# Deck Story Order

## What it does
Audits the whole flow of a presentation as if watching it live — where the story jumps, where attention drops, which slides are redundant — and proposes a better order with the reasoning. Well-designed slides in the wrong sequence still fail to persuade.

## When to use it
- Your slides look good individually but the deck doesn't land
- You've reordered it five times and can't tell if it flows
- Before a high-stakes presentation, as a structure check

## The skill
```
Act as a presentation reviewer watching my deck live for the first
time. Rules: judge the flow, not the visuals; be honest about weak
transitions; don't invent content — work only with the slides I give.

My slides in order: [PASTE SLIDE TITLES + one line each, in order]
The one action I want the audience to take: [STATE IT]

Tell me honestly:
1. Does it flow problem → insight → solution → result, or does it
   jump around? Name where it breaks.
2. The drop point: where would the audience most likely lose
   interest or get confused about where this is heading?
3. Redundancy: any slides that repeat a point or could merge
   without losing anything.
Then propose a better slide order if it needs one, and explain the
reasoning for each move — not just the new list.
```

## Example output
[TO FILL AFTER TESTING]

## Tweaks
- Run this after you have a full draft, not while you're still writing slides
- Feed it just titles + one line each — it's about sequence, not detail
- If the reorder feels wrong in your gut, say so and ask it to defend both orders; you know the room, it doesn't
