What it does
This skill teaches an AI agent to produce a slide-style HTML presentation arguing for a staff-engineer promotion. It structures the case around scope, specific proof moments, artifacts, and impact, using a white magazine-style template with speaker notes kept out of the visible slides. The agent is also told to ask for missing essentials like audience, decision target, source materials, deadline and key numbers before drafting.
Great for
- Engineers preparing a year-end self-review or promotion packet for a manager or calibration committee
- Managers helping a report organise evidence for a promotion discussion
Skip it if
- Fabricating or inflating achievements: the deck is only as credible as the source material supplied, and the skill does not verify claims
- Situations needing a formal document rather than slides, since the output is an HTML deck
Try asking
- “Help me build a promotion deck for Staff Engineer. My manager and the calibration committee are the audience, and the decision is due in March.”
- “Turn my project notes and metrics into a slide plan for my staff-engineer promotion case.”
- “Write speaker notes and a critic pass checking whether my evidence supports the impact claims.”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Provide concrete source material (metrics, design docs, incident reports) so the evidence in the deck is real and checkable.
- Follow the file's setup steps so the copied template's stylesheet and script paths resolve; otherwise slide navigation will not work.
- Keep speaker notes in the notes container, not on the slide, so private commentary stays off the projected deck.
