Claude-code-ultimate-guide talk-pipeline

Orchestrates the complete talk preparation pipeline from raw material to revision sheets, running 6 stages in sequence with human-in-the-loop checkpoints for REX or Concept mode talks. Use when starting a new talk pipeline, resuming a pipeline from a specific stage, or running the full end-to-end preparation workflow.

Talk Pipeline Orchestrator

Orchestrates the complete talk preparation pipeline — from raw material to revision sheets. Can run the full pipeline or a single isolated stage.

Modes

  • --rex
    : REX talk with git/code proof (changelog, commits, measured metrics)
  • --concept
    : Conceptual talk from article, ideas, notes (skips Stage 2)

Usage

/talk-pipeline                          # full pipeline, asks for context
/talk-pipeline --stage=extract          # run a single isolated stage
/talk-pipeline --rex                    # REX mode (git archaeology included)
/talk-pipeline --concept                # Concept mode (skip research)
/talk-pipeline --rex --slug=my-talk --event="Conf 2026" --date=2026-06-15 --duration=30

Context Collection

Ask with AskUserQuestion if not provided:

- slug         : kebab-case identifier (e.g., my-talk-topic)
- event        : event name (e.g., Conf 2026, Tech Meetup)
- date         : talk date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- duration     : duration in minutes (e.g., 30)
- audience     : audience profile (e.g., senior devs, tech leads, non-tech)
- type         : --rex or --concept
- source_path  : path to source material (article .mdx, transcript .md, notes)
- repo_path    : (REX only) path to git repository for archaeology

Workflow

  1. Collect context — AskUserQuestion for required metadata
  2. Route by mode — 
    --rex
    vs 
    --concept
    (skip Stage 2 if concept)
  3. Run Stage 1 — 
    /talk-stage1-extract
    — always first
  4. Run Stages 2-4 in parallel (after Stage 1 confirmed)
    • REX: extract → research + concepts + position (in parallel)
    • Concept: extract → concepts + position (in parallel, skip research)
  5. CHECKPOINT — wait for angle + title choice (Stage 4 output)
  6. Run Stage 5 — 
    /talk-stage5-script
    with validated choice
  7. Run Stage 6 — 
    /talk-stage6-revision
  8. Final summary — list all generated files with their paths

Stage Routing (--stage=X)

If 

--stage
is provided, run only the corresponding skill:

StageSkill to invoke
extract/talk-stage1-extract
research/talk-stage2-research
concepts/talk-stage3-concepts
position/talk-stage4-position
script/talk-stage5-script
revision/talk-stage6-revision

Output Naming Convention

Final Summary Format

After Stage 6 completes, display:

Pipeline complete. Files generated:

Stage 1 — Extract:
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-summary.md

Stage 2 — Research (REX only):
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-git-archaeology.md
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-changelog-analysis.md
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-timeline.md

Stage 3 — Concepts:
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-concepts.md
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-concepts-enriched.md (if repo available)

Stage 4 — Position:
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-angles.md
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-titre.md
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-descriptions.md
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-feedback-draft.md

Stage 5 — Script:
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-pitch.md
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-slides.md
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-kimi-prompt.md   ← copy-paste into kimi.com

Stage 6 — Revision:
  ✓ talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-revision-sheets.md

Next step: open kimi-prompt.md, verify no {PLACEHOLDER} remains, paste into kimi.com.

Anti-patterns

  • Do not run Stage 5 without an explicit angle + title choice from the user
  • Do not run Stage 2 (research) in 
    --concept
    mode
  • Do not proceed to the next stage if an upstream stage failed
  • Do not invent metrics or dates not present in the source material

Validation

  • All upstream files exist before launching a downstream stage
  • Stage 4 CHECKPOINT respected before script
  • Outputs named per convention 
    talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-{stage}.md
  • No empty placeholders in generated files

Tips

  • The orchestrator is the recommended entry point for first use
  • For repeat users who know the pipeline, running individual stage skills is faster
  • The 
    --stage=X
    flag is useful for rerunning a single stage without redoing the full pipeline
