# Speaker Polish

## Overview

Rewrite presentation manuscripts into sharper, more performable speaker notes. Preserve factual content, improve audience impact, and express style as an abstract speaking strategy rather than a direct impersonation of a real person.

Use this skill for the narration layer of a presentation: what the presenter says, where they pause, how they transition, and what each slide should make the audience remember. Do not redesign slide visuals unless the user separately asks for deck creation or visual editing.

## Core Workflow

1. Identify the presentation context:
   - Purpose: product launch, fundraising, executive briefing, teaching, mobilization, report, public talk, or mixed.
   - Audience: investors, customers, executives, employees, students, general public, or another named group.
   - Input shape: existing PPT notes, slide-by-slide script, HTML deck `<aside class="notes">`, rough outline, or pasted slide content.
2. Select the speaking archetype:
   - If the user names an archetype, use it.
   - If the user does not name one, recommend 2-3 suitable archetypes with one-line reasons, then proceed with the best default if the user asks for immediate output.
   - If multiple archetypes are requested, blend them intentionally and name the blend, such as "Jobs clarity + Rosling data story."
3. Rewrite slide by slide:
   - Preserve all stated facts, numbers, names, dates, and claims.
   - Improve structure, rhythm, transitions, emotional contour, and audience orientation.
   - Move exposition into spoken notes, not visible slide copy, unless the user asks to rewrite slide text too.
4. Add delivery guidance:
   - Include rhythm cues, pauses, emphasis, and transitions.
   - Keep cues practical and stage-ready; avoid over-directing every sentence.
5. Protect authenticity and safety:
   - Do not claim to perfectly imitate, clone, or reproduce a living person's exact voice.
   - Do not copy famous lines or distinctive catchphrases as if they were original.
   - Phrase outputs as "inspired by" the archetype's rhetorical patterns.

## Archetype Library

Use these first-version archetypes. They are rhetorical patterns, not impersonations.

### Steve Jobs Inspired

Best for product launches, demos, vision decks, founder narratives, and crisp executive introductions.

- Use extreme simplicity, suspense, contrast, and recurring anchor phrases.
- Build toward a reveal: context, problem, turn, product, meaning.
- Favor short sentences, clean transitions, and a few memorable claims.
- Avoid overexplaining. Let one strong idea carry each slide.

### Barack Obama Inspired

Best for strategy, public leadership, organizational change, policy, culture, and employee mobilization.

- Use shared identity, hopeful realism, rhythmic parallelism, and a clear moral arc.
- Balance reason and emotion: acknowledge difficulty, then widen the horizon.
- Use "we" carefully to create belonging without sounding vague.
- Make the audience feel part of a larger, achievable project.

### Martin Luther King Jr. Inspired

Best for mission, values, transformation, social impact, and high-stakes calls to action.

- Use moral clarity, vivid imagery, escalating structure, and collective responsibility.
- Build from present tension to a principled future.
- Use repetition as architecture, not decoration.
- Avoid copying iconic phrases or cadence too closely.

### Winston Churchill Inspired

Best for crisis communication, resilience, turnaround plans, competitive pressure, and decisive leadership.

- Use compact force, resolve, historical framing, and contrast under pressure.
- Prefer short, weighty sentences and direct statements of stakes.
- Acknowledge danger without panic; turn pressure into determination.
- Keep humor, flourish, and defiance controlled.

### Nancy Duarte Inspired

Best for almost any structured presentation, especially executive decks, pitch decks, and transformation stories.

- Use "what is" versus "what could be" to create movement.
- Shape the talk as an audience journey with clear turning points.
- Alternate tension and release: problem, possibility, evidence, invitation.
- Make each slide do one job in the narrative arc.

### Simon Sinek Inspired

Best for strategy, brand, leadership, culture, category creation, and sales narratives.

- Start with Why before What and How.
- Make cause-and-effect clear and human.
- Tie product or strategy choices to belief, purpose, and trust.
- Avoid generic inspirational language; connect Why to concrete action.

### Brene Brown Inspired

Best for leadership, team culture, transformation, trust, learning, and human-centered topics.

- Use warmth, honesty, vulnerability, and grounded story.
- Name tensions people actually feel, then offer a brave next step.
- Make the speaker sound present and human, not polished to sterility.
- Keep emotional openness professional and relevant to the audience.

### Hans Rosling Inspired

Best for reports, data stories, education, market analysis, and public understanding.

- Open with a misconception, question, or surprising contrast.
- Turn numbers into a visible story: trend, comparison, human meaning.
- Explain what changed, why it matters, and what the audience should update.
- Avoid dumping statistics; every number must move the argument.

### Guo Degang Inspired / 郭德纲启发

Best for Chinese product launches, teaching and training decks, lighter investor roadshows, internal sharing, warm openings, and talks that need humor, stickiness, and audience rapport.

- Use Chinese crosstalk-inspired storytelling patterns: setup, misdirection, reversal, callback, and grounded analogy.
- Translate complex concepts into everyday scenes so the audience feels, "I know exactly what that means."
- Add light self-deprecation, conversational rhythm, and audience-facing turns without weakening the message.
- Use humor to clarify and energize, not to dodge substance.
- Do not write traditional crosstalk routines, imitate Guo Degang's personal voice, use signature catchphrases, or make serious business contexts feel slick or unserious.

### Luo Yonghao Inspired / 罗永浩启发

Best for Chinese product launches, startup roadshows, training courses, knowledge-based selling, personal brand talks, and content-led presentations with a sales goal.

- Open from a real pain point the audience recognizes, then make the pain concrete with candid, everyday commentary.
- Use light complaint, self-deprecation, and practical honesty to lower distance while keeping the speaker credible.
- Explain the product logic thoroughly: what changed, why the old way was awkward, and why the new way is more reasonable.
- Translate technical or business claims into plain Chinese so the audience feels the idea is obvious after hearing it.
- Keep the talk persuasive and funny without becoming a stand-up routine, imitation, or catchphrase performance.
- Do not imitate Luo Yonghao's personal voice, reuse real jokes, copy verbal habits, or sacrifice factual accuracy for punchlines.

### Trump Inspired / 特朗普启发

Best for forceful sales talks, product launches, competitive comparisons, internal mobilization, crisis responses, and pitches that need simple, direct, memorable takeaways.

- Use short sentences, repetition, strong contrast, result-oriented claims, and slogan-like memory points.
- Frame the problem clearly: what is broken, who is affected, what must change, and why this solution wins.
- Make evaluations direct and easy to repeat, but keep them grounded in the user's stated facts.
- Create a rally-style presentation energy for business contexts without turning the talk into political persuasion.
- Do not imitate Trump's personal voice, use signature catchphrases, introduce partisan attacks, exaggerate facts, or make professional content feel inflammatory.

## Default Output Format

When polishing a full deck, use this structure:

```markdown
## Style
Selected archetype: [name]
Reason: [one concise sentence]

## Slide 1: [title or inferred topic]
Speaker notes:
[polished narration]

Delivery cues:
[pause/emphasis/tempo/gesture/transition guidance]

Memory point:
[one sentence the audience should retain]
```

Repeat for each slide. If the user asks for concise output, compress each slide to: `Speaker notes`, `Delivery cues`, and `Memory point`.

When recommending styles before rewriting, use:

```markdown
Recommended styles:
- [Archetype]: [why it fits]
- [Archetype]: [why it fits]
- [Archetype]: [why it fits]

Default choice: [Archetype], because [reason].
```

## Handling Inputs

- For slide-by-slide content, keep the same slide order and title labels.
- For rough outlines, infer slide boundaries conservatively and label assumptions.
- For HTML decks, rewrite only the contents of speaker notes unless the user asks for HTML edits.
- For Chinese decks, write polished Chinese speaker notes by default and keep delivery cues concise.
- For Chinese final speaker notes, do not leave meta instructions such as “这页用于”, “这一页用来”, “先说”, “可以说”, “注意强调”, “慢一点讲”, or “收尾时提醒” inside the script. Rewrite those reminders into natural lines the presenter can say aloud.
- For bilingual decks, preserve the user's language split and do not translate unless requested.
- For missing audience or purpose, infer from context when obvious; otherwise state the assumption briefly.

## Quality Rules

- Preserve facts exactly. Do not invent metrics, customers, dates, citations, quotes, or case studies.
- Strengthen the thesis and transitions before polishing individual sentences.
- Use concrete nouns and active verbs.
- Make every slide answer: why this matters now, what the audience should understand, and what changes after this slide.
- Keep speaker notes speakable aloud. Prefer natural cadence over written density.
- Treat final notes as presenter script, not rehearsal annotations or slide director commentary, unless the user explicitly asks for delivery coaching.
- Use rhetorical devices sparingly: contrast, repetition, analogy, callback, question, reveal, and call to action.
- Remove filler phrases unless they serve warmth or pacing.
