A guide for creating or improving a fundraising pitch deck, the slide presentation founders use to explain a company to potential investors. It focuses on early funding rounds from pre-seed through Series A.

Use it to plan slide structure, shape the investment narrative, review an existing deck, and prepare for investor questions.

It helps turn company details into a clear story and choose the right amount of information for a live presentation or a deck sent for review.

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	$0.00047	$0.01660
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.00830
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00332
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00166

Security

Grade A, and why

pitch-deck 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.

Pitch Deck

When to Use

The founder is preparing a pitch deck for a fundraising round (pre-seed through Series A).
The founder has an existing deck and wants structural or narrative feedback.
The founder asks what slides to include or how to tell their story to investors.

Context Required

From startup-context: company one-liner, stage, product description, target customer, business model, traction metrics, team bios, fundraising history, and competitive landscape. If any of these are missing, prompt the founder before drafting slides.

From the user: target round size, target investor type (VC vs. angel), whether this is for a live pitch (fewer words, more visuals) or a send-ahead deck (more self-explanatory text).

Workflow

Read startup context — Pull from .agents/startup-context.md to populate slide content. Flag any gaps.
Determine deck type — Ask if this is a live-pitch deck (visual-heavy, 30-40 words per slide max) or a send-ahead deck (can include more explanatory text, 60-80 words per slide).
Draft the narrative arc — Before writing any slides, outline the story: what is the world like today (problem), what changes with your product (solution), why now, why this team, and what you need to get there.
Write slide-by-slide content — Produce content for each of the 10-12 slides below. Each slide gets a title, key message, supporting points, and a suggested visual or data element.
Review for investor lens — Check every slide against the question an investor would ask at that point. Flag weak spots.
Produce final output — Deliver the deck outline as structured markdown. If the user wants a .pptx, chain to the Anthropic pptx skill after content is finalized.

Output Format

Structured markdown with one H3 per slide. Each slide section contains:

Title: The slide headline (concise, assertion-style, e.g., "Healthcare billing wastes $200B annually")
Key message: The one thing the audience should remember from this slide
Content: Bullet points or narrative text
Visual suggestion: What chart, image, screenshot, or diagram belongs here
Investor question this answers: The implicit question in the VC's mind

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.
