# Pitch Deck Content Generator
Analyze the codebase and documentation to generate structured content for a pitch deck, grounded in what the product actually does.
## Steps
1. **Deep product discovery**:
- Read `README.md` for the product overview and stated value proposition.
- Read `package.json`, `Cargo.toml`, `pyproject.toml`, or equivalent for product metadata.
- Glob for `**/docs/**`, `**/wiki/**`, `**/about*` for additional context.
- Grep for pricing-related patterns (`plan`, `tier`, `price`, `subscription`, `free`, `pro`, `enterprise`).
- Grep for analytics/metrics patterns (`track`, `event`, `analytics`, `metric`, `count`).
2. **Analyze technical architecture** for talking points:
- Glob for infrastructure files (`Dockerfile`, `docker-compose*`, `*.tf`, `serverless*`).
- Grep for database and storage technologies.
- Grep for third-party integrations and APIs.
- Identify the tech stack from dependencies.
3. **Generate slide content** for each standard pitch deck section:
**Slide 1: Title**
- Product name and one-line description.
- Tagline (under 8 words, benefit-driven).
**Slide 2: Problem**
- Define the problem in 2-3 bullet points.
- Include a "status quo" description that the audience can relate to.
- Quantify the problem if possible (time wasted, money lost, errors made).
**Slide 3: Solution**
- Describe the solution in plain language (no jargon).
- Include a "how it works" in 3 steps.
- Map each step to actual product functionality found in the code.
**Slide 4: Demo Talking Points**
- List 3-5 key workflows to demonstrate.
- For each workflow, note: what to show, what to say, what makes it impressive.
- Order from most impactful to least.
**Slide 5: Market Opportunity**
- Identify the target market based on product functionality.
- Suggest TAM/SAM/SOM framing (note: these will need real market data).
- List 2-3 market trends that create tailwinds for this product.
**Slide 6: Business Model**
- Infer the business model from code signals (pricing tiers, subscription logic, API rate limits).
- If no pricing code exists, suggest 2-3 viable monetization strategies based on the product type.
**Slide 7: Traction & Metrics**
- Extract any metrics from code: number of API endpoints, supported integrations, test count, supported platforms.
- Suggest which metrics to track and present (even if current data is not in the code).
- Frame technical metrics as business signals (e.g., "47 API endpoints" → "comprehensive platform coverage").
**Slide 8: Competitive Advantages**
- Identify technical moats from the architecture (proprietary algorithms, unique data, network effects).
- List 3-5 differentiators grounded in actual code capabilities.
- Frame each as a defensible advantage, not just a feature.
**Slide 9: Team Slide Suggestions**
- Grep for contributor information (`CONTRIBUTORS`, `AUTHORS`, git config).
- Suggest what expertise to highlight based on the tech stack complexity.
- Recommend which technical achievements to call out.
**Slide 10: Ask**
- Suggest what to ask for based on the product stage.
- Recommend how to frame next milestones.
4. **Generate speaker notes** for each slide with timing suggestions (aim for 3-4 minutes total for a 10-slide deck).
## Rules
- Ground every claim in actual codebase evidence. If something is inferred, mark it as "[Inferred]".
- Use plain, non-technical language suitable for investor audiences.
- Mark placeholders clearly where real data is needed (e.g., "[Insert monthly active users]").
- Do not fabricate metrics — use "[TBD]" for data that must come from the team.
- Keep bullet points to 3-5 per slide maximum.
- Each slide should convey one key idea.How It Works
Pitch decks are high-stakes documents where the gap between what the product actually does and what the founder says it does can be embarrassing. This skill closes that gap by deriving pitch content from the codebase itself — every claim maps to a real capability.
The demo talking points section is especially practical. Instead of a vague "show the dashboard," the skill identifies specific workflows in the code and scripts what to show and say for each. This turns a potentially awkward live demo into a structured narrative.
The traction slide is where many early-stage founders struggle. By extracting technical metrics from the code (endpoints, integrations, test coverage, supported platforms), the skill provides concrete numbers that signal product maturity even before there are revenue metrics. Framing "47 API endpoints" as "comprehensive platform coverage" teaches founders to translate technical progress into investor-friendly language.
