Pitch Deck Skill

Pitch Deck Advisor — Agent Skill

🇷🇺 [Документация на русском](README.ru.md)

An open-source [Agent Skill](https://agentskills.io) that teaches Claude, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI and any other agent supporting the open `SKILL.md` standard how to **build, review, and improve investor pitch decks** — with deep specialization in **high-tech / deep-tech projects**.

The skill distills guidance from Y Combinator (Kevin Hale's "Legible, Simple, Obvious"), Sequoia Capital's business-plan template (the one behind Airbnb's famous deck), a16z practice, DocSend's research on 200,000+ investor interactions, and deep-tech funds (Khosla Ventures, Julian Capital / Deep Checks, Hard2beat).

What it does

• Create mode — builds a slide-by-slide deck outline (assertion headlines, ~50-word slide content, speaker notes) around the 5–7 ideas an investor must remember, calibrated to your stage (pre-seed / seed / Series A).
• Review mode — audits an existing deck: the 3-minute test, 18 automatic red flags (NDA requests, exit slides, "no competitors", valuation, vanity metrics…), structural gaps, and form issues — each with a concrete fix.
• Slide surgery — rewrites individual slides (problem, market sizing, traction, team, ask).
• Deep-tech aware — scientific vs. engineering risk, "proven vs. to prove", IP/moat slides, milestone-based derisking, blended FOAK financing, beachhead markets.
