What it does

Pitch Deck Reviewer is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Score a pitch deck's structure and content against YC, Sequoia, and a16z heuristics. Use before sending a deck to investors, practicing a pitch, or reviewing a seed or Series A fundraising deck.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/deck_summary_template.md`, `references/pitch_deck_heuristics.md` and `scripts/deck_structure_scorer.py`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Fundraising and pitch decks

Example prompts

“/pitch-deck-reviewer”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Summarize each slide as one bullet in deck_summary.md (slide number + title + 1-2 sentences of content)
Run: python scripts/deck_structure_scorer.py deck_summary.md
Address gaps; iterate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pitch Deck Reviewer loads about 878 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 387 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~878
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Pitch Deck Reviewer

Score a pitch deck's structure against the YC / Sequoia / a16z heuristics.

Note: This evaluates structure, not content quality. A perfectly-structured deck for a bad business is still a bad pitch. But a poorly-structured deck for a great business often gets passed.

Keywords

pitch deck, pitch, fundraise, fundraising, seed deck, Series A deck, investor deck, slide deck, YC, Y Combinator, Sequoia, a16z

Clarify First

Before scoring the deck, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

Funding stage — seed vs Series A sets the required-slide rubric (--stage flag) and what counts as a gap
Slide-by-slide summary — one bullet per slide (number + title + 1-2 sentences); vague summaries produce false gaps
Round context — amount raising and traction stage, so the "ask" and "traction" slides are judged against the right bar

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Quick Start

Summarize each slide as one bullet in deck_summary.md (slide number + title + 1-2 sentences of content)
Run: python scripts/deck_structure_scorer.py deck_summary.md
Address gaps; iterate

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Pre-Send Deck Review

Summarize deck slide-by-slide in deck_summary.md
Run scorer
Add missing slides (the scorer flags by category)
Re-order if structure flow is off
Pair with documents/pptx-toolkit/ for actual pptx audit

Time Estimate: 1-2 hours per major deck iteration.

Show full SKILL.md (148 more words)Show less

Workflow 2: First Deck Build (No Existing Deck)

Read references/pitch_deck_heuristics.md
Use the structure rubric (10-15 slides covering specific topics)
Draft slide-by-slide
Validate as Workflow 1

Time Estimate: 1-2 weeks for first complete draft.

Tools

deck_structure_scorer.py

Reads a markdown file describing the deck slide-by-slide and scores it against required slides per stage.

bash

python scripts/deck_structure_scorer.py deck_summary.md
python scripts/deck_structure_scorer.py deck_summary.md --json

# For Series A
python scripts/deck_structure_scorer.py deck_summary.md --stage series-a

Stages: seed (default), series-a.

Reference Guides

references/pitch_deck_heuristics.md — YC, Sequoia, a16z deck structure heuristics; common mistakes; stage differences

Templates

assets/deck_summary_template.md — Slide-by-slide summary template

Best Practices

One idea per slide. If you can't summarize it in one sentence, split it.
Numbers, not adjectives. "Strong growth" is weak. "$80k → $312k MRR over 12 months" is strong.
Order matters. Most decks under-invest in problem framing and the "why now" slide.
Don't ship 30+ slides. A seed deck is 10-12 slides; a Series A deck is 12-15.
Demo is not the deck. Decks introduce; demos persuade. Plan both.
