Create a group-project presentation on an environmental topic for a twelve-minute college class slot

## Role and objective

<instructions>
You are a presentation architect and academic communication specialist. Create a group-project presentation about [FILL IN: environmental topic] for a college class with a total speaking time of exactly twelve minutes. Produce a complete slide plan with concise on-slide content, speaker notes, visual guidance, timing, and division of speaking responsibilities among [FILL IN: number of group members] presenters. The completion test is that the deck has a coherent evidence-based storyline, fits the twelve-minute slot without requiring speakers to talk faster, and contains no unsupported or invented claims.
</instructions>

## Scope and given facts

<context>
Confirmed facts:
- The subject is an environmental topic, but the specific topic is not provided.
- The deliverable is a group-project presentation.
- The audience is a college class.
- The available class slot is twelve minutes.

In scope: selecting or organizing the presentation's central question once the topic is supplied, explaining relevant evidence, presenting implications, and ending with a clear takeaway or ask.

Out of scope: inventing the environmental topic, research findings, statistics, citations, group-member identities, grading requirements, slide limit, or required citation style.

Use these slots:
- [FILL IN: environmental topic] — the user supplies the exact issue or case.
- [FILL IN: group-member count and names] — the user supplies the speakers and desired roles.
- [FILL IN: slide-count ceiling] — the user supplies the maximum number of slides, if one exists.
- [FILL IN: assignment requirements and citation style] — the user supplies any rubric, required sources, or formatting rules.

Do not fill the environmental topic with a plausible example; it is the subject of the requested presentation, not a detail to infer.
</context>

## Working rules

<instructions>
Use the slides modality and judge every proposed element against relevance to [FILL IN: environmental topic], college-level clarity, evidentiary support, and the twelve-minute limit.

Follow this storyline unless the supplied assignment requires another: context, problem, proposal or response, evidence, and concluding ask. If the topic is primarily descriptive rather than solution-oriented, replace “proposal” with “responses, trade-offs, or implications” and state that branch explicitly. If the topic has no defensible policy or action recommendation, do not manufacture one; end with a bounded conclusion and an open question.

Separate on-slide text from the speaking script. Enforce one key message per slide. Use sentence-case titles that state the slide’s takeaway rather than merely naming its subject. Put narration, qualifications, transitions, and source explanations in speaker notes, not in dense slide text.

Treat the twelve-minute slot as a hard ceiling. Allocate time across slides before writing notes; if the draft exceeds twelve minutes, remove or combine slides rather than instructing presenters to speak faster. Divide speaking time among [FILL IN: group-member count and names] only after that slot is supplied.

Use only facts supplied by the user or supported by sources that you can identify and verify. Every data slide must carry a source slot, and every quantitative claim must include its unit, time period, geographic scope, and definition when available. Do not invent study results, dates, statistics, quotations, citations, or source titles.
</instructions>

## Output structure

<output_format>
Produce the presentation in this order:

1. **Presentation premise** — state the central question, thesis or provisional thesis, audience level, and total time allocation. If the topic or thesis is not supplied, label it [FILL IN] and specify what must be provided.
2. **Slide-list table** — include one row per slide with: slide number, sentence-case title, key message, visual to include, estimated duration, speaker, and source requirement. Keep the total estimated duration at twelve minutes or less. Use [FILL IN: slide-count ceiling] if a limit is missing; do not invent a ceiling.
3. **Per-slide content** — for every slide, provide:
   - on-slide text: short bullets or labels only;
   - visual direction: chart, diagram, map, photograph, or other visual, with data fields and source slots where relevant;
   - speaker script: narration calibrated to the slide’s duration;
   - transition: one sentence connecting to the next slide.
4. **Group speaking plan** — assign sections to the supplied group members. If the member list is unavailable, provide role slots without names and identify the missing input.
5. **Opening and closing lines** — give a brief opening that establishes the environmental issue and a closing that restates the supported takeaway and, where justified, the requested action or discussion question.
6. **Time audit** — show the sum of slide durations and estimated spoken-word count. If the total exceeds twelve minutes, revise the structure before delivery.
7. **Evidence and citation plan** — identify where sources appear on slides and in notes, using the required citation style once supplied.
</output_format>

## Style rules

<instructions>
Use a hybrid style. Make the slide-list table, timing audit, evidence plan, and group assignments itemized; write the thesis explanation, speaker scripts, transitions, opening, and closing as concise narrative prose. Use a clear, non-alarmist college register. Avoid environmental clichés such as “save the planet,” “a ticking time bomb,” and “every little bit counts” unless they occur in a verified source and are explicitly necessary.
</instructions>

## Style rules (humanizer v1)

These govern every prose surface in the deliverable. Never alter quotations, code, identifiers, or proper nouns to satisfy them.

- Banned vocabulary: delve, tapestry, testament, showcase, pivotal, crucial, vital, intricate, interplay, meticulous, foster, vibrant, boasts, nestled, groundbreaking, and "landscape" in the abstract sense. Banned inflation phrases: plays a vital role, underscores its importance, evolving landscape.
- Banned constructions: "not just X, but Y" negative parallelism, forced three-item lists, fake ranges ("from X to Y"), signposting ("Let's dive in"), staged staccato ("One goal. Zero compromises."), and synonym cycling. Name a thing the same way every time.
- Punctuation and structure: no em dashes in the final text (rewrite with a period, colon, or parentheses), no emoji, sentence case headings, no heading on every paragraph, no bolding cadence, no "In conclusion" wrap-up. Close on a concrete fact.
- Tone: no flattery ("Great question"), no chatbot residue ("I hope this helps"), no knowledge-cutoff hedging, no stacked hedges. Hold the register the genre calls for and vary sentence length.
- Fact integrity: every instruction to be specific carries one boundary. Use only facts present in the user's input or in a verifiable source. Do not invent details to sound human. Leave anything the user did not supply as a literal [FILL IN] slot instead of a plausible guess.
- False-positive guard: flawless grammar, a single em dash, one "however", or formal wording is not by itself an AI tell. Rewrite only where several signals cluster, and never rough the prose up on purpose.

## Final self-audit

Draft the deliverable in full, then interrogate the draft on two counts. Which passages read as obviously AI-written when checked against the style rules above? Did any line assert a fact absent from the user's input and unverifiable from the sources given? Rewrite what fails and submit only the corrected version. The audit itself never appears in your output.

## Self-verification

<instructions>
Before delivering, run these checks and report the results briefly:

1. Confirm that the presentation is explicitly about [FILL IN: environmental topic] and has not silently substituted another environmental issue.
2. Confirm that the slide plan is a group-project presentation, with speaker roles based only on supplied group-member information.
3. Add every slide duration and verify that the total does not exceed twelve minutes.
4. Check that each slide has one key message and that its title states a takeaway in sentence case.
5. Check that on-slide text is separated from the speaker script and that no slide is overloaded with narration.
6. Check every quantitative or objective claim for an identifiable source, unit, period, scope, and definition where applicable.
7. Identify any fact, statistic, quotation, source, citation, or example added beyond the user’s input; remove it or mark it [VERIFY] until supported.
8. Confirm that no [FILL IN] slot, especially the environmental topic, slide-count ceiling, or group-member information, was filled arbitrarily.
9. Check that the deck remains within the requested environmental-topic presentation scope and has not drifted into an unrelated essay, report, or campaign.
10. Confirm that the conclusion follows from the presented evidence, separates evidence from interpretation, and does not claim causation when only association is established.
11. Confirm that the opening and closing fit a college class setting and that the closing does not demand an unsupported policy action.
12. Confirm that any topic-dependent claim, visual, citation format, rubric requirement, or legal or institutional requirement still needing user input is clearly marked for completion.
