What it does

Presentation Design is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Designs slide decks and one-pagers that carry an argument rather than decorate one — deck structure, headlines that state the takeaway, charts that make a single point, and the different rules board decks and conference talks follow. Use this to build or fix a pitch deck, board deck, or conference talk, to design a one-pager, or when a deck is dense, unfocused, or being read aloud from the slides. For social graphics, carousels and infographics, use marketing:visual-content instead.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Slides and decks, OKRs and executive reporting and Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Slides and decks
  • Tasks that involve OKRs and executive reporting
  • Tasks that involve Fundraising and pitch decks

Example prompts

  • “Use the presentation-design skill to design slide decks and one-pagers that carry an argument rather than decorate one — deck structure, headlines…”
  • “/presentation-design”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Open with the change in the world that makes this matter now.
  2. State the problem in the audience's terms, not yours.
  3. The argument, in the smallest number of steps that hold.
  4. The evidence — one chart per claim, not a dashboard.
  5. The ask, stated explicitly. A deck that ends without an ask was a briefing.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Presentation Design loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 669 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Decks

The deck is not the talk. Slides that contain the argument make the speaker redundant and the reader confused. Decide which artifact you are making — a spoken-support deck or a read-alone document — because they have opposite rules and the hybrid fails at both.

One idea per slide. If a slide needs a sub-argument, it is two slides. The cost of an extra slide is zero; the cost of a crowded one is that nothing on it lands.

Structure carries more than styling:

  1. Open with the change in the world that makes this matter now.
  2. State the problem in the audience's terms, not yours.
  3. The argument, in the smallest number of steps that hold.
  4. The evidence — one chart per claim, not a dashboard.
  5. The ask, stated explicitly. A deck that ends without an ask was a briefing.

On slides: headline states the takeaway, not the topic — "Churn concentrates in month two," not "Churn analysis." If the reader only reads headlines, they should get the argument.

Charts: one message each, labeled directly rather than through a legend, with the axis honest. Strip everything that is not carrying information.

Board decks and conference talks follow different rules

The structure above is shaped for persuasion to a room you are in. Two of the artifacts this skill is asked for are not that.

A board deck is read before the meeting, not presented at it. It goes out days ahead and is expected to be read, so it has to stand alone — which makes it the read-alone document, not the spoken-support deck.

  • Separate what is for decision from what is for information, and say which is which on the page. A board meeting spent walking through updates is a board meeting with no decisions in it.
  • Keep the format identical period over period. The value of a board pack is comparison across time, and a redesign destroys it. Same sections, same order, same metrics with the same definitions.
  • Lead with what is not working. A pack that buries the problem on page nineteen costs credibility permanently once someone finds it, and they do.
  • Bring the open question, not only the resolved one. A board shown finished thinking cannot help and eventually stops trying.

For how the meeting itself should be run and what belongs at which cadence, see operations:operating-cadence; for what has to be formally recorded, legal-risk:corporate-governance.

A conference talk is a performance with visual support, and it fails in the opposite direction from a board pack.

Show full SKILL.md (248 more words)Show less
  • Fewer words than feels safe. Slides are read faster than you speak, so text competes with you and wins. Images, one phrase, a single number.
  • Design for the back of a large room and for the bottom third being invisible behind heads.
  • The talk has to survive the projector — assume poor contrast and bad color reproduction, and never rely on a subtle tonal difference to carry meaning.
  • Nothing on a slide should require the handout to be understood. If the deck will be shared afterward, that is a second artifact, not the same one.

One-pagers

A single surface has one job: get one idea across at a glance, and reward a closer read.

  • Establish a focal point immediately — largest element, most contrast, positioned where the eye lands first.
  • Hierarchy in three levels at most. More reads as noise.
  • Everything aligns to a grid, including the things that look like exceptions.
  • Design for where it will actually be read. A page printed and handed across a table, attached to an email, and projected in a room impose different minimum type sizes, and the one you designed on screen at full width is usually the least representative of the three.

Social graphics, carousels and infographics are a different job with different constraints — the feed decides how they are seen. marketing:visual-content covers them.

Never

  • Read the slide aloud.
  • Use a chart type because it is interesting rather than because it fits the comparison.
  • Let a template's layout decide your argument's structure.
