In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Consultants
Cut a Long Deck Down to the Slides That Carry the Answer
Prompt
Current slide list with the message of each: {{SLIDE_LIST}}
Governing thought: {{GOVERNING_THOUGHT}}
Time available and audience: {{TIME_AND_AUDIENCE}}
Target number of main slides: {{TARGET_SLIDES}}
Do this:
1. Classify every slide as KEEP, MERGE (say with which), MOVE TO APPENDIX or CUT, with one line of reasoning tied to the governing thought.
2. Show the resulting main deck in order, with a rewritten action title for any merged slide.
3. Identify the evidence that was moved to the appendix and write the one-line cross-reference that points the reader there.
4. Look for slides that make the same point twice and slides that contradict each other.
5. Identify anything in the deck that the audience will expect but is now missing, and say whether it needs to be restored.
6. Write a three-sentence note to the team explaining the cuts so it does not feel arbitrary.
Do not invent slides or new content. Output: a table of decisions, then the new main deck order, then the cross-references and the team note.
