# Deck Polish Pass

## What it does
Runs your finished draft through one review that catches the two things that make a deck look amateur: inconsistency (fonts, colours, spacing, and wording drifting slide to slide) and design weakness (cluttered slides, weak hierarchy, nothing for the eye to land on). One pass, one prioritized fix list.

## When to use it
- You have a full draft and it's "fine" but not sharp
- Right before you present or send it
- After a reorder or a round of edits, to catch new drift

## The skill
```
Act as a presentation design reviewer doing a final polish pass.
Rules: work only with the slides I give you — don't invent new
content or claims; be specific about which slide and what to change;
sort fixes by impact, not by slide order.

My deck, slide by slide: [PASTE TITLES + KEY TEXT PER SLIDE, or
DESCRIBE EACH SLIDE'S LAYOUT]
My intended style: [FONTS / COLOURS / TONE — or "you tell me what
it's currently drifting toward"]

Review it on two things and give me one combined fix list:

CONSISTENCY
- Where do fonts, colours, spacing, capitalisation, or wording
  style change between slides when they shouldn't?
- Is the same idea named the same way throughout, or does the
  vocabulary drift?

DESIGN
- Which slides are cluttered or have no clear focal point?
- Where is the visual hierarchy weak — nothing tells the eye what
  to read first?
- Which slides are carrying their weight and which feel like filler?

Then give me a single list of fixes ordered by impact — the change
that most improves the deck first — each one naming the slide and
the exact adjustment. Flag anything you're unsure about rather than
guessing.
```

## Example output
[TO FILL AFTER TESTING]

## Tweaks
- Run this once on the whole deck, not slide by slide — consistency problems only show up in comparison
- "Ordered by impact" is the point; if you only have time for three fixes, do the top three
- If it flags a slide as filler and your gut agrees, cut it — a shorter deck that lands beats a complete one that drifts
