Oria Workflow Skill: A Reusable Instruction-Deck Template for Faster Slide Production

What It Produces

A .pptx where:

• Each slide contains one plain-text instruction block
• The text is clean and consistent (no complex formatting)
• The deck is already built on your corporate template

You can open that deck in PowerPoint, run Oria slide by slide, and convert each instruction block into a designed slide. The structure is predictable, so iterating is faster and outcomes are more consistent.

What You Need to Provide

You'll need a branded .pptx template (one blank slide with the right placeholders) and your content in any format (doc, outline, bullets, notes). Optionally, you can describe target audience, slide count, naming conventions.

Why It Is Useful

• Reduces prompt rewriting across projects
• Keeps slide inputs consistent across a team
• Speeds up the path from raw content to a first, branded draft
• Makes review cycles cleaner because each slide has an explicit intent

How to Use It: Step by Step

1. Download the Markdown file using the link below. Open it in any text editor or directly in your LLM interface.
2. Prepare your template. Open PowerPoint, create a single blank slide using your corporate template, and save it as a .pptx file. This is the canvas Oria will build on.
3. Gather your content. This can be an outline, a document, bullet points, meeting notes, or even raw text from a strategy session. The format does not matter; the workflow will structure it.
4. Paste the workflow into your LLM (Claude, ChatGPT, or any model that can output .pptx). Attach your template file and content. The workflow will prompt the model to produce one instruction block per slide.
5. Review the instruction deck. Open the output .pptx and scan each slide. Every slide should contain a single, clear text block describing what the final designed slide should look like.
6. Run Oria slide by slide. Open the instruction deck in PowerPoint, activate Oria, and convert each instruction into a designed slide. Because the instructions are structured and predictable, Oria produces consistent, high-quality output with minimal iteration.

Tips for Better Results

• Be specific about slide types. Instead of "make a summary slide," write "executive summary with three key takeaways, each with a supporting metric." The more concrete the instruction, the better Oria interprets it.
• One idea per slide. The workflow enforces this, but if you are tempted to merge two concepts onto one slide, resist. Two focused slides are always clearer than one overloaded one.
• Name your audience. Adding "for the board" or "for the project sponsor" in the workflow metadata changes the tone and level of detail in the output.
• Iterate the instructions, not the design. If a designed slide is off, go back to the instruction text first. Rewriting one sentence in the instruction block is faster than re-prompting Oria multiple times.
• Reuse across projects. Once you have a workflow file tuned for your team's style, save it as a shared template. New projects start from a known baseline instead of a blank prompt.
