Find weak, repetitive, and overloaded slides in my deck
Audits a deck slide by slide to flag text-heavy slides, repeated messages, and weak slides, with a fix for each.
The prompt
Audit my presentation slide by slide and find what's dragging it down.
My presentation: [PASTE all slide titles and text, in order, including any notes on charts]
Audience: [WHO]
Purpose: [WHAT I need from them]
Check every slide for:
- Overload: more than one message, more than ~40 words or 5 bullets, dense tables, charts with too many series, small text that won't read on screen.
- Repetition: the same point, number, or chart made on more than one slide (list the slide numbers that repeat each other).
- Weakness: a topic label instead of a takeaway headline, no clear reason to exist, claims without evidence, a headline the body doesn't prove, or a slide that doesn't connect to the purpose.
Return:
1. A scorecard table: | # | Headline | Overload (Y/N, why) | Repeats slide # | Weakness | Fix: keep / rewrite / split / merge / cut / move to appendix |
2. The repeated messages, grouped, with which slide should own each message.
3. The 3-5 slides that most need work, with a rewritten headline and a slimmed-down version of each.
4. Overall: total slides, how many to cut or merge, and the order to fix things in.
Be specific (quote the text that's the problem). Don't rewrite facts or numbers, only flag them if they look inconsistent between slides.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
