What is the Story Circle framework used in this skill?

The Story Circle is an eight-step narrative structure that helps map a technical journey from the status quo through disruption and experimentation to a final solution and insight.

Do I need to be an expert to use this skill?

Not at all. The skill is designed to help you organize your existing knowledge into a compelling story, focusing on your approach to solving a specific problem.

How does the skill handle code snippets on slides?

It formats code blocks with proper syntax highlighting and strategically breaks long examples across multiple slides to ensure maximum readability for live audiences.

Can I use this for non-technical talks?

While optimized for technical storytelling, the narrative framework and slide generation work effectively for any topic that follows a problem-solution arc.

Does it support slide software other than iA Presenter?

This skill specifically generates markdown formatted for iA Presenter's unique syntax, but the generated narrative outline can be easily adapted for other presentation tools.
