presenter-notes
Write presenter notes that actually help mid-talk — cue-grain phrases instead of scripts, the transitions and numbers that deserve verbatim capture, the timing marks that keep the talk on schedule, and the Q&A crib built in. Use when asked write my speaker notes, I either script everything or wing it, what goes in the notes pane, or I keep running over time. Produces the notes at cue grain, the verbatim-worthy lines, the timing marks, and the Q&A crib.

# Presenter Notes Skill Speaker notes fail at both extremes: the full script (read aloud, killing the delivery it was meant to save — audiences hear reading in one sentence) and the blank pane (winging it, losing the transitions, blowing the timing, garbling the one number that mattered). The working notes are *cue-grain*: per slide, the point in a phrase, the 2–3 beats in order, and — captured verbatim because paraphrase ruins them — the transitions ([deck-narrative-arc](../deck-narrative-arc/SKILL.md) thread sentences), the precise numbers with their caveats, and the opening/closing lines. Plus the two things notes are uniquely positioned to hold: timing marks and the Q&A crib. ## What This Skill Produces - **The cue notes** — per slide: the point-phrase, the beats, the exit line - **The verbatim set** — transitions, numbers-with-caveats, the open and the close — the only full sentences allowed - **The timing marks** — where the talk should be at T/4, T/2, 3T/4, and the designated skippable slides if behind - **The Q&A crib** — the likely questions with answer-beats and appendix pointers ([exec-vs-working-deck](../exec-vs-working-deck/SKILL.md) appendix indexing) ## Required Inpu

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill presenter-notes --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
