```text
Save this as a reusable skill called [SKILL NAME, e.g. Client deck polish]. Every time I run it on a deck, do these steps in order. 1. Rewrite every slide title so it states the takeaway in 8 words or fewer. 2. Set all body text to [YOUR FONT, e.g. Aptos], no smaller than 18 point. 3. Split any slide with more than [MAX BULLETS, e.g. 5] bullets into two slides. 4. Add a closing slide that says [YOUR CLOSING LINE, e.g. Book a call at tidewell.com] with my contact details. 5. List any slide with a missing image, a typo or a number that doesn't match the rest of the deck. Show me what you changed before you finish, so I can undo anything I don't want.
