## Short answer

**Can Claude Cowork turn my slides and notes into a recap thread for Bluesky?**

Yes. Claude Cowork reads the deck and your speaker notes, picks four key slides and the points that carry the talk, writes a recap thread with a post per point and saves it as one draft through Tareno. You export the slide images and confirm they are cleared. Scheduling stays pending until you approve it in Tareno.

After a conference talk, the slides go into a folder and the audience's attention goes elsewhere. A recap thread posted within a day catches the people who missed the talk and gives those who attended something to share. It takes an hour to build by hand: choosing slides, rewriting bullets as sentences, remembering what was said that is not on the slide. Claude Cowork works on shared files, which is what a deck and notes are, and Tareno saves a Bluesky thread as one draft. This page follows a speaker through a recap, with the clearance step for slides and the rule that the thread says what the talk said.

## Example: a speaker recaps a talk on accessible forms

Imagine a speaker who gave a 25-minute talk on accessible web forms. She shares the PDF of her 38 slides and her speaker notes in a Cowork task, along with the four slide images she exported. Cowork reads the deck and the notes and proposes five points that carry the talk, each tied to a slide. It notices that two slides contain screenshots of a client's site and flags them as not cleared. For the other points it writes a thread of one root post and five replies, finds the images with `list_media` and saves the thread with `create_drafts`. She checks every point against her notes before requesting a slot.

## Step by step

1. **Share the deck, the notes and the exported images.** Put the PDF, your notes and the four slide images in one Cowork task. Notes hold what you said that the slide does not, and that is usually the point.
2. **Flag slides that are not cleared.** Ask Cowork to list slides that show client sites, personal data or third-party material, and leave them out. The recap is public in a way a conference room is not.
3. **Choose five points.** Ask for the five points that carry the talk, each with the slide and the sentence of your notes it comes from. A recap that tries to cover 38 slides covers none.
4. **Write the thread.** Request a root post that states the talk's main claim and a reply per point, each within 300 characters. Tareno saves up to 24 replies after the root.
5. **Attach the slides and save.** Cowork finds the images with `list_media`, confirms the account with `list_accounts` and saves the thread as one draft through `create_drafts`. Bluesky posts take up to four images.
6. **Check against your notes and approve.** Read every point against your notes. Give a day, a time and an IANA time zone, and approve the pending request in the Tareno dashboard.

## Prompts to copy

### Find slides to leave out

```text
Read the PDF deck and list every slide that shows a client's site, a person's face or data, or a third-party image or logo, with the slide number. Tell me which of the remaining slides carry the talk's main claim, so I can export four of them as images.
```

### Pick the points

```text
Using my speaker notes, propose the five points that carry the talk. For each give the slide number, the sentence of my notes it rests on and a one-line statement of the point. If my notes do not support a slide's claim, say so instead of filling the gap.
```

### Write the recap thread

```text
Write a Bluesky recap thread for Tareno: a root post that states the main claim and one reply per point, each within 300 characters, in my voice. End with a reply that links the materials [URL]. Give me the character count of each post.
```

### Save the thread

```text
Use Tareno to find the slide images [forms-slide-04, 11, 19, 27] in my media library, confirm my Bluesky account [handle] and save the approved thread as one draft with each image on the post it illustrates. Return the draft ID, and request no time yet.
```

## Bluesky in Tareno

- Tareno saves a Bluesky thread as one draft, so a talk recap can place one slide image on each of four posts without replying by hand.
- Tareno's configuration for Bluesky allows up to four images per post, jpg, png, webp or gif, up to 2 MB each, so slide exports need a moderate resolution.
- Links get an automatic preview on Bluesky in Tareno's configuration, so the materials link in the last reply shows its title.
- Tareno does not read posts or replies on Bluesky, so questions the audience asks under the thread are read and answered in the app.

Official rules ([AT Protocol lexicons: app.bsky.feed.post and app.bsky.embed](https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages/api/lexicons/app/bsky), checked 2026-10-25):

- Post text is limited to 300 graphemes and 3,000 bytes, so an emoji counts as one grapheme but can use several bytes.
- A post can embed up to 4 images, each up to 2,000,000 bytes.
- Video embeds accept MP4 up to 300,000,000 bytes, with up to 20 caption files in WebVTT. Tareno's configuration is stricter: one MP4 of up to 180 seconds and 100 MB.

## Mistakes to avoid

- Showing a slide with a client's site. Leave it out, or ask for permission.
- Summarizing the slides instead of the talk. Notes carry what you said.
- Posting images above the size limit. Export slides at a moderate resolution.
- Writing alt text that repeats the slide title. Say what the slide shows and states.

## What does not work

- Claude Cowork cannot decide which slides are cleared for publication, so the speaker confirms before the images enter the library.
- It cannot read replies to the thread on Bluesky through Tareno, because Tareno does not expose posts or replies for Bluesky.
- It cannot publish the thread on its own, since a time request becomes a thread only after you approve it in the Tareno dashboard.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why share the speaker notes as well as the slides?

Because the slides hold the prompts and the notes hold the argument. A recap built only from slides repeats bullets, while one built from notes says what you said, which is what attendees remember.

### How does Cowork know which slides are sensitive?

It flags slides that appear to show client sites, faces, data or third-party logos, based on the deck's text and structure. It can miss things in images, so check every slide you export yourself.

### How many slide images fit in the thread?

Up to four per post in Tareno's configuration, each up to 2 MB, spread over as many posts as you like within the 25-post thread. Four to five images across the thread is enough for a recap.

### Can the thread link to the recording?

Yes. Links get an automatic preview on Bluesky in Tareno's configuration. Put the recording or slides link in the last reply, so the preview card closes the thread.

### Can Cowork add alt text to the slides?

Yes. Tareno takes alt text per media item, and Cowork can describe what each slide shows and states. Read each description against the slide, since a diagram needs more than its title.

### Will the recap appear without my approval?

No. A scheduling request becomes a pending action in Tareno, and Bluesky receives the thread only after you approve it in the dashboard. `get_action_status` shows what happened afterwards.

## Tareno tools used

- `list_media`
- `list_accounts`
- `create_drafts`
- `get_action_status`

Approval model: Tareno saves drafts directly. Scheduling, publishing, edits to scheduled posts and deletions become pending actions that a person approves in the Tareno dashboard; no agent can approve them.
