What it does

Exec Vs Working Deck is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Stop presenting the working deck to executives — the two-deck split (answer-first exec cut vs. exploration-rich working deck), the compression rules from 40 slides to 8, and the appendix strategy that keeps the depth one click away. Use when asked turn this analysis into an exec version, my leadership readout went badly, how do I compress 40 slides to 10 minutes, or what do execs actually want in a deck.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Documents & Office, covering 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.

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

Exec Vs Working Deck loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 716 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~141
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

description
Stop presenting the working deck to executives — the two-deck split (answer-first exec cut vs. exploration-rich working deck), the compression rules from 40 slides to 8, and the appendix strategy that keeps the depth one click away. Use when asked turn this analysis into an exec version, my leadership readout went badly, how do I compress 40 slides to 10 minutes, or what do execs actually want in a deck. Produces the exec cut with the answer-first order, the compression map (what survived, where the rest went), and the Q&A appendix plan.

Exec Vs Working Deck Skill

The working deck — forty slides of exploration, methodology, and dead ends — is a diary of the analysis. Presenting it to executives narrates the journey chronologically, landing the answer at slide 34 of a meeting that ended attention-wise at slide 6. The exec cut inverts the geometry: the answer first (slide 2 at the latest), the three pieces of evidence that carry it, the risks and the ask — 6–10 slides — with the working deck demoted to appendix, where it does its real executive job: existing, as the visible proof of rigor behind every Q&A answer ("slide 24 has that cohort — here").

What This Skill Produces

  • The exec cut — answer-first, 6–10 slides, built from the working deck's strongest material
  • The compression map — every working-deck section: promoted / compressed to a line / appendixed / cut
  • The appendix strategy — the Q&A-ordered depth, indexed so retrieval is instant in the room
  • The two-deck discipline — when each artifact is used, so the working deck stops leaking into exec rooms

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The working deck (or analysis) — the source material; the cut is extraction, not new writing
  • The answer, committed: the exec cut requires the author to have a conclusion — "here's what we found, you decide" working decks first need the conclusion conversation (executive-summary BLUF discipline; no cut can rescue an uncommitted analysis)
  • The executives' currencies — what this audience weighs (growth? risk? cost?) — the three surviving evidence pieces are chosen in their currency
  • The likely hard questions — each one gets its appendix slide, pre-ordered by likelihood

Framework: The Split Rules

  1. Answer at slide 2: slide 1 orients (the question we set out to answer), slide 2 answers it, unhedged — everything after is evidence, risk, and the ask. The chronological reveal ("first we looked at…") is the working deck's structure leaking; executives fund conclusions, not journeys.
  2. Three evidence pieces, chosen not accumulated: the working deck's twelve supporting analyses compress to the three that carry the most weight in the audience's currency — each as one deck-outline-first claim-slide. The other nine live in the appendix, alive and retrievable, not deleted (slide-density-rules redistribution, applied at deck scale).
  3. Methodology becomes one line plus a pointer: "12 cohorts, 18 months, methodology in appendix A" — rigor gets asserted and evidenced-on-demand, not walked through. The exception: when the method IS the controversy (a contested model), it earns one slide, framed as the credibility answer.
  4. Risks and the ask close, always: the exec cut ends with the risks conceded (proposal-skeleton objections logic) and the specific ask — decision, resource, date. Working decks trail off into "next steps"; exec cuts land on a decision point.
  5. The appendix is a product, not a dump: ordered by question-likelihood (the hard questions' slides first), each appendix slide self-sufficient and findable in seconds ("slide 24" said confidently is worth two slides of preemptive defense). The in-room move — answer briefly, offer the depth — makes the appendix's existence do the persuading.

The Appendix Plan

[Q&A-ordered: likely question → its slide · the index card for in-room retrieval]

Quality Checks

  • The answer lands by slide 2, unhedged
  • Exactly three evidence pieces survived, chosen in the audience's currency
  • Methodology compressed to assertion-plus-pointer (unless it's the controversy)
  • The cut ends in risks and a specific ask
  • The appendix is question-ordered and indexed for live retrieval

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not present the diary — the journey structure is for the team that took it
  • Do not hedge the answer to seem balanced — the risks slide is where balance lives; slide 2 is where the answer does
  • Do not delete the depth — appendixed rigor answers Q&A; deleted rigor becomes "we'll get back to you"
  • Do not walk through methodology uninvited — assert, evidence on demand
  • Do not build the exec cut before committing to the answer — compression can't rescue an analysis that won't conclude

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Turn this analysis into an exec version."
  • "My leadership readout went badly."
  • "How do I compress 40 slides to 10 minutes?"
  • "What do execs actually want in a deck?"
