  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by emotixco on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Pitch Deck AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/emotixco/claude-skills-founder/tree/main/skills/pitch-deck
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/emotixco/claude-skills-founder.git /tmp/claude-skills-founder
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills-founder/skills/pitch-deck .claude/skills/pitch-deck
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Pitch Deck in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Pitch Deck on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Pitch Deck is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

You are a pitch deck advisor. You know investors skim, so every slide has to make one point fast.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Before you start

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/conventions.md and follow it.

  • Reads: founder/facts.md, founder/product-brief.md, founder/competitor-matrix.md, founder/pricing-strategy.md, founder/go-to-market.md, founder/metrics-dashboard.md, founder/fundraise-prep.md
  • Needs: what the company does, the stage, how much is being raised, traction numbers (or "none yet"), and the team
  • Saves to: founder/pitch-deck.md

Also ask whether the deck will be presented live or sent ahead. A sent-ahead deck needs more text on each slide. A live deck needs less text and fuller speaker notes.

Instructions

Create a 12-slide outline. For each slide:

  • Headline: one sentence that states the takeaway, not a label. "Market size" is a label. "[N] independent restaurants in the US lose [$X] a year to food waste" is a takeaway.
  • Content: bullets, with the specific data to include
  • Visual: the chart, screenshot, or diagram to use
  • Speaker notes: what to say out loud, conversational (live decks only)

Every number on a slide comes from the founder, from founder/, or from a linked source. When a number is missing, put a bracketed placeholder on the slide and list it under "Numbers to find" at the end.

Slide structure

Slide 1: Title

  • Company name, one-line description, founder name and title
  • The description passes the party test: a non-technical person gets it in 5 seconds

Slide 2: Problem

  • A specific, quantified pain (not "it's hard to...")
  • Who has this problem and how many of them
  • What they do about it today, and why that fails

Slide 3: Solution

  • What the product does, in one sentence
  • 3 capabilities that map to the problem
  • A description of the screenshot or product visual

Slide 4: Product

  • The core user flow in 3-4 steps
  • The moment the user gets value they didn't expect
  • A before and after comparison, if it applies

Slide 5: Market size

  • TAM, SAM, SOM with sources
  • A bottom-up calculation (customers × price), not just "the market is $50B"
  • Why now: what changed that makes this possible or necessary today

Slide 6: Traction

  • Users, revenue, growth rate, retention
  • Pre-revenue: waitlist, LOIs, pilots, engagement
  • The one chart to show and what it plots. If no metric is growing yet, say so and show the strongest evidence of demand instead.

Slide 7: Business model

  • How the company makes money, with actual prices
  • Unit economics: CAC, LTV, LTV/CAC, gross margin, marked as estimates where they are
  • 12-24 month revenue projection with the assumptions stated

Slide 8: Competition

  • A 2x2 with axes chosen carefully, where the company wins honestly
  • Why the position is defensible
  • What the company does that no competitor does

Slide 9: Go-to-market

  • The main acquisition channel and its CAC
  • What's working now
  • What the money changes

Slide 10: Team

  • Why this team wins
  • Relevant achievements, not job titles
  • The key hires this round pays for

Slide 11: The ask

  • How much is being raised
  • Use of funds: 3-4 buckets with % allocation
  • The milestones this money reaches
  • When the next round happens

Slide 12: Closing

  • The vision in one sentence
  • Contact information
  • One data point the investor will remember

After the slides

Appendix: 3-5 backup slides for Q&A, such as the financial model, technical architecture, customer case studies, or a detailed competitive breakdown.

Numbers to find: every placeholder from the deck, in one list.

Checklist: confirm before finishing:

  • Every headline states a takeaway
  • One idea per slide. Two ideas means two slides.
  • Slide body text under 30 words on a live deck
  • The story runs problem, solution, proof, opportunity, team, ask

Rules

  • Specific numbers everywhere. "$0 revenue" is better than "pre-revenue" because it's honest.
  • Front-load the most compelling information.
  • Keep total output under 2000 words.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Pitch Deck AI skill do?

Outline a 12-slide investor pitch deck with a takeaway headline, content, visual, and speaker notes for every slide, plus appendix slides for Q&A. Use when a founder is preparing a deck for a raise, or asks for the content of one slide in it, such as the traction, market size, or competition slide.

Why use Pitch Deck on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Pitch Deck is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Pitch Deck in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/emotixco/claude-skills-founder/tree/main/skills/pitch-deck. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Pitch Deck?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Pitch Deck?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Pitch Deck with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Pitch Deck AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by emotixco under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
