How to use the Blue Professional Corporate Deck agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The Blue Professional Corporate Deck is an agent skill: a set of files that tells an AI agent to build a slide deck from a fixed HTML template with a cream background, cobalt blue accents and a set typographic style. It is aimed at strategy decks such as a quarterly business review for an executive committee. This guide explains what the skill does, how to install it, how to ask for a deck in plain language, and what to check before you share the result.
Blue Professional Corporate Decknexu-io/open-design · Apache-2.0 Download the skill Quick start
- 1Download and unzip. Download the skill ZIP from our page and unzip it so that SKILL.md, example.html and template.json sit together in one folder.
- 2Place the folder. Move the folder into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or into .claude/skills/ inside your project. In the Claude apps, you can instead upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
- 3Gather your material. Collect the audience, the decision you need, your source numbers, the deadline and any figures that must not change.
- 4Ask for the deck. Describe the deck in plain language, for example a quarterly business review for the executive committee. Answer the agent's questions about missing essentials.
- 5Open and check the HTML. Open the produced HTML file in a web browser and verify every number, name and date against your sources before sharing.
What the skill makes the agent do
When the skill is installed, the agent starts from a ready-made HTML slide template called example.html rather than a blank page. It copies that template into your workspace, replaces the placeholder text with your own headlines, numbers, names and dates, and keeps the design intact.
The template is built for strategy-style material. The example in the skill is a quarterly business review for an executive committee, with the goal that a reader knows what to approve and why. The skill's own guidance says the template is deliberately restrained, so it suits pre-reads and investor updates better than playful presentations.
- Starts from example.html, a single self-contained HTML deck
- Replaces placeholder content with your real text and figures
- Keeps fonts, palette, decorative elements and layout grid unchanged
- Adds slides by duplicating an existing layout; removes slides from the bottom if you have less content
- Designs any missing layout in the same style instead of switching to another template
Install the skill from our page
Download the ZIP for the skill from our page and unzip it. The folder contains three files: example.html, SKILL.md and template.json. SKILL.md is the file the agent reads to learn the rules, so keep it in the same folder as the other two.
You can install it in one of two ways. For a personal setup, unzip the folder into ~/.claude/skills/. To limit it to one project, unzip it into the .claude/skills/ folder inside that project. Alternatively, if you use the Claude apps, open Settings, go to Capabilities, and upload the skill under Skills.
- Personal: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/
- Single project: unzip into .claude/skills/ in the project folder
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills → upload
Trigger the skill with a natural request
You do not need a special command. Describe the deck you want and mention the audience, the decision you need, and the topic. The skill's trigger words include board, strategy, business-review, board-pre-read-deck and html slides, so requests using those ideas are most likely to load it.
The skill's example prompt asks the agent to first request only what is missing: audience, decision target, source materials, deadline and must-keep numbers. Answering those questions before the agent drafts slides usually gives a more useful deck.
- Ask for a quarterly business review deck for the executive committee, with the decision you need approved
- Ask for a board pre-read in HTML slides based on the numbers you paste in
- Ask for a strategy deck that says what moved, what stalled and the resource reallocation request
Review and finish the deck
Open the HTML file the agent produces in a web browser. Check every number and date against your source, because the agent works only with the content you supply and does not verify it. Confirm that the first pages make the approval request clear.
If you need a slide type the template lacks, ask for it in plain words. The skill tells the agent to build the new layout in the same fonts, palette and decorative style rather than changing template.
- Check all figures, names and dates against your source files
- Make sure the decision request is visible early
- Confirm that corner brackets, grain and geometric shapes are still present
Safety and what it needs
The skill runs no scripts and makes no network calls, according to its listing. It needs an AI agent that can read SKILL.md skill folders and edit files in your workspace, plus a web browser to open the HTML result.
Before pasting confidential financial figures into an AI tool, check your company's data policy. The agent processes whatever you give it. The SKILL.md notes that the upstream template is MIT-licensed and that its license text must be kept with any copy of example.html, template.json or vendored assets. The directory listing gives the licence as Apache-2.0, so read the included files if licensing matters for your use.
- Requires an agent that reads SKILL.md folders and edits workspace files
- Requires a web browser to view the output
- Runs scripts: no; uses network: no
- Do not paste confidential figures without checking your data policy
What people use it for
- A quarterly business review for an executive committee that sets out what moved, what stalled and where resources should shift
- A board or pre-read deck in HTML that needs a clean, professional look
- A B2B pitch or investor update that should feel modern without looking stiff
- A consultant's advisory update that reuses one consistent visual style across several decks
Frequently asked questions
Is the Blue Professional Corporate Deck skill free to use?
The directory lists the licence as Apache-2.0. The SKILL.md says the template is vendored from an MIT-licensed upstream project and that the MIT license text must be kept with copies of example.html, template.json and any vendored assets. Read the licence files in the download before redistributing it.
What do I need to run this agent skill?
You need an AI agent that can read SKILL.md skill folders and edit files in your workspace, and a web browser to open the resulting HTML file. The skill runs no scripts and uses no network access, according to its listing.
Where do I put the skill folder to install it?
Unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or into .claude/skills/ in a specific project. If you use the Claude apps, upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
Why does the agent keep the template's design and not change it?
The SKILL.md says the fonts, palette, layout grid and decorative elements are one system, and mixing layouts from other templates breaks it. If a slide needs a new layout, the agent designs it in the same style.
Can I use this skill for a playful or informal presentation?
The skill's own guidance says no. Its cool electric-blue restraint is intended for professional decks and will read as overly polished for hot, playful or informal material.
How does it compare with building slides from a blank template?
The skill gives you a fixed visual system and slide vocabulary, so the agent spends less effort on design choices. It is less flexible than a blank file, and the template's restrained look is the main trade-off.

Our verdict
Use this skill if you need a restrained, professional HTML deck for an executive committee, board pre-read or B2B pitch, and you are comfortable checking every figure the agent places on the slides. Pick a different template if you want a playful, informal or energetic presentation, or if you cannot share your figures with an AI tool under your company's data policy.
