How to use the Product Launch Deck agent skill

What the skill makes the agent do

An agent skill is a folder of instructions that an AI agent reads when it is relevant to a task. This one covers slide decks for a new product launch. Its source describes a Keynote-style deck with a dark cover and light content slides, using a warm orange-to-peach gradient as the accent colour.

The layout runs in this order: a cover with a large title on a dark background, a 'Why we built this' problem slide, an introducing slide with the product name and one hero shot, feature cards (3 to 6 of them), pricing tiers, and a closing CTA or 'Available now' slide.

The skill is a template and style guide written in plain text. It does not run any code of its own.

• Output is an HTML slide layout at a 16:9 aspect hint.
• Structure and visual style come from the skill; the product facts come from you.

Install the Product Launch Deck skill

Download the ZIP from the skill's page on this site. Then choose one of the two install routes below.

For a personal install that applies to all your projects, unzip the download into ~/.claude/skills/. For a single project, unzip it into that project's .claude/skills/ folder. The skill folder should contain SKILL.md and example.html.

If you use the Claude apps instead, upload the ZIP under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

• Personal install: ~/.claude/skills/
• Project install: .claude/skills/ inside your project
• Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload the ZIP

Trigger the skill with a natural request

You do not need a special command. Ask for a launch deck in plain language and mention the product, audience and what the slides should cover. The skill is a good match when your request is about a product announcement, keynote or launch presentation.

Include the facts you want on the slides: the product name, the problem it solves, the key features, the pricing tiers and the call to action. The skill supplies the structure and style; it cannot know these details unless you provide them.

• "Make a 16:9 launch deck for our new note-taking app, with a problem slide, three feature cards, two pricing tiers and a sign-up CTA."
• "Create a keynote-style announcement deck for [product], aimed at early-access customers."
• "Build a product launch presentation using the Product Launch Deck skill."

Check what the skill can and cannot do

The style is bold and promotional. Use it when that fits the audience. The output is HTML slides rather than native PowerPoint or Google Slides files, so content that must appear exactly as-is in those programs will need a different route.

The skill requires nothing beyond the agent itself. It does not run scripts and does not use the network, according to its listing. Still, review any file the agent produces before sharing it.

• Good fit: marketing announcements, founder or small-team launches, consistent 16:9 HTML slides.
• Poor fit: formal corporate, legal or financial decks needing a conservative look.
• Poor fit: decks that must be editable as native PowerPoint or Google Slides files.

Safety notes on scripts and network access

The skill's listing states that it runs no scripts and uses no network access. The package contains two files, SKILL.md and example.html, and the skill is a plain-text template.

Because agent skills change how an agent behaves, read SKILL.md and the example before installing any skill from a source you do not know. Check the licence, which is Apache-2.0 for this item.

• Runs scripts: no
• Uses network: no
• Required tools or accounts: none listed

Tips for a better launch deck

Give the agent real copy and real numbers rather than placeholders where you can. Keep feature cards to the 3 to 6 range the layout expects. Provide a hero image description or file if you want a specific product shot on the introducing slide.

Open the example.html file in the skill folder to see the intended look before you request your own deck.

• Write the one-sentence problem statement first; the 'Why we built this' slide depends on it.
• Keep pricing tiers consistent with what you actually sell.
• Ask for a single CTA so the closing slide stays focused.
