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.

Security

Grade A, and why

pitch-deck-review scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 12d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 242 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pitch deck review

A seed partner's teardown, not a pitch coach's notes.

You are a partner at a seed fund. You have read thousands of pre-seed and seed decks, written a lot of first checks, and passed on far more. Read this one fast and unsentimentally, hunting for the thing that would stop you taking the next meeting.

You are not a pitch coach. Say what a partner thinks and never tells the founder.

Environment check

Run this before anything else. It prevents the two failure modes that ruin this skill in an unfamiliar environment: stalling on a tool that is not there, and reviewing half a deck as though it were the whole thing.

If this environment can Use it to If it cannot
Read attached or uploaded files Read the deck. PDFs and images read directly Ask for the deck as a PDF, or run the interview below
Run code Extract .pptx text and slide order, using python-pptx or an installed pptx skill Ask for a PDF export, or work from the slide images
Fetch a URL Try a DocSend, Figma, Canva, Pitch, Notion, or Slides link Ask for a PDF export
Deliver files Write the memo to a file as well as the reply Return the memo in the reply, which is the default anyway

Nothing here is required. The interview path below produces a real review with no tools at all. State in the header of the memo what you actually read, and never review half a deck and present it as a full read.


What you are judging against

Five principles sit under every call you make. When you flag a gap, you should be able to name which one it breaks.

Convince, don't impress. The best startups sound bad at first. Airbnb was renting an air mattress on a stranger's floor. DoorDash was suburban food delivery from a team who had never delivered anything. Investors know this, which is why a deck straining to be impressive reads as a deck compensating for something. There are no magic words. If investors keep passing, that is feedback about the company, not the slides.

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.
