How to use the Creative Voltage Seed Pitch Deck agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The fs-creative-voltage skill lets an AI agent build a fundraising pitch deck as one HTML file in a fixed bold style: electric blue, deep navy and neon yellow accents. It starts from a bundled example file and replaces the content with a story about why now, the wedge and the ask. This guide explains what the skill does, how to install it, how to ask for a deck, and where it falls short, even if you have never used an agent skill before.

- 1Download the ZIP. Get the fs-creative-voltage ZIP from the skill page.
- 2Unzip into the skills folder. Unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ for all projects, or into .claude/skills/ inside one project.
- 3Or upload in the Claude apps. Open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the ZIP.
- 4Gather your material. Collect the problem, the wedge, why now, your traction and the amount you are raising.
- 5Make the request. Describe the audience, the decision you want, and the deck you need, using words like pitch deck or fundraising.
- 6Review and replace content. Check the slides, verify every number yourself, and keep the example design system intact.
What the fs-creative-voltage skill does
An agent skill is a folder of instructions and files that an AI agent can load when a request matches it. This one is for seed and pre-seed pitch decks. When it is active, the agent produces a single HTML slide deck rather than a generic document.
The visual style is locked. The skill is derived from the Creative Voltage preset in the open-source frontend-slides project, and it keeps that preset's colours, fonts, slide navigation and fixed 16:9 scaling. The agent changes the words and slide content, not the design system.
- Output is one HTML file, built from the included example.html.
- The deck is about 10 slides, with fixed colours and fonts from the skill spec.
- Slides are navigated with the keyboard and a hash route, and the stage scales to fit the window.
- The style is strongly stylized, so it suits a distinctive pitch more than a conservative one.
Install the skill from the ZIP or the Claude apps
Option one: download the ZIP from the skill page and unzip it into your user skills folder at ~/.claude/skills/. For a single project, unzip it into that project's .claude/skills/ folder instead. The skill files, example.html, open-design.json and SKILL.md, should end up inside the skill folder.
Option two: in the Claude apps, open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the ZIP. Use whichever option matches how you work. The project-level folder keeps the skill with one codebase, while the user folder makes it available everywhere on your machine.
- Download the ZIP from the skill page.
- Unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ for all projects, or into .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Or upload the ZIP under Settings, Capabilities, Skills in the Claude apps.
~/.claude/skills/How to trigger the skill with natural requests
You do not need special syntax. Describe the deck you want in plain language and mention a pitch or fundraising. The skill's trigger terms include pitch-deck, fundraising, investor-deck, html deck and html slides, so requests with these words are the most likely to load it.
The skill works best when you give it your own material. It relies on what you provide and does not verify it, so include your problem, market, traction and the amount you are raising wherever you have them.
- Make an investor pitch deck as a single HTML file in the Creative Voltage style for my seed round.
- Build a pre-seed fundraising deck in HTML slides. Cover why now, the wedge and the ask.
- Use the fundraising pitch deck skill to turn my notes into a 10-slide investor deck.
Examples of what to ask for
The skill's own example prompt shows the pattern: name the deck, state the audience and the decision you want, and ask for the slide plan and wording. The skill's guidance is to ask first only for missing essentials, such as audience, decision target, source materials, deadline and any numbers that must stay exactly as given.
A good request names the audience (for example pre-seed and seed VCs), the single outcome you want (a meeting or a term sheet), and the material the agent should draw from. Ask for a critic pass as well, so the agent checks whether an investor would see why the business is venture-scale and urgent.
- Ask for a slide plan first, then written slides, then a visual direction.
- Give your must-keep numbers up front so the agent does not change them.
- Ask for speaker-ready notes if you will present the deck live.
What you need before you start
The skill listing does not require any other tools, runtimes or accounts. What you do need is your own source material: a description of the product, the problem, why the timing matters, your wedge and the amount and use of funds for the ask.
The deck uses Google Fonts (Syne, Space Mono and Yellowtail), so the HTML needs network access when opened to load them. The skill listing states that it uses the network.
- No extra software is listed as required.
- Your own facts and figures, because the skill does not check them.
- An internet connection for the Google Fonts reference in the deck.
Safety notes: scripts and network
The skill listing says it does not run scripts. Its contents are instructions, a single HTML example and a configuration file. The skill's only external reference named in its spec is Google Fonts, and the listing says it uses the network.
The skill does not verify financials, market size or competitor claims. Before you send a deck to an investor, check every number and claim yourself, and remove anything you cannot source.
- No scripts are run by the skill, according to its listing.
- Network use is listed, mainly for loading the Google Fonts stylesheet.
- Verify all financials and market figures yourself before sharing.
Tips for better decks
Treat the example as the starting point. The skill expects you to replace content in the existing structure rather than rebuild the layout, so ask the agent to keep the design system as it is.
If the style does not fit your brand or your investors, this is the wrong skill. The look is fixed and cannot be easily changed, so pick a more neutral template instead.
- Give the agent your strongest evidence and let it structure the story around it.
- Keep each slide to one message; ask for more slides rather than smaller text.
- Use the critic pass to test whether the ask is clear.
What people use it for
- A founder drafting a seed deck in a distinctive visual style for investor meetings.
- A designer or student adapting a locked HTML slide template for their own presentation.
- Someone who wants help structuring the slide order and wording for a pre-seed pitch.
- Drafting speaker-ready notes to go with an HTML deck.
Frequently asked questions
Is the fs-creative-voltage skill free to use?
The skill listing gives its licence as Apache-2.0. The style is derived from the Creative Voltage preset in frontend-slides, which the skill notes is MIT-licensed, so check the licence files in the ZIP before reuse.
What do I need to install the fs-creative-voltage skill?
Download the ZIP and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ or a project's .claude/skills/ folder. Alternatively, upload the ZIP in the Claude apps under Settings, Capabilities, Skills. The listing does not list other requirements.
How do I make the agent use the skill?
Ask for a pitch deck or fundraising deck in plain language, and mention the audience and the decision you want. Words such as pitch-deck, fundraising, investor-deck and html slides are the most likely to trigger it.
Does the skill run scripts or use the internet?
The listing says it does not run scripts and does use the network. The network use is mainly the Google Fonts stylesheet that the deck references.
Can I change the colours and fonts?
Not easily. The skill locks the design tokens and fonts, and it warns against adding colours or fonts outside its spec. If you need a different look, choose a different template.
How does this compare with a generic slide template?
This skill is aimed at investor-style decks with a fixed bold style and a story about why now, the wedge and the ask. A generic template gives you a neutral layout but no pitch structure, and a corporate deck would be a poor fit for this style.

Our verdict
Use this skill if you are a founder preparing a seed or pre-seed deck who wants a distinctive look, or a designer or student who wants a locked HTML slide template to adapt. Pick something else if you need a corporate or conservative deck, or if you need the tool to verify your financials and market numbers, because it does neither.
