What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a ready-made visual template, called Signal, for building a single-file HTML slide deck. Its named example is a strategy memo that lays out whether a company should act now on a decision or hold, with options, risks and a recommendation. Once installed, the agent starts from the template's dark navy and gold styling and swaps in your real headlines, numbers and sections, keeping the look consistent.

Great for

  • Strategy or finance staff preparing a board or executive pre-read deck
  • Consultants or advisers who want a formal, weighty visual style
  • Anyone who needs a decision-focused presentation with a clear recommendation slide

Skip it if

  • Playful, casual or fast-paced presentations, because the style is deliberately sober and dense (the skill itself says to avoid these)
  • Decisions where you lack real figures or source material, since the template only organises content and the agent may fill gaps with plausible-sounding claims that need checking

Try asking

  • “Create a board pre-read deck on whether to monetise our plugin registry now or hold, with options, risks and a recommendation”
  • “Turn my notes and must-keep numbers into an 18-slide strategy decision deck in the Signal style”
  • “Add a slide layout for a risk matrix to the Signal deck while keeping its fonts and palette”

    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 your audience, the decision you need approved, deadline and must-keep numbers up front, since the example prompt asks for these first.
  • Check every figure and claim the agent writes against your source material before presenting, because the template does not verify facts.
  • Keep the template's fonts, palette and navigation script intact if you want the deck to stay true to the Signal look.
