Copy-paste this prompt to turn a messy doc into a clean, one-idea-per-slide outline

```
 I'm pasting a document below. Turn it into a presentation outline. 
 
Do NOT follow the document's order or headings. Rebuild from first principles:
 1. Read the whole thing and identify the single core argument.
 2. Identify the 4-7 points that argument actually needs. Discard everything else, even if it's interesting.
 3. Sequence those points so each one sets up the next. 
 
For each point, output:
 - Slide headline: the takeaway as a full assertive sentence
 - 2-3 bullets: only the evidence that supports THAT headline 
 
Cut anything that's context, throat-clearing, or repetition. If the doc says the same thing three ways, keep the clearest one.

Why it works: the failure mode with document-to-slides is "shadow-mirroring", where the model copies the source's layout instead of designing a new one. Explicitly telling it to ignore the doc's order and extract the core argument first forces a real restructure. The "discard interesting things" line matters more than it looks, because most bloated decks are bloated out of a fear of leaving stuff out. 
 
Example: I ran a 2,000-word strategy memo through this and it collapsed to six slides that actually built on each other, versus the fourteen flat slides I got asking directly. 
 
Curious if the "discard even if interesting" instruction survives for other people or if your model keeps sneaking the extra points back in.
