What problem does it solve? Turning technical knowledge into a compelling conference talk is hard: speakers overrun their time slots, cram slides with text, and open with weak introductions that lose the audience in the first 30 seconds. This Skill structures the entire talk-writing process so the script fits the time budget and lands a single memorable idea. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Through-Line Development: Distills the talk into one sentence thesis and answers the three core audience questions (why this, why you, why me). - Timing Budgets: Enforces the 130 words-per-minute rule with concrete word caps for lightning talks (1,200 words), 20-minute talks (2,500 words), and 45-minute keynotes (5,500 words). - Slide Choreography & Hooks: Produces a slide-by-slide script with minimal on-slide text, a 30-second opening hook, and a closing call to action, delivered as a KEYNOTE-SCRIPT.md file. - Use Case: A developer preparing a 20-minute conference talk on distributed tracing uses this Skill to script 2,450 words across 28 visual slides, opening with a personal outage story and finishing under the time limit. ## Quick Start Write a 20-minute conference talk script with a slide-by-slide plan about how our team debugged a production database outage.
