What it does

Board Deck Narrative is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Build the storyline and slide structure for a board presentation. Use when asked to create a board deck, board presentation narrative, board meeting slides, or quarterly board update. Produces a complete slide-by-slide structure with narrative beats, talking points, and slide content guidance.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/what-boards-actually-read.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering OKRs and executive reporting and Slides and decks. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to create a board deck
  • Board presentation narrative
  • Board meeting slides
  • Quarterly board update

Example prompts

  • “/board-deck-narrative”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Board Deck Narrative loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,025 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.4k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Board Deck Narrative Skill

This skill builds the complete narrative and slide structure for a board presentation — from opening framing to closing asks. It produces slide-by-slide content guidance, not just a list of topics.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Company stage and context (Seed / Series A / Growth — and where you are in the year)
  • Board meeting type (Regular quarterly / Annual / Special / Fundraise-related)
  • Key themes for this meeting (e.g. strong growth quarter / pivoting strategy / hiring challenge / fundraise update)
  • Key metrics to feature
  • Decisions needed from the board (if any)
  • Time available (e.g. 60 min / 90 min)
  • Audience (investors only / investors + independent directors / mixed)

Output Structure


Board Deck Narrative: [Company] — [Quarter/Period]

Meeting type: [Regular quarterly / Special] Time: [X minutes] Narrative theme: [The one-sentence story of this quarter — e.g. "We hit our revenue target, but activation is the problem we need to solve together."]


Opening Frame (Slide 1–2)

Slide 1: Title

  • Company name, quarter, date
  • One-sentence framing of the meeting's narrative arc

Slide 2: Agenda

  • List of sections + time allocation
  • Flag which sections need board input vs. are informational

Presenter note: Board members are busy. Tell them in the first 2 minutes what you need from them today. It changes how they listen.


Business Performance (Slides 3–6, ~15 min)

Slide 3: Scorecard / KPI Dashboard

  • Content: Key metrics vs. targets for the quarter. No more than 6 metrics.
  • Format: Traffic-light table (Green / Amber / Red against plan)
  • Narrative: [1–2 sentences — the headline story of the quarter in numbers]
  • Don't hide reds. Boards lose trust when they discover hidden problems later.

Slide 4: Revenue / Growth Deep Dive

  • Content: Revenue breakdown by segment, cohort retention, growth drivers
  • Key message: [What the data shows about the health of growth]
  • Call out: [Any trend that needs board context or discussion]

Slide 5: Unit Economics

  • Content: CAC, LTV, payback period, gross margin — vs. last quarter and vs. plan
  • Flag: Any metric moving in the wrong direction and what's causing it

Slide 6: Operational Highlights

  • Content: 3–5 bullet points of the most significant things that happened this quarter
  • Format: Each bullet = outcome, not activity. ("Signed 3 enterprise contracts worth £400K ARR" not "Continued enterprise sales motion")

Strategic Update (Slides 7–9, ~15 min)

Slide 7: Strategy Snapshot

  • Content: Where you said you'd be vs. where you are against the annual plan
  • Narrative: [Honest assessment — what's on track, what's shifted and why]

Slide 8: Key Strategic Decision or Update

  • Content: The one strategic topic that most needs board input this meeting
  • Format: Context → Options considered → Recommendation → Question for board
  • This is the highest-value 10 minutes of the meeting. Frame it as a real question.

Slide 9: Product & Roadmap (if relevant)

  • Content: Top 3 product bets this quarter — what shipped, what's coming, why these bets
  • Tailored for: What the board needs to understand to support strategic decisions, not a sprint review

People & Organisation (Slide 10, ~5 min)

Slide 10: Team Update

  • Content: Headcount (start vs. end of quarter), key hires made, open roles, any org changes
  • Flag: Any people risks or leadership gaps the board should know about
  • Don't skip this slide. Board members often have network value here.

Financial Update (Slides 11–12, ~10 min)

Slide 11: P&L Summary

  • Content: Revenue, gross margin, opex by category, EBITDA/net burn — actual vs. budget
  • Include: Year-to-date vs. annual plan

Slide 12: Cash & Runway

  • Content: Cash on hand, monthly burn rate, runway at current burn
  • Include: Scenario if burn increases (e.g. key hire made), scenario if growth accelerates
  • Flag immediately: If runway is < 18 months — this needs board awareness and planning

Show full SKILL.md (437 more words)Show less

Closing & Asks (Slides 13–14, ~10 min)

Slide 13: Priorities for Next Quarter

  • Content: Top 3–5 priorities and what success looks like for each
  • Format: Priority | What we're doing | How we'll know it worked
  • Keeps board accountability consistent across meetings

Slide 14: Board Asks

  • Content: Specific things you need from board members before next meeting
  • Format: Each ask = specific, named if possible ("Looking for an intro to [Company] — [Board member X], do you have a connection?")
  • A board meeting without specific asks is a missed opportunity

Appendix (Optional)

  • Detailed cohort analysis
  • Competitive landscape update
  • Full P&L
  • Team org chart
  • Any supporting data referenced in the main deck

Appendix slides are available but not presented. Board members who want detail can ask.


Narrative Principles

  • Lead with honesty. If it was a hard quarter, say so in the first slide. Don't bury bad news after the wins.
  • One slide = one idea. If a slide has two messages, split it.
  • Fewer slides, more depth. A 14-slide deck presented well beats a 35-slide deck rushed through.
  • Every slide has a "so what." A slide that just shows data without a takeaway wastes board time.
  • Leave time for discussion. Board value is in the conversation, not the presentation. Aim to spend 40% of the meeting presenting and 60% in discussion.

Deeper Materials

Quality Checks

  • Opening frame states the meeting's narrative theme
  • Scorecard slide uses traffic-light format (not just green metrics)
  • Strategic decision slide frames a real question for the board
  • Financial slide includes runway explicitly
  • Board asks are specific and actionable
  • Deck is ≤ 15 slides (excluding appendix)

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not bury bad news after slides full of good news — boards lose trust when they discover problems were de-emphasised; lead with the honest narrative
  • Do not include slides without a "so what" — a chart that shows data without a takeaway wastes board time and signals the presenter hasn't done the analysis
  • Do not exceed 15 slides in the main deck — a longer deck usually means the presenter hasn't decided what matters most
  • Do not attend a board meeting without at least one specific ask — a board meeting with no asks is a missed opportunity to leverage the room
  • Do not report metrics without comparing them to plan or a prior period — a metric shown in isolation gives the board no basis for judgement

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Build a board deck structure for our Q[N] board meeting"
  • "Help me create the narrative for our board presentation"
  • "Write the slide structure for our annual board review"
  • "Design a board deck for [specific context — e.g. fundraise update]"
