What problem does it solve?
Manually updating numerical values across multi-slide investment or corporate presentations is extremely time-consuming, prone to missed instances, and often breaks existing formatting. This Skill automates the entire process of swapping outdated figures for new ones while preserving the deck's original design and structure.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-source input handling: Accepts pasted value mappings, uploaded Excel files with old/new columns, or verbal descriptions of new financial metrics, and confirms the mapping with the user before making any changes.
- Comprehensive value location: Finds every instance of target numbers across text boxes, table cells, chart labels, chart source data, footnotes, and speaker notes, including variants in scale (e.g. $485M vs $0.485B), precision, and unit style that standard find-replace would miss.
- Stale metric flagging: Identifies derived values like YoY growth rates or market share percentages that may be outdated after the core figure updates, and requires user approval before modifying or leaving these secondary values.
- Use Case: An investment banking analyst needs to refresh a Q4 earnings pitch deck with new revenue and EBITDA figures. The Skill locates all 11 instances of the old values across 8 slides, flags 2 stale growth metrics adjacent to the updated revenue, and only applies changes after the user approves the full change list.
Quick Start
Use the deck-refresh skill to update your Q4 earnings pitch deck with the new revenue of $512M and EBITDA of $135M, confirm the proposed change list when prompted, and the Skill will apply all updates while preserving the deck's existing formatting.
