Write a slide-by-slide script: exactly 5 numbered lines, each starting with a time range in brackets like [0:00-1:00], running back to back from 0:00 to 5:00, then the slide name and what to say in under 30 words. Plain text, under 200 words. Close the last slide with the exact line: Send me your Q3 goals by Friday.","materialLabel":"Your slide notes (attached to your prompt automatically)","material":"Q2 team update - slide notes (Harbor Analytics team, lead: me)\n\nSlide 1 - Q2 at a glance\nShipped the new client dashboard (May 14). Closed 41 of 45 support tickets on time (91%). Ran 2 client workshops.\n\nSlide 2 - Wins\nClient renewal at Tidewater Mills after the dashboard demo. Nadia's data-cleaning script cut our weekly report time from 6 hours to 2. Customer survey score up from 7.8 to 8.4.\n\nSlide 3 - Team changes\nWe hired 4 new analysts this quarter: Bo, Rafaela, Ike and Suki. Welcome lunch was June 20.\n(Update June 28: Suki declined the offer the week she was due to start. So it's 3 new analysts, not 4. Backfill search reopens in July.)\n\nSlide 4 - What got harder\nData from the warehouse feed arrived late 6 times. Two reports went out a day late because of it. IT says the new feed server lands in August.\n\nSlide 5 - Q3 focus\n1) Automate the monthly client pack. 2) Cut late reports to zero. 3) Train the new analysts on the dashboard.\n\nSide note to self: hallway rumor that our group might merge with Ops in Q3. Nothing confirmed, don't bring it up yet.\n","rules":[{"type":"numberedItems","count":5},{"type":"maxWords","max":200},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"No timing on the lines","why":"The AI writes speaker notes but leaves the timing for you to guess.","fix":"Add: \"Start each line with a time range like [0:00-1:00], back to back, ending at 5:00.\"","checks":["r0","numberedItems"]},{"title":"Old headcount","why":"The slide says 4 hires, and the AI misses the update below it.","fix":"Add: \"Use the June 28 update: 3 new analysts.\"","checks":["r1"]},{"title":"No closing ask","why":"The AI ends with a generic thank-you instead of your call to action.","fix":"Add: \"End the last line with: Send me your Q3 goals by Friday.\"","checks":["r2"]},{"title":"Paragraph walls","why":"The AI writes long markdown sections per slide, far too long to say in a minute.","fix":"Add: \"One plain-text line per slide, under 30 words of script.\"","checks":["plainText","maxWords"]},{"title":"Trusting the AI to count words","why":"AI is bad at counting words, so a total word cap usually lands over.","fix":"Cap each part: \"each line under 30 words.\"","checks":["maxWords"]}],"promptHints":[{"label":"Asks for timing","patterns":["\\[0:00","time range","timing","minute"]},{"label":"Sets the total length","patterns":["5 minutes","five minutes","5:00"]},{"label":"Uses the corrected hires","patterns":["\\b3\\b.{0,20}(hire|analyst)","june 28","update","declined"]},{"label":"Gives the closing line","patterns":["q3 goals by friday"]},{"label":"Caps each line","patterns":["\\d+\\s*words"]}],"hint":"A script you can actually deliver on time needs timing on every line.
