Talk Pipeline Skills

6-stage skill pipeline that transforms raw material (article, transcript, notes) into a complete conference talk with AI-generated slides.

Install

Copy the talk-pipeline/ directory to your project's .claude/skills/ folder:

bash

cp -r examples/skills/talk-pipeline ~/.claude/skills/

Or install only the stages you need (each stage is independent).

Stages

Stage	Skill file	Mode	Description
1	`stage-1-extract/SKILL.md`	REX + Concept	Extract source material into structured summary
2	`stage-2-research/SKILL.md`	REX only	Git archaeology + timeline
3	`stage-3-concepts/SKILL.md`	REX + Concept	Scored concept catalogue
4	`stage-4-position/SKILL.md`	REX + Concept	Angles, titles, descriptions + CHECKPOINT
5	`stage-5-script/SKILL.md`	REX + Concept	5-act pitch + slides spec + Kimi prompt
6	`stage-6-revision/SKILL.md`	REX + Concept	Revision sheets + Q&A cheat-sheet
—	`orchestrator/SKILL.md`	REX + Concept	Run the full pipeline from one invocation

Quick Start

Full pipeline (recommended):

code

/talk-pipeline

The orchestrator asks for metadata and runs all applicable stages.

Single stage:

code

/talk-stage1-extract
/talk-stage4-position

With flags:

code

/talk-pipeline --rex --slug=my-talk --event="Conf 2026" --duration=30
/talk-pipeline --concept --slug=my-idea

Output convention

All files land in talks/ at your project root:

code

talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-summary.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-git-archaeology.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-concepts.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-angles.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-pitch.md
talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-kimi-prompt.md
...

Using the Kimi prompt

Stage 5 generates {slug}-kimi-prompt.md. To generate slides:

Open the file and verify no {PLACEHOLDER} remains
Go to kimi.com (free, no API needed)
Copy-paste the entire prompt
Kimi generates a dark-theme presentation with your slide content
