pitch-deck

Populates investment banking pitch deck templates with data from source files. Use when: user provides a PowerPoint template to fill in, user has source data (Excel/CSV) to populate into slides, user mentions populating or filling a pitch deck template, or user needs to transfer data into existing slide layouts. Not for creating presentations from scratch.

Content

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A highly actionable, well-sequenced workflow with strong validation feedback loops and concrete commands. The main weaknesses are some redundant restatement of the placeholder-color guidance and a progressive-disclosure structure whose referenced files are absent from the bundle.

Suggestions

Ship the missing reference/ bundle files (formatting-standards.md, slide-templates.md, xml-reference.md, calculation-standards.md) so the body's deep-links resolve, or inline the critical content and drop the dangling references.

Consolidate the repeated placeholder-vs-production guidance (currently split across 'Critical Anti-Patterns', 'MUST Requirements', 'Common Failures', and the 'Placeholder vs. Production' summary) into one authoritative section to reduce redundancy.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is information-dense with no concept-explanation padding and uses tables/checklists efficiently, but the placeholder-color guidance is restated across Anti-Patterns, MUST Requirements, Common Failures, and the Summary table, leaving room to tighten.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides concrete, executable guidance throughout — real shell commands ('soffice --headless --convert-to pdf', 'pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150'), exact box widths, explicit user-flag strings, and a copy-paste progress checklist.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	A five-phase workflow with an explicit validate→fix→repeat feedback loop, a 3-cycle escalation cap, a fix-cycle table, and a final quality checklist — matching the score-3 anchor of clear sequence with explicit validation and feedback loops.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	The body signals four reference files in a well-organized table with anchored deep-links, but the referenced 'reference/*.md' directory does not exist in the bundle, so the one-level-deep navigation points to missing files rather than realized, appropriately split content.	2 / 3

Description

90%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, well-scoped description in third person that clearly states what the skill does and when to use it, with good trigger-term coverage and explicit conflict avoidance. The only weakness is that it names a single core action rather than enumerating several concrete capabilities.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names a concrete domain ('investment banking pitch deck templates') and one primary action ('Populates ... with data from source files') plus a negative-scope clause, but enumerates only a single core action rather than multiple distinct concrete actions like the score-3 anchor.	2 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' (populates templates with source data) and 'when' ('Use when: ...') with multiple concrete triggers, plus an explicit out-of-scope statement.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Covers natural user phrasings well — 'PowerPoint template to fill in', 'source data (Excel/CSV)', 'populating or filling a pitch deck template', 'transfer data into existing slide layouts' — including file-format variants.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The 'investment banking pitch deck templates' niche has distinct triggers and 'Not for creating presentations from scratch' explicitly disambiguates it from generic presentation skills.	3 / 3
