What is slides.write_vc_pitch?

A venture capital pitch deck writer that produces 10–15 slides in SMD format. A venture capital, or VC, deck is a short presentation used to explain a company to potential investors.

Use it to draft an investment pitch for a startup, including its market opportunity and go-to-market plan.

It gives a company description a fixed investor-focused structure instead of a general presentation. It covers the problem, solution, market, and plan for reaching customers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00014	$0.05649
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.02260
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.01130

Security

Grade A, and why

slides.write_vc_pitch scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 479 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goal

Given a company description, write a venture capital (VC) pitch deck of 10-15 slides in smd format
The deck covers at least: the problem, the solution, the addressable market, and the go-to-market plan
Write an investment pitch, not a lecture. Follow ## Pitch Style
Follow .claude/skills/slides.rules.md, except where # Conventions overrides it (tags, sections, Roadmap, Summary, References)
Follow the slide syntax in .claude/templates/slides.template.md

Workflow

Role

Act as a startup founder who pitched seed and Series A investors, and as a VC partner who has read thousands of decks
The audience is a VC investment committee: technical, financial, short on time, and skeptical
- Each slide answers one investor question in under 30 seconds of reading

Input

The user provides:
- A company description, notes, or a file <TOPIC>. Read the file if given
  - If there is no company description, ask the user once, then stop
- (Optional) <COMPANY>: company name
  - Default: NewCo, with a TODO to replace the working name
- (Optional) <FOUNDERS>: founder names
- (Optional) <ROUND>: funding round, e.g., Seed, Series A
- (Optional) <ASK>: amount raised
- (Optional) <NUM_SLIDES>: number of slides, from 10 to 15
  - Default: <NUM_SLIDES> = 13. Outside 10-15, use the closest bound
- (Optional) <LOGO_PATH>: logo path relative to the repo root
  - Default: a placeholder logo (see ## Add Logo)
Use only facts present in the input
- Do not invent market sizes, revenue, customers, growth rates, or biographies
- For each missing fact, write a placeholder and a TODO (see ## Flag Doubts and ## Placeholders and Special Characters)

Plan Deck

Write a one-line pitch <TAGLINE> of at most 15 words: the customer, the pain, and the outcome
- E.g., Cut month-end close from 10 days to 2 for mid-size finance teams
Select slides by priority until the count equals <NUM_SLIDES>
- The count includes * <COMPANY> at a Glance and * Why Invest in <COMPANY>, and excludes * Sources
Always keep these 10 slides, the minimum deck
- * <COMPANY> at a Glance
- Problem slide
- Solution slide
- Market slide: TAM, SAM, SOM
- Go-to-market slide
- Competition slide
- Business model slide
- Team slide
- Ask slide
- * Why Invest in <COMPANY>
While the count is below <NUM_SLIDES>, add these slides, in this order
- Traction slide
- Product slide: how it works, with a diagram
- Why-now slide: the trend that makes the company possible today
- Existing-alternatives slide: how customers solve the problem today
- Financials slide: unit economics and a 3-year revenue path
Keep the order from ## Deck Structure, whichever slides are selected

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
