## What it does

The skill collects details about your product, business model, and target market through a guided conversation. It organizes the collected points into a standard 10-slide deck format and writes them to a `pitch_data.json` file. Only the company name is mandatory. Everything else, from traction numbers to team backgrounds, can be filled in or omitted.

Generation runs via `scripts/create_pitch_deck.py` using Python 3. The script outputs a formatted `.pptx` file with blue `#2962FF` accents, gray `#646464` text, and up to 3–5 bullet points per slide. Without a local Python 3 setup and the bundled script, you will not get an exported file. Fine-grained visual polishing will still require manual work in PowerPoint.

# Pitch Deck Generator

## Overview

Generate professional PowerPoint pitch decks following industry best practices. This skill creates structured presentations for fundraising, sales, and business development using a proven 10-slide format.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when users request:
- Investor pitch decks for fundraising
- Sales or business development presentations
- Product launch presentations
- Startup pitch competition decks
- Any structured business presentation following standard pitch deck format

## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Information

Collect necessary information from the user to populate the pitch deck. Use a conversational approach to gather details across the following categories:

**Required information:**
1. **Company basics**: Company name, tagline (one-liner describing what you do)
2. **Problem**: What problem are you solving? Include data or statistics if available
3. **Solution**: How does your product/service solve the problem? Key features and benefits
4. **Business model**: How do you make money? Pricing, revenue streams

**Recommended information** (include if available):
5. **Market opportunity**: Market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), growth rate, market trends
6. **Product details**: Product features, screenshots, technology highlights
7. **Traction**: Key metrics, revenue, users, growth rate, milestones, customer testimonials
8. **Competition**: Competitors, competitive advantages, differentiation
9. **Team**: Founders and key team members with relevant background
10. **Financials & Ask**: Funding amount, use of funds, financial projections, milestones

**Approach:**
- Ask open-ended questions to understand the business
- Probe for specific metrics and data points when possible
- For missing information, offer to create placeholder slides that can be updated later
- Adapt the standard 10-slide structure based on available information

### Step 2: Structure the Content

Organize the gathered information into the standard pitch deck structure:

1. **Title Slide**: Company name + tagline
2. **Problem**: Pain point being addressed
3. **Solution**: Product/service overview
4. **Market Opportunity**: Market size and growth
5. **Product**: Features and capabilities
6. **Traction**: Metrics and achievements
7. **Business Model**: Revenue and pricing
8. **Competition**: Competitive landscape
9. **Team**: Key people
10. **Financials & Ask**: Funding request and projections

**Reference best practices:** For detailed guidance on each slide's content and structure, consult `references/pitch_deck_best_practices.md`. Search for specific sections using grep:

```bash
grep -A 10 "### [Slide Number]. [Slide Name]" references/pitch_deck_best_practices.md
```
