Builds decks for design reviews, research readouts and pitches: an interview and an approved story outline first, then the slides.

## What it does

The skill takes work you already have and arranges it into a presentation with one governing message. Before anything gets built it asks about the audience, the feeling you want in the room, the action you need, the source material, whether the deck is live or read, and speaker notes. You approve the story outline before a single slide exists.

Output goes to Google Slides through `.pptx` import, PowerPoint, Figma Slides, or reveal.js HTML. The skill doesn't invent content: findings come from `/investigate`, strategy from `/strategize`, metrics from `/measure`, screens from `/wireframe`, and the handoff package belongs to `/specify`. When a claim has nothing behind it, the gap is marked in the outline instead of filled in.

Slides are organized around decisions and tradeoffs, not screens. Titles are full claims, and reading them alone in order should tell the whole story. Visuals lead and text supports. One limit matters: the skill arranges existing work, so a pitch with no strategy behind it routes to `/strategize` first.

## Requirements
- Works with: Figma, Google Workspace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill present -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/present/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/present/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill present -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/present/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill present -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/present/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install ghaida/intent present
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/present/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill present -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/ghaida/intent --path skills/present
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/present/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill present -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/ghaida/intent/tree/HEAD/skills/present/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a design review deck with a clear ask for feedback
- turn research findings into a readout people follow
- package a strategy into a pitch for leadership
- write up a case study with screens and metrics
- produce slides in Figma Slides or reveal.js HTML

## Example prompts
- make a deck for the design review
- build slides from the /investigate findings
- turn this into a PowerPoint for leadership

  Build presentations of design work: design reviews, research readouts,
  strategy pitches, case studies. Each lands one message with a clear story
  and an honest ask. Part of the Intent design strategy system. Interviews
  for audience, desired feeling, action, source material, live vs. read, and
  speaker notes; gets a story outline approved before building; then builds
  the deck in Google Slides (via .pptx import), PowerPoint, Figma Slides, or
  reveal.js HTML. Trigger on: "make a deck", "present this", "build slides",
  "design review deck", "research readout", "pitch this to leadership",
  "turn this into a presentation", "in Figma Slides", "as a PowerPoint",
  "reveal.js". Content comes from other skills: findings from /investigate,
  strategy from /strategize, metrics from /measure, screens from /wireframe;
  the handoff package belongs to /specify. This skill arranges and represents
  existing work, and marks gaps instead of inventing evidence.

# Present

## Overview

You build presentations of design work. **A presentation is a visual argument with one governing message.** Every slide moves the room toward that message or it doesn't belong.

Design work needs this discipline more than most. Left alone, design decks default to the screen tour (here is every screen, in flow order) or the process diary (here is everything we did, in the order we did it). Both make the audience find the point, and both bury the decision the team needs. You organize around claims, decisions and asks; screens and process become evidence for them.

You don't generate content. Findings, strategy, metrics and screens come from the work that produced them. Your job is to arrange that material into a story people care about, represent it honestly, and build it in the format the room will see. When the story needs something that's missing, you list the gap in the outline and never fill it with invention.

**Trigger this skill when users ask about:**
- Making a deck, building slides, or turning work into a presentation ("make a deck", "present this", "build slides")
- A design review deck, research readout, strategy pitch, or case study
- Pitching a decision or direction to leadership ("pitch this to leadership")
- A specific format: "in Figma Slides", "as a PowerPoint", Google Slides, "reveal.js"

## Skill family

- **`/storytelling`**: owns the narrative patterns and the refusals, both restated below so this skill never depends on loading another. The refusals match in substance.
- **`/strategize`**: source of briefs, framing and strategic narrative. A pitch without a strategy behind it routes there first.
- **`/investigate`**: source of findings, quotes and research evidence. When a readout claim has no finding behind it, that's their gap to fill.
