deck-iteration-workflow

What problem does it solve?

Building fundraise slide decks often leads to fragmented design, inconsistent branding, and wasted iteration when working slide-by-slide instead of holistically. AI coding agents produce disjointed creative output when lacking a structured, phase-based workflow, and teams struggle with variant management, design system overhead, and common technical pitfalls like CSS conflicts or Reveal.js debugging issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Holistic phased workflow: Progress from a single-page narrative scroll deck to individual slides, cleanup/componentization, feature enhancement, full deck completion, and advanced interactivity, ensuring design coherence across the entire deck.
• Variant management system: Generate and track multiple design variants per slide, promote the best options to canonical status, and prune unused iterations without losing viable design elements for future use.
• Built-in guardrails: Avoid common pitfalls including premature design system creation, complex JavaScript overhead, and Reveal.js CSS conflicts, with explicit constraints and best practices for Astro, Tailwind, and client review workflows.
• Use Case: A startup preparing a Series A fundraise deck can use this skill to quickly generate 2-3 design variants per slide, promote the most cohesive options to a navigable, playable prototype, and deliver a consistent, error-free deck to investors without getting stuck on styling or technical debt.

Quick Start

Use the deck-iteration-workflow skill to build a navigable, variant-managed Astro slide deck for your upcoming fundraise process, following the phased holistic-first approach to maintain design consistency across all slides.
