Step 1 — Research

Do not generate slides yet.

Search the web using at least 5 varied searches (trends, data, expert opinions, case studies, counterarguments).

Review findings against my success criteria.
Identify gaps. Search again to fill them.

Save a structured research brief to research-brief.md — organized by theme, with source URLs and key data points pulled out.

Prioritize 2025–2026 sources.
Flag anything where sources conflict or data is thin.

Step 2 — Brief

Read research-brief.md and turn it into a slide-by-slide outline.

Each slide gets:

A title

3 key points

Any specific data/stats from the research that must appear on that slide

Do not write full paragraphs — Gamma will generate the final text.
Just give it enough structure and data to work with.

Save the outline to gamma-outline.md.

Step 3 — Generate

Pass gamma-outline.md to Gamma as a presentation using textMode "generate".

Use theme: [your brand theme name]

After generating, remind me to review card by card:

Would I say this out loud?

Does this card earn its place?

Is the data right?
