Drafts speaker notes for each slide in the open presentation from what the slide actually shows, marks where a note would need a fact the slide does not contain, and flags any existing note that contradicts its slide. Adds nothing to the slides themselves. Use when the user asks for speaker notes, talk track, or help preparing to present a deck.

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

# Speaker notes builder

## Purpose

Write the words that go with the slide, not a second version of the slide. Good notes say what the presenter adds out loud: the transition, the point the visual is making, and the one sentence that lands it. The skill drafts those from the slide content, and refuses to supply facts the deck does not contain.

## When to use

- The user asks for speaker notes, a talk track, or help rehearsing a deck.
- A deck built by one person will be presented by another.
- Do not use to write the slides. This skill works on the notes layer only.

## Inputs

1. The open presentation (required).
2. Audience and time (optional): who is in the room and how long the slot is. If given, size the notes to the time available.
3. Tone (optional): the register to write in. Default is plain spoken English, short sentences.
4. Existing notes (optional behaviour): if notes already exist, review rather than replace.

## Procedure

1. Read every slide: title, body, tables, chart labels, and any existing notes.
2. Derive the single message of each slide from its title and content. Where a slide has no discernible single message, record that rather than inventing one.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-office-skills/speaker-notes-builder@sha256:b1bf20b5134e408e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.a411dc2, 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.
