Talk Stage 4: Position + CHECKPOINT

演讲筹备第4阶段:定位 + 检查点

Generates strategic angles, titles, descriptions, and a peer-feedback draft. Then stops and waits for your angle + title choice before Stage 5 can proceed.
生成策略角度、标题、描述以及同行反馈草稿,随后停止运行并等待你选定角度和标题,再继续进行第5阶段。

When to Use This Skill

何时使用此技能

  • After Stage 3 (Concepts) — needs the concept catalogue
  • When deciding how to frame the talk
  • Before sending the CFP (uses the generated descriptions directly)
  • 第3阶段(概念梳理)完成后——需要用到概念目录
  • 确定演讲内容框架时
  • 提交CFP(会议征稿)前——可直接使用生成的描述内容

What This Skill Does

此技能的功能

  1. Reads inputs — summary + concepts + event constraints
  2. Generates angles — 3-4 distinct angles with force/weakness analysis
  3. Recommends — one clear choice with structured justification
  4. Generates titles — 3-5 options per angle
  5. Generates descriptions — short abstract + long CFP description
  6. Generates feedback draft — ready-to-send message (3 formats)
  7. CHECKPOINT — displays choice request and waits for user response
  8. Saves 4 files
  1. 读取输入内容——摘要+概念+活动限制要求
  2. 生成演讲角度——3-4个不同的角度,附带优劣势分析
  3. 给出推荐——明确推荐最优选项,并附结构化的理由说明

CHECKPOINT (mandatory — Step 7)

检查点(强制要求——第7步)

After generating and saving the 4 files, display:
---
CHECKPOINT: Angle + Title choice

I've generated 4 files:
- talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-angles.md    → {n} angles analyzed
- talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-titre.md     → {n} title options
- talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-descriptions.md
- talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-feedback-draft.md

Before starting the script (Stage 5), I need your choice:

1. Which angle do you choose? (recommended: Angle {X} — {name})
2. Which title do you prefer? (recommended: "{title}")

You can also modify, combine, or propose something different.
Reply to start the script.

Do not invoke Stage 5 without explicit user confirmation.

Angle Generation Rules

角度生成规则

  • Minimum 3 angles, maximum 4 (beyond that it's noise)
  • Each angle must be genuinely distinct (not variations of the same)
  • The recommendation must be clear and argued — not "your choice"
  • Always test: "can this angle sustain the full duration without repeating?"
  • 最少3个角度,最多4个(超过会造成信息冗余)
  • 每个角度必须完全不同(不能是同一个角度的变体)
  • 推荐内容必须清晰且有论据支撑,不能仅给出“自行选择”的说明
  • 始终验证:“这个角度能否支撑整个演讲时长,不会出现内容重复?”

Anti-patterns

反面案例

  • Click-bait titles ("What nobody tells you about AI")
  • Recommending the last angle listed by default (recency bias)
  • Descriptions that read like slide summaries
  • Skipping the CHECKPOINT — it's the pipeline's most important control point
  • Marketing language in descriptions (revolutionary, game-changer)
  • 标题党式标题("What nobody tells you about AI")
  • 默认推荐最后列出的角度(近因偏差)
  • 描述内容读起来像幻灯片摘要
  • 跳过检查点——它是整个工作流最重要的控制点
  • 描述中使用营销话术(revolutionary、game-changer这类词汇)

Validation Checklist

验证清单

  • 3-4 angles with force/weakness/audience-fit analysis
  • Clear recommendation with structured justification
  • 3-5 titles for the recommended angle
  • Short description (~100 words) and long description (~250 words)
  • Feedback draft generated from template
  • CHECKPOINT displayed clearly
  • 4 files saved
  • 3-4个角度,附带优劣势/受众匹配度分析
  • 明确的推荐内容,附带结构化理由说明
  • 为推荐角度提供3-5个可选标题
  • 短篇描述(约100字)和长篇描述(约250字)
  • 基于模板生成的反馈草稿
  • 清晰展示检查点提示
  • 4个文件已保存

Tips

小贴士

  • Send
    feedback-draft.md
    to a peer before the checkpoint — 10 minutes of external feedback can save hours of rework on the script
  • The recommendation is a starting point, not an order — your audience knowledge overrides any algorithmic suggestion
  • Weak titles are usually too abstract: test each title by asking "would someone in the hallway stop walking to read this?"
  • 在检查点之前将
    feedback-draft.md
    发送给同行——10分钟的外部反馈可以节省数小时的脚本返工时间
  • 推荐内容仅作为起点,不是硬性要求——你对受众的了解比任何算法建议都更有效
  • 不合格的标题通常过于抽象:可以通过提问“走廊里的人看到这个标题会不会停下来阅读?”来测试每个标题的吸引力
