcing one idea per slide and cutting content that does not serve the core message. - Q&A Preparation: Anticipates the hardest audience questions and drafts honest answers, including committee-style defense preparation. - Use Case: A researcher with a 15-minute conference slot for a caching-algorithm paper gets a five-beat arc, a slide plan separating visuals from narration, a cut list moving extra results to backup slides, and three rehearsed reviewer-style questions. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to turn your finished paper or project into a 15-minute conference talk with a slide-by-slide plan and Q&A prep.

Frequently Asked Questions about orator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn my research paper into a conference talk?▼

Start by naming the one result the audience must remember, then build a story-ordered arc: the problem made vivid, why prior work falls short, your idea in one diagram, the headline result, and what it changes. Move everything else into backup slides for Q&A.

How many slides should a 15-minute talk have?▼

Slide count matters less than rehearsed runtime and one idea per slide. A 15-minute talk typically supports around 10-12 slides with a single message each; cut slides whenever the rehearsal runs long.

How do I prepare for PhD defense questions?▼

List the hardest questions each committee member is likely to ask and rehearse answers that concede what is true while defending what holds. Owning your limitations on stage before they are raised matters more than slide polish.

What should go on a slide versus what I say out loud?▼

Slides carry what the eye needs: a figure, a number, a diagram, or a few keywords. Your voice carries the argument and explanation. Full-sentence bullets make the audience read instead of listen.

Should I do a live demo during my presentation?▼

Live demos are risky because wifi, hardware, or inputs can fail in front of the audience. Record a backup video of the demo working, narrate over it identically, and cut to the recording the instant the live version stalls.
