What problem does it solve? Turning spreadsheet analysis, memos, or source material into a decision-driving presentation is hard: slides often end up with vague topic titles, unsupported numbers, and inconsistent branding. This Skill structures the deck before any slide is rendered and then audits the finished deck for evidence and brand compliance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Two-phase workflow: Phase 1 builds a deck architecture (audience, decision, narrative spine, slide map with claim headlines, sources, assumptions, and review status) and pauses for approval before any rendering; Phase 2 validates the finished deck slide by slide. - Evidence-backed slide map: Each slide gets a sentence-form claim headline, role in the argument, supporting source IDs, workbook references, chart needs, and a verified / needs review / unsupported / conflicting status. - Brand and accuracy validation: Returns a table of issues per slide with severity (must fix / should fix / polish), evidence, and recommended repairs covering attribution, number accuracy, template conformance, typography, density, and compliance risks. - Use Case: You have a quarterly analysis workbook and a company template. Use this Skill to plan an executive deck with sourced claims, get the slide map approved, then audit the rendered deck so every number traces back to the workbook before it goes to the board. ## Quick Start Use the deck-architect-brand-validator skill to turn my analysis workbook into an executive deck plan and then validate the finished slides against our brand rules.
