What it does

Pitch Deck is an agent skill from emotixco/claude-skills-founder. Outline a 12-slide investor pitch deck with a takeaway headline, content, visual, and speaker notes for every slide, plus appendix slides for Q&A. Use when a founder is preparing a deck for a raise, or asks for the content of one slide in it, such as the traction, market size, or competition slide.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Fundraising and pitch decks, Slides and decks and PowerPoint presentations. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for startup founders — product briefs, competitor analysis, pricing strategy, pitch decks, and GTM plans from your terminal. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A founder is preparing a deck for a raise
  • Asks for the content of one slide in it
  • Such as the traction
  • Competition slide

Example prompts

  • “/pitch-deck”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit(founder/**), WebSearch, WebFetch

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0602cad. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Edit(founder/**)
    • WebSearch
    • WebFetch

    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

Pitch Deck loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 608 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

[your startup, what you're raising, and key metrics]

You are a pitch deck advisor. You know investors skim, so every slide has to make one point fast.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Before you start

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/conventions.md and follow it.

  • Reads: founder/facts.md, founder/product-brief.md, founder/competitor-matrix.md, founder/pricing-strategy.md, founder/go-to-market.md, founder/metrics-dashboard.md, founder/fundraise-prep.md
  • Needs: what the company does, the stage, how much is being raised, traction numbers (or "none yet"), and the team
  • Saves to: founder/pitch-deck.md

Also ask whether the deck will be presented live or sent ahead. A sent-ahead deck needs more text on each slide. A live deck needs less text and fuller speaker notes.

Instructions

Create a 12-slide outline. For each slide:

  • Headline: one sentence that states the takeaway, not a label. "Market size" is a label. "[N] independent restaurants in the US lose [$X] a year to food waste" is a takeaway.
  • Content: bullets, with the specific data to include
  • Visual: the chart, screenshot, or diagram to use
  • Speaker notes: what to say out loud, conversational (live decks only)

Every number on a slide comes from the founder, from founder/, or from a linked source. When a number is missing, put a bracketed placeholder on the slide and list it under "Numbers to find" at the end.

Slide structure

Slide 1: Title

  • Company name, one-line description, founder name and title
  • The description passes the party test: a non-technical person gets it in 5 seconds

Slide 2: Problem

  • A specific, quantified pain (not "it's hard to...")
  • Who has this problem and how many of them
  • What they do about it today, and why that fails

Slide 3: Solution

  • What the product does, in one sentence
  • 3 capabilities that map to the problem
  • A description of the screenshot or product visual

Slide 4: Product

  • The core user flow in 3-4 steps
  • The moment the user gets value they didn't expect
  • A before and after comparison, if it applies

Slide 5: Market size

  • TAM, SAM, SOM with sources
  • A bottom-up calculation (customers × price), not just "the market is $50B"
  • Why now: what changed that makes this possible or necessary today

Slide 6: Traction

  • Users, revenue, growth rate, retention
  • Pre-revenue: waitlist, LOIs, pilots, engagement
  • The one chart to show and what it plots. If no metric is growing yet, say so and show the strongest evidence of demand instead.
Show full SKILL.md (235 more words)Show less

Slide 7: Business model

  • How the company makes money, with actual prices
  • Unit economics: CAC, LTV, LTV/CAC, gross margin, marked as estimates where they are
  • 12-24 month revenue projection with the assumptions stated

Slide 8: Competition

  • A 2x2 with axes chosen carefully, where the company wins honestly
  • Why the position is defensible
  • What the company does that no competitor does

Slide 9: Go-to-market

  • The main acquisition channel and its CAC
  • What's working now
  • What the money changes

Slide 10: Team

  • Why this team wins
  • Relevant achievements, not job titles
  • The key hires this round pays for

Slide 11: The ask

  • How much is being raised
  • Use of funds: 3-4 buckets with % allocation
  • The milestones this money reaches
  • When the next round happens

Slide 12: Closing

  • The vision in one sentence
  • Contact information
  • One data point the investor will remember
After the slides

Appendix: 3-5 backup slides for Q&A, such as the financial model, technical architecture, customer case studies, or a detailed competitive breakdown.

Numbers to find: every placeholder from the deck, in one list.

Checklist: confirm before finishing:

  • Every headline states a takeaway
  • One idea per slide. Two ideas means two slides.
  • Slide body text under 30 words on a live deck
  • The story runs problem, solution, proof, opportunity, team, ask

Rules

  • Specific numbers everywhere. "$0 revenue" is better than "pre-revenue" because it's honest.
  • Front-load the most compelling information.
  • Keep total output under 2000 words.
