Designs slide decks and one-pagers that carry an argument rather than decorate one — deck structure, headlines that state the takeaway, charts that make a single point, and the different rules board decks and conference talks follow. Use this to build or fix a pitch deck, board deck, or conference talk, to design a one-pager, or when a deck is dense, unfocused, or being read aloud from the slides. For social graphics, carousels and infographics, use `marketing:visual-content` instead.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Presentation design

## Decks

**The deck is not the talk.** Slides that contain the argument make the speaker redundant and the
reader confused. Decide which artifact you are making — a spoken-support deck or a read-alone
document — because they have opposite rules and the hybrid fails at both.

**One idea per slide.** If a slide needs a sub-argument, it is two slides. The cost of an extra
slide is zero; the cost of a crowded one is that nothing on it lands.

**Structure carries more than styling:**

1. Open with the change in the world that makes this matter now.
2. State the problem in the audience's terms, not yours.
3. The argument, in the smallest number of steps that hold.
4. The evidence — one chart per claim, not a dashboard.
5. The ask, stated explicitly. A deck that ends without an ask was a briefing.

**On slides:** headline states the takeaway, not the topic — "Churn concentrates in month two,"
not "Churn analysis." If the reader only reads headlines, they should get the argument.

**Charts:** one message each, labeled directly rather than through a legend, with the axis honest.
Strip everything that is not carrying information.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/presentation-design@sha256:a9d95cfbf4ffa38a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.506e45c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
