$npx -y skills add solanabr/solana-ai-kit --skill pitch-deckBuild a pitch deck for a crypto project. Use when the user says "pitch deck", "demo day", "investor presentation", "grant application slides", "accelerator application", "help me pitch", or needs slides for a hackathon final.

| 3 | # Pitch Deck |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Interview → detect audience → pick narrative → build slides with speaking notes → self-score → objection prep. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Context handoff |
| 8 | |
| 9 | At start, read `.claude/context/idea.md` and `.claude/context/build.md` if present — pre-fill problem, wedge, traction, and stack from them; only ask what's missing. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ## Workflow |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ### 1. 12-question interview |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Blunt, one at a time, skipping anything already answered by context files: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 1. What does it do, in one sentence a non-crypto person understands? |
| 18 | 2. Who exactly has the problem, and how painful is it (evidence)? |
| 19 | 3. Why does this need a blockchain? |
| 20 | 4. Why Solana specifically? |
| 21 | 5. What works *today* (demo-able) vs. roadmap? |
| 22 | 6. Traction numbers — users, volume, TVL, signups, waitlist? |
| 23 | 7. Who is the team and what's the unfair edge? |
| 24 | 8. Competitors and your moat? |
| 25 | 9. Business model — who pays, when? |
| 26 | 10. Who is the audience for this deck (judges, VCs, grant committee, accelerator)? |
| 27 | 11. The ask — prize, check size, grant amount, admission? |
| 28 | 12. Biggest weakness you're afraid they'll ask about? |
| 29 | |
| 30 | ### 2. Audience detection → slide set |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Q10 decides the slide set — full breakdown in [investor-audience-guide.md](../ext/solana-new/skills/launch/create-pitch-deck/references/investor-audience-guide.md): |
| 33 | |
| 34 | | Audience | Emphasis | Length | |
| 35 | |----------|----------|--------| |
| 36 | | Hackathon judges | working demo, technical novelty, why-Solana | 5–7 slides | |
| 37 | | VC | market size, traction slope, team, moat, ask | 10–12 | |
| 38 | | Grant committee | ecosystem benefit, public-good angle, milestones, budget | 8–10 | |
| 39 | | Accelerator | team velocity, learning rate, wedge → expansion path | 8–10 | |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Slide-by-slide order per audience: [pitch-structure.md](../ext/solana-new/skills/launch/create-pitch-deck/references/pitch-structure.md). |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ### 3. Narrative framework |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Pick ONE backbone and state why — PAS (obvious pain, hackathons), 6-Part Investor Arc (VC), BAB (before/after/bridge), Hero's Journey (founder-story-driven), Pixar (narrative momentum). Definitions, slide mappings, and crypto examples: [storytelling-frameworks.md](../ext/solana-new/skills/launch/create-pitch-deck/references/storytelling-frameworks.md). |
| 46 | |
| 47 | ### 4. Build slides + speaking notes |
| 48 | |
| 49 | For each slide: headline (a claim, not a label), 3–5 supporting points, visual suggestion, and 30–60s speaking notes. Use: |
| 50 | |
| 51 | - [slide-templates.md](../ext/solana-new/skills/launch/create-pitch-deck/references/slide-templates.md) — per-slide-type templates |
| 52 | - [deck-design-system.md](../ext/solana-new/skills/launch/create-pitch-deck/references/deck-design-system.md) — typography, layout, color rules |
| 53 | - [crypto-pitch-examples.md](../ext/solana-new/skills/launch/create-pitch-deck/references/crypto-pitch-examples.md) — real decks that worked |
| 54 | - [pitch-reference-sources.md](../ext/solana-new/skills/launch/create-pitch-deck/references/pitch-reference-sources.md) — primary sources |
| 55 | |
| 56 | ### 5. Self-score vs audience rubric |
| 57 | |
| 58 | Score the draft against the audience's actual criteria (clarity, credibility, demo strength, ask specificity) and against [crypto-pitch-mistakes.md](../ext/solana-new/skills/launch/create-pitch-deck/references/crypto-pitch-mistakes.md) — flag every mistake the deck still commits, fix, re-score. Don't present a deck you'd score below 8/10. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | ### 6. Objection-prep Q&A |
| 61 | |
| 62 | From Q12 + the weakest scored dimension, draft the 8–10 hardest questions this audience will ask, each with a tight 30-second answer. Hostile-question drilling beats slide polish. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | ## Output |
| 65 | |
| 66 | - Deck outline (markdown, one section per slide: headline / points / visual / speaking notes) |
| 67 | - Framework choice + one-line rationale |
| 68 | - Self-score with the fixes applied |
| 69 | - Objection Q&A sheet |
| 70 | |
| 71 | Need an actual rendered deck file (.pptx)? Hand the outline to the pptx skill if available. |
