How to use the Editorial Marketing Plan Deck agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
deck-guizang-editorial is an agent skill, a set of instructions that an AI agent such as Claude loads so it works in a specific way. Once installed, it tells the agent to turn your material into a single-file HTML slide presentation styled like a printed editorial magazine. This guide covers what the skill does, how to install it, how to trigger it with plain requests, and what to check before you rely on the output.

What the skill makes the agent do
The skill gives the agent a fixed visual system for HTML slides. The output is one HTML file with a paper-and-ink look, navigable with the left and right arrow keys and synced to the URL hash.
You choose one of five fixed colour palettes: Monocle (ink), Indigo Porcelain, Forest Ink, Kraft Paper and Dune. The agent then builds slides from ten reusable layouts, such as a hero cover, a chapter divider, a big-numbers grid, a pipeline flow and a before/after comparison.
The example framing is an annual marketing and go-to-market plan. The skill asks the agent to organise slides around audience, offer, channel mix and a launch calendar, and to use only your real numbers rather than invented ones.
- Output: a single HTML file
- Five fixed palettes; the hex values may not be changed or mixed
- Ten slide layouts that can be reused across sections
- Keyboard navigation with left and right arrows

Trigger the skill with a natural request
You do not need a special command. Ask for a deck in plain language and mention the kind of content you have. The skill's trigger terms include phrases such as annual marketing plan, marketing GTM, launch, campaign, pipeline, html deck and html slides.
A useful request names the subject, the audience and the decision you want. The skill's own example prompt asks the agent first for missing essentials: audience, decision target, source-of-truth materials, deadline and must-keep numbers. Answer those questions before the agent starts building slides.
- Ask for an annual marketing plan deck for a named audience, such as a CMO or growth lead
- Ask for a launch or campaign deck built from your own figures
- Say you want an HTML deck, so the agent picks this output format
Example request
The following is adapted from the skill's example prompt. Replace the subject and audience with your own material.
Create an annual marketing plan as a decision-grade marketing and GTM deck in this template's visual system. Subject: our FY plan from brand to pipeline, covering audience, offer, channel mix and the launch calendar. Audience: CMO and growth lead. First ask me for any missing essentials, then produce the slide plan and written slides.What the skill needs and how it behaves
The skill lists no required tools or prerequisites. It does not run scripts and does not use the network, according to its metadata.
The palettes, fonts and layouts are fixed. The skill names Playfair Display and Noto Serif SC for display text, Inter and Noto Sans SC for body text, and forbids gradients, drop shadows, rounded corners, blur, icon libraries and emoji decoration. Graphics are drawn with inline CSS or SVG rather than placeholder image URLs.
The skill tells the agent not to fabricate data and not to use lorem ipsum. It does not check sources, so the numbers on the slides are only as reliable as the material you supply.
- Requirements: none listed
- Scripts: none
- Network: none
- Fixed palettes and fonts; the skill forbids changing them
Tips for better decks
Give the agent your real figures and mark which ones must stay unchanged. Because the skill does not verify numbers, check every figure on each slide against your source before the review.
Choose the palette that fits your topic. Monocle is the default for general business and technology, while Indigo Porcelain suits data-heavy work.
If your company requires a corporate brand template, this skill is not the right fit, because its palettes and fonts cannot be altered.
- Supply source-of-truth numbers up front
- Verify every figure before presenting
- Pick a palette that matches the topic
- Use the layouts in varied order to keep long decks readable
What people use it for
- Drafting an annual marketing plan for a CMO or executive review
- Organising a launch calendar and channel mix into a slide deck
- Turning a founder's own metrics into a decision-focused go-to-market presentation
- Producing a consistently styled HTML slide set without building the layout by hand
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the deck-guizang-editorial skill?
Download the ZIP from this page and unzip it. Place the folder in ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or in a project's .claude/skills/ folder for one project. In the Claude apps, you can instead upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
Does this skill have any requirements?
The skill's metadata lists no requirements. It runs no scripts and uses no network access, so it needs no extra software beyond an agent that can load skills.
Is the deck-guizang-editorial skill free to use?
The skill is licensed under Apache-2.0. Check the licence terms in the source repository before reusing it in a commercial setting.
Can I use my company's brand colours and fonts?
Not with this skill. The five palettes and the fonts are fixed, and the skill forbids altering the hex values. Choose a different tool if you must match a corporate template.
Will the agent check that my numbers are correct?
No. The skill only instructs the agent not to invent data. It does not verify sources, so you should check every figure on the slides yourself.
What should I do if the skill does not trigger?
Make sure the folder sits in the correct location and contains SKILL.md, then name the deck type and ask for an HTML deck in your request. The skill's trigger terms include annual marketing plan, launch, campaign, pipeline and html deck.
