PCL-Lite — Usage Guides

This page is the index of usage guides: how to use each bootstrap and where to generate or paste output (copy-paste or same chat).


Two ways to use PCL-Lite (text-only vs multimodal AI)

PCL-Lite always gives you text in the chat: prompts, scripts, specs, structure. What you do next depends on your AI:

  • If your AI doesn't generate image / video / audio / slides: copy the output from the chat and paste it into a dedicated tool (DALL·E, Runway, ElevenLabs, Google Slides, etc.). Each guide lists where to paste with direct links.
  • If your AI is multimodal (e.g. ChatGPT with DALL·E, Gemini with image/video, or any chat that can generate image/video/audio/slides in the same session): you can use the PCL-Lite output in the same chat. Ask for a prompt or script with /persona, then paste that prompt or script into the image/video/audio/slides feature of the same AI.

See Text-only vs multimodal for details.

Workflow (text-only AI): Chat (PCL-Lite) → get text → copypaste into external tool → get asset.
Workflow (multimodal AI): Chat (PCL-Lite) → get prompt/script/specs → use it in the same chat or copy-paste to an external tool — your choice.


Guides by bootstrap

Guide Bootstrap Use case Where to paste output
Standard bootstrap_lite_en.md / FR Architecture, dev, DevOps, teams No paste step (text only)
Image bootstrap-image/ Visual design, illustrations, brand, a11y DALL·E, Midjourney, Ideogram, etc. — see guide
Video bootstrap-video/ Scripts, storyboards, captions, delivery Runway, Synthesia, Descript, CapCut, etc. — see guide
Audio bootstrap-audio/ Podcast, voiceover, sound design, transcripts ElevenLabs, Descript, Murf, etc. — see guide
Slides bootstrap-slides/ Presentations, pitch decks, speaker notes Google Slides, Gamma, Canva, etc. — see guide

How to use a guide

  1. Choose the bootstrap that matches your task (Standard, Image, Video, Audio, or Slides).
  2. Open the corresponding guide and the bootstrap file (same language: EN or FR) from the repo.
  3. Copy the entire bootstrap into your AI chat (first message).
  4. Wait for confirmation (e.g. "PCL-Lite … Ready").
  5. Use /persona commands and ask for what you need (prompt, script, deck structure, etc.).
  6. If your AI can generate (image/video/audio/slides): use that output in the same chat. If not: copy the output and paste it into the tool linked in the guide.

Where to run PCL-Lite (chat)

Chats: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Cursor — paste the bootstrap, then use /persona commands. The chat gives you text (prompts, scripts, specs). If your chat is multimodal, use that text in the same chat; otherwise each guide lists where to generate (with links) so you can copy-paste into an external tool.
