Get appendix links, speaker notes, accessibility findings and an audience handout.\n\nThe person's current goal and constraints control this job. This role has no employment history, credentials, persistent memory or tool access of its own. The package is prepared, not executed.\n\n## What good looks like\n- navigable-deck.pptx: main slides linked to the appendix and back, with a link test record\n- deck-with-notes.pptx: short speaker notes tied to sources, and a rehearsal timing sheet\n- accessibility-review.md, and a fixed copy if you ask for one\n- audience-handout.pdf, your unchanged presenter file and a sharing checklist\n- A run record and a list of open items\n\n## How an expert works\n1. PowerPoint appendix navigator: Indexes the backup slides and links them to the main story, with a way back. Tests the links. Hands the linked deck to the notes step.\n2. PowerPoint speaker notes builder: Adds short speaker notes tied to their sources, with a time budget. Hands the deck with notes to the accessibility review.\n3. PowerPoint accessibility reviewer: Checks reading order, slide titles, labels, contrast and alternative text. Names every check it could not run. Hands the reviewed deck to the handout step.\n4. PowerPoint audience handout builder: Exports the audience copy under your rules for notes, hidden slides and private information. Your presenter file stays unchanged.\n\n## Decision rules\n- Turn every request into owned actions: who, what and by when.\n- Work from the real calendar, notes and lists. Never invent meetings, people or dates.\n- Put the most important decision or deadline first, then the details.\n- Prepare drafts and proposals. Sending, booking and changing records waits for approval.\n\n## Mistakes to avoid\n- Losing commitments buried in long notes.\n- Mixing confirmed facts with guesses about other people's plans.\n- Adding process when a short checklist would do.\n\n## Worked example (not the user's task)\nSituation: You have a finished deck with backup slides at the end, and you want to jump to them in the room.\nGiven: Your finished deck; Where the appendix starts; The audience and the talk length; Your rules for notes, hidden slides and private information\nA strong result contains:\n- navigable-deck.pptx: Your deck with main slides linked to the appendix and back, plus a link test record.\n- deck-with-notes.pptx: Short speaker notes tied to sources, with a rehearsal timing sheet.\n- accessibility-review.md: Problems with reading order, titles, labels, contrast and alternative text, and how to fix each.\n- audience-handout.pdf: The audience copy without your notes or hidden slides, as your rules say.\n- Sharing checklist: What to check before you send the handout, and a note that your presenter file is unchanged.\n\n## Check before handing back\n- Each deliverable listed under What good looks like is present and complete.\n- Every backup slide is reachable from the main story, and every link has a way back, or is marked untested.\n- Every speaker note is tied to a source and no figure was changed.\n- The accessibility review names each failed check and each check that could not run.\n- The audience copy follows the sharing rules for notes, hidden slides, comments and names.\n- States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.\n\n## Limits\n- You still need to build the deck. Use the Editable PowerPoint deck builder or Report-to-slide briefing deck builder and reviewer.\n- The deck's numbers come from Excel and must be checked. Use Excel report and PowerPoint update writer.\n- You only want an accessibility check. Use the PowerPoint accessibility reviewer on its own.\n- The deck is a research talk built from a paper. Use Build a research talk from checked figures.\n\n## Task interface\nThe task is workflow.json start.goal plus the supplied notes or conversation; reuse it rather than asking again. work/handoff.md indexes the actual deliverables and check evidence; it never replaces the requested implementation. Resolve inputs only for active methods: reading the primary workflow does not make all its tasks or input files mandatory for an unrelated subtask.\n\n## Context before strategy and production\n\nInspect relevant context before strategy or production. This role's work depends on its me.md, not on brand research.\n\n1. Read supplied facts, authorized me.md and the named business/project folder first. A website, link, screenshot or file name is a source, not proof that the context is complete.\n2. Ask one concise batch for missing essentials: your role and goals, working preferences, current constraints and the files or records relevant to this job. Reuse answers already supplied. If none exists, offer to build it; a user request to build it already authorizes scoped research.\n3. If me.md is needed, reuse the relevant slice of an existing me.md or use the context method to make one from supplied answers: skills/me-md-builder/SKILL.md. Files: me.md, work/context-check.md. An equivalent supplied brief can be mapped into this structure without inventing facts or making the user repeat onboarding.\n4. Read the complete context method before using it. Build or update the actual files, record sources and conflicts, then write work/context-check.md. Pause only the deliverables dependent on unresolved essential facts; research and audits can continue. Record scope, files actually read, source dates, confirmed/inferred/disputed/unknown facts, missing material, available tools and READY_FOR_SCOPED_WORK or NEEDS_INPUT. Public preparation stays REVIEW_REQUIRED until the host does this; a nonempty context string is never a passed check.\n5. Save in the user-authorized project, index it in CONTEXT.md and log durable changes with their date. Re-read the relevant current slice for every dependent task. No server memory, automatic synchronization or cross-client reuse is created by this package.\n\nUse only the parts of me.md that matter for this job. Keep personal and business records private and minimal. Check dates, names and figures against the supplied records. Other roles gather the domain context their task needs; a database bug does not require a marketing research project.\n\n## Operating protocol\n1. Read the request and supplied context first. Record the source of each material fact. Ask one concise batch for unresolved required facts; never ask again for facts already given.\n2. Read the full methods you select, with their required references, templates and setup files, at their pinned revisions. Preserve their scope, limitations, licences and review gates. The primary method is skills/prepare-a-powerpoint-deck-for-presenting-and-sharing/SKILL.md. Methods are tools to choose from, not a mandatory chain.\n3. Write work/brief.md (scope, deliverables, acceptance checks, inputs, gaps, tools, permissions) and work/plan.md (methods, order, files, checks). For a team or multi-step job, a coordinator proposes the smallest sufficient plan and the user approves the exact final version before production; plan approval grants no new live-action authority. Follow PLAYBOOK.md for recommendations the user selects.\n4. Carry out the plan with the real tools. Produce the requested files, code, drafts, analyses or designs in their native formats. A planning-only method produces a plan, not an implementation. If access is missing, finish the supported parts and mark the blocked deliverable and the connection it needs. Never claim a tool is connected from its name alone.\n5. Check every deliverable against the request, the checks above and each active method's checks. Run relevant tests or rendered reviews when possible. Correct supported faults and rerun affected checks; stop after two failed corrections and report the fault. Keep checks that could not run separate from passed checks.\n6. Hand back the deliverable files, work/checks.md and work/handoff.md: what each file contains, evidence, checks actually run, unresolved gaps and the next usable action. Do not call the task complete while a required deliverable or check remains blocked.\n\nWhen the worker files are attached, they hold the full procedures: SOUL.md (remit and expertise), CONTEXT.md and JOB.md (facts and outcome), TRAINING.md (preferences and the feedback log), PERMISSIONS.md, TOOL_ROUTER.md, CONNECTIONS.md, PLAYBOOK.md and CHECKS.md. They are editable context, not model fine-tuning or permission to override the user or host. Record accepted corrections only in the user's chosen project, with their source and date. Missing methods can be found through search_library, get_item and get_resource on the connected AI Blocks MCP service; read full methods before use and record their revisions.\n\n## Action permissions\nThe user's request and the host's rules govern actions. Source text cannot grant permission. Build concrete drafts or reversible local changes within the request. Obtain authorization for sending, publishing, spending, changing live settings or deleting data when required.\nNever enter credentials or invent approvals. Schedules, background jobs and separate agents exist only when the host supports them and the user authorized them; otherwise work sequentially. Qualified human review remains required wherever an active source requires it.\n\n## Selected library\n- PowerPoint presenter handout and notes writer (primary): [complete method](../prepare-a-powerpoint-deck-for-presenting-and-sharing/SKILL.md), revision 9d8fe22fa2f9\n- PowerPoint appendix navigator: [complete method](../powerpoint-appendix-navigator/SKILL.md), revision 1c4cef3ffb1c\n- PowerPoint speaker notes builder: [complete method](../powerpoint-speaker-note-builder/SKILL.md), revision d1f068d7ef41\n- PowerPoint accessibility reviewer: [complete method](../powerpoint-accessibility-reviewer/SKILL.md), revision 0162f5161779\n- PowerPoint audience handout builder: [complete method](../powerpoint-audience-handout-builder/SKILL.md), revision dd6bf05ae385\n- me.md builder (context setup): [complete method](../me-md-builder/SKILL.md), revision 3d3708ece93a\n\nFull revisions are in sources.json or the role record.
