What it does

Pitch Deck Creation is an agent skill from manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin. Create professional investor pitch decks with structured content and visual design. Use when users need help with pitch deck, investor deck, fundraising deck, startup pitch, deck design, slide design, pitch presentation, pitch deck visuals, investor presentation, Series A deck, seed deck, or VC deck. Covers the full workflow: gathering company info, structuring narrative, generating a PowerPoint via script, and applying visual best practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/pitch_deck_best_practices.md` and `scripts/create_pitch_deck.py`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Fundraising and pitch decks. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Users need help with pitch deck
  • Fundraising deck
  • Pitch presentation
  • Pitch deck visuals

Example prompts

  • “/pitch-deck-creation”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Information
  2. Create pitch_data.json
  3. Generate the PowerPoint
  4. Review and Iterate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0830a46. 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:

    • python3
    • pip3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip3, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Creation loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 829 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4k

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.

description
Create professional investor pitch decks with structured content and visual design. Use when users need help with pitch deck, investor deck, fundraising deck, startup pitch, deck design, slide design, pitch presentation, pitch deck visuals, investor presentation, Series A deck, seed deck, or VC deck. Covers the full workflow: gathering company info, structuring narrative, generating a PowerPoint via script, and applying visual best practices.

Pitch Deck Creation

Workspace Context

Read bootstrap context before asking questions: strategy/brand.md for brand, audience, offer, channels, tools, constraints, and metrics; about/me.md for personal voice; content/ideas.md and content/calendar.md for content planning. Use legacy product-marketing context files only as fallback. Save generated drafts to content/<platform>/drafts/YYYY-MM-DD_short-topic-slug.md, and route durable learnings back to strategy/brand.md, about/me.md, or content/ideas.md.

Operating Contract

This skill is self-contained for its frontmatter scope: use its local instructions, references, scripts, and assets as the playbook; ask only for missing task-specific inputs; hand off to adjacent skills instead of expanding scope; and return an actionable artifact, decision, plan, draft, or diagnostic.

Generate professional investor-ready pitch decks. This skill covers both the narrative structure (what goes on each slide) and the visual design rules (how it should look), then produces a .pptx file via a bundled Python script.

Deck Structure

Use the 12-slide framework — total ~6 minutes. Never exceed 20 slides.

Detailed slide guidance: consult references/pitch_deck_best_practices.md for content rules, examples, and common mistakes for each slide type.

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Gather Information

Ask the user conversationally. Probe for specific metrics and data.

Required:

  • Company name and tagline (one sentence)
  • Problem being solved (with data/stats if available)
  • Solution and key features

Recommended (include if available):

  • Market size (TAM/SAM/SOM) and growth rate
  • Traction: revenue, users, growth %, milestones
  • Business model: pricing, revenue streams, unit economics
  • Competition: competitors and your differentiators
  • Team: founders and key hires with relevant background
  • Financials & Ask: amount, use of funds, runway, milestones

For missing info, offer placeholder slides that can be updated later.

Step 2: Create pitch_data.json

Format collected information as JSON for the generation script:

json
{
  "company_name": "Company Name",
  "tagline": "One-line description",
  "problem": [
    "Problem statement with data",
    "Impact/urgency statement"
  ],
  "solution": [
    "How the product solves the problem",
    "Key feature 1 and its benefit",
    "Unique value proposition"
  ],
  "market": [
    "TAM: $X total addressable market",
    "SAM: $X serviceable market",
    "SOM: $X obtainable market"
  ],
  "product": ["Feature 1", "Feature 2", "Tech highlights"],
  "traction": ["Revenue: $X (YY% growth)", "Users: X,XXX active", "Key milestone"],
  "business_model": ["Revenue model", "Pricing: $XX/month", "CAC, LTV, margins"],
  "competition": {
    "our_advantages": ["Advantage 1", "Unfair advantage"],
    "competitors": ["Competitor 1", "Competitor 2"]
  },
  "team": [
    "CEO: Name - relevant experience",
    "CTO: Name - built X at Y"
  ],
  "financials": [
    "Raising: $X seed/Series A",
    "Use of funds: XX% eng, XX% sales",
    "Milestones with this funding"
  ]
}

Notes: all fields are optional except company_name; competition can be an object (two-column layout) or a plain array.

Step 3: Generate the PowerPoint
bash
python3 scripts/create_pitch_deck.py pitch_data.json output_filename.pptx

Requires python-pptx: pip3 install python-pptx

The script produces a .pptx with consistent formatting, color scheme, and typography — ready for presentation or manual customization.

Step 4: Review and Iterate
  • User updates pitch_data.json with new info, re-runs the script
  • For design beyond the script, advise manual editing in PowerPoint
  • PDF export: File → Save As → PDF (for sharing)
  • Presentation timing: ~10–15 minutes for 10–12 slides

Tailoring for Audience

Seed/early-stage investor deck: emphasize problem, solution, market size, and team; show early traction; clear funding ask.

Growth-stage / Series A deck: lead with traction and revenue metrics; detailed unit economics; strong competitive moat story.

Sales / BD deck: de-emphasize fundraising; focus on customer ROI, case studies, and testimonials.

Product launch deck: highlight product features and market need; include demo screenshots; emphasize innovation.
