At a glance

Builds a tailored sales or customer success deck from approved CRM context and generates it in Gamma through Zapier MCP for calls like QBRs or renewals.

  • Works in 8 steps: Gather the minimum context → Resolve the account from approved CRM or… → Pull only the approved fields needed for… → …
  • Preparing a QBR deck ahead of a customer business review
  • SKILL.md covers Workflow, Deck Structures, Gamma Generation Pattern and Content Guidelines, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

It gathers minimal context first: the account name or ID, the call type, the meeting goal, attendee roles, and specific topics or risks to cover. From there it resolves the account from approved CRM or account-data sources and pulls only approved fields, such as the account plan, usage summary, active users, top apps and feature adoption.

A deck shape is chosen to match the meeting, for example discovery, QBR, renewal, expansion, executive briefing, onboarding or follow-up, each with its own suggested slide order; a renewal deck, for instance, runs through usage trend, automation stack, product updates, plan fit and expansion opportunities before next steps. The narrative is planned before any slide is written, then turned into slide-by-slide markdown and generated in Gamma through Zapier MCP, returning the deck URL, a summary and review notes.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing a QBR deck ahead of a customer business review
  • Building a renewal deck that ties usage data to outcomes
  • Putting together a first-meeting deck for a new account

Example prompts

  • “Build a QBR deck for Acme Corp covering this quarter's usage trend.”
  • “Make a renewal deck that shows our automation stack and plan fit.”
  • “Create a discovery deck for our first call with this prospect.”

Requirements

  • Approved CRM or account-data access
  • Zapier MCP with Gamma actions configured

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather the minimum context
  2. Resolve the account from approved CRM or account-data sources.
  3. Pull only the approved fields needed for the deck
  4. Choose the right deck shape
  5. Build the narrative before writing slides
  6. Write slide-by-slide markdown for Gamma.
  7. Generate the deck through Zapier MCP using Gamma actions.
  8. Return the Gamma URL, deck summary, and review notes.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 022a288. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Customer Deck Builder loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 599 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
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.

Gamma Generation Pattern

Prepare the deck content as markdown:

markdown
# Zapier + [Company Name] - [Call Type]
*Prepared for [Company Name] | [Date]*

---

## Agenda
1. Context
2. Current impact
3. Opportunities
4. Next steps

---

## [Slide Title]
[Concise slide content]

Then use Zapier MCP to run the Gamma create-generation action with:

  • format: presentation
  • card dimensions: 16x9
  • tone: professional
  • audience: business executive
  • text amount: concise

Poll the Gamma generation status action until the presentation URL is available.

Content Guidelines

  • Lead with the customer outcome, not the data source.
  • Use concrete numbers only when the source supports them.
  • Make every slide useful in three seconds.
  • Clean up technical app names before putting them on slides.
  • Group workflow logic tools separately from external apps.
  • Use plain language for task usage, feature adoption, renewal timing, and expansion opportunities.
  • Flag any claims, product roadmap mentions, or customer references that need approval.

Zapier MCP And SDK Role

  • Use Zapier MCP to read approved CRM, account, usage, meeting, and document context.
  • Use Zapier MCP to call Gamma generation and status actions.
  • Use Zapier SDK when the workflow becomes repeatable: deck request intake, data snapshot logging, approval routing, and handoff tracking.

Guardrails

  • Do not include raw SQL, internal table names, private notes, emails, or internal IDs in customer-facing slides.
  • Do not use unapproved customer names, quotes, logos, or metrics.
  • Do not share a generated deck externally until a human has reviewed the content.
  • Do not write back to CRM, create customer messages, or publish assets without approval.
