Workflow
Copy this checklist and check off items as you complete them:
Slide Deck Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Setup & Analyze
- [ ] 1.1 Load preferences
- [ ] 1.2 Analyze content
- [ ] 1.3 Check existing ⚠️ REQUIRED
- [ ] Step 2: Confirmation ⚠️ REQUIRED (Round 1, optional Round 2)
- [ ] Step 3: Generate outline
- [ ] Step 4: Review outline (conditional)
- [ ] Step 5: Generate prompts
- [ ] Step 6: Review prompts (conditional)
- [ ] Step 7: Generate images
- [ ] Step 8: Merge to PPTX/PDF
- [ ] Step 9: Output summary
Flow
Input → Preferences → Analyze → [Check Existing?] → Confirm (1-2 rounds) → Outline → [Review Outline?] → Prompts → [Review Prompts?] → Images → Merge → Complete
Step 1: Setup & Analyze
1.1 Load Preferences (EXTEND.md)
Check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
test -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:- $HOME/ .config} /baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md" && echo "xdg"
test -f "$HOME /.baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"
if ( Test-Path . baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND. md) { "project" }
$xdg = if ( $env :XDG_CONFIG_HOME) { $env :XDG_CONFIG_HOME } else { "$HOME /.config" }
if ( Test-Path "$xdg /baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md" ) { "xdg" }
if ( Test-Path "$HOME /.baoyu-skills/baoyu-slide-deck/EXTEND.md" ) { "user" }

When EXTEND.md Found → Read, parse, output summary to user :
📋 Loaded preferences from [full path]
├─ Style: [preset/custom name]
├─ Audience: [audience or "auto-detect"]
├─ Language: [language or "auto-detect"]
└─ Review: [enabled/disabled]
When EXTEND.md Not Found → First-time setup using AskUserQuestion or proceed with defaults.
EXTEND.md Supports : Preferred style | Custom dimensions | Default audience | Language preference | Review preference
Schema: references/config/preferences-schema.md
1.2 Analyze Content
Save source content (if pasted, save as source.md)
Backup rule : If source.md exists, rename to source-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md
Follow references/analysis-framework.md for content analysis
Analyze content signals for style recommendations
Detect source language
Determine recommended slide count
Generate topic slug from content
1.3 Check Existing Content ⚠️ REQUIRED
MUST execute before proceeding to Step 2.
Use Bash to check if output directory exists:
test -d "slide-deck/{topic-slug}" && echo "exists"
If directory exists , use AskUserQuestion:
header: "Existing"
question: "Existing content found. How to proceed?"
options:
- label: "Regenerate outline"
description: "Keep images, regenerate outline only"
- label: "Regenerate images"
description: "Keep outline, regenerate images only"
- label: "Backup and regenerate"
description: "Backup to {slug}-backup-{timestamp}, then regenerate all"
- label: "Exit"
description: "Cancel, keep existing content unchanged"
Save to analysis.md with:
Topic, audience, content signals
Recommended style (based on Auto Style Selection)
Recommended slide count
Language detection
Step 2: Confirmation ⚠️ REQUIRED
Two-round confirmation : Round 1 always, Round 2 only if "Custom dimensions" selected.
Language : Use user's input language or saved language preference.
Display summary :
Content type + topic identified

Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Stakeholder Communication Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
✓ Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead
Implementation Guide Prerequisites
› Claude Desktop or compatible AI client › Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.) › Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.) › Stakeholder contact information and communication channels Time Estimate
30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements
Steps
1 Install product management skill 2 Start with user story generation for known feature 3 Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors 4 Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring 5 Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback 6 Build template library for recurring PM tasks 7 Share effective prompts with product team Common Pitfalls
⚠ Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing ⚠ Accepting user stories without involving engineering team ⚠ Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment ⚠ Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style ⚠ Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements Best Practices ✓ Do
+ Validate research and competitive analysis with real data + Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements + Customize frameworks and templates to your company context + Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input + Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks + Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition ✗ Don't
− Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking − Don't finalize user stories without engineering review − Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring − Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements − Don't ignore company-specific context and culture 💡 Pro Tips
★ Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback ★ Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap' ★ Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec' ★ Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs When to Use This ✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
Learning Path 1 Basic: user stories, feature specs, status updates 2 Intermediate: competitive analysis, prioritization frameworks, PRDs 3 Advanced: product strategy, go-to-market planning, OKR setting 4 Expert: product vision, market positioning, business model innovation Reviews 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 71 reviews
