+
+# Board Deck Narrative Skill
+
+This skill builds the complete narrative and slide structure for a board presentation — from opening framing to closing asks. It produces slide-by-slide content guidance, not just a list of topics.
+
+## Required Inputs
+
+Ask the user for these if not provided:
+- **Company stage and context** (Seed / Series A / Growth — and where you are in the year)
+- **Board meeting type** (Regular quarterly / Annual / Special / Fundraise-related)
+- **Key themes for this meeting** (e.g. strong growth quarter / pivoting strategy / hiring challenge / fundraise update)
+- **Key metrics to feature**
+- **Decisions needed from the board** (if any)
+- **Time available** (e.g. 60 min / 90 min)
+- **Audience** (investors only / investors + independent directors / mixed)
+
+## Output Structure
+
+---
+
+# Board Deck Narrative: [Company] — [Quarter/Period]
+
+**Meeting type:** [Regular quarterly / Special]
+**Time:** [X minutes]
+**Narrative theme:** [The one-sentence story of this quarter — e.g. "We hit our revenue target, but activation is the problem we need to solve together."]
+
+---
+
+## Opening Frame (Slide 1–2)
+
+**Slide 1: Title**
+- Company name, quarter, date
+- One-sentence framing of the meeting's narrative arc
+
+**Slide 2: Agenda**
+- List of sections + time allocation
+- Flag which sections need board input vs. are informational
+
+*Presenter note: Board members are busy. Tell them in the first 2 minutes what you need from them today. It changes how they listen.*
+
+---
+
+## Business Performance (Slides 3–6, ~15 min)
+
+**Slide 3: Scorecard / KPI Dashboard**
+- Content: Key metrics vs. targets for the quarter. No more than 6 metrics.
+- Format: Traffic-light table (Green / Amber / Red against plan)
+- Narrative: [1–2 sentences — the headline story of the quarter in numbers]
+- *Don't hide reds. Boards lose trust when they discover hidden problems later.*
+
+**Slide 4: Revenue / Growth Deep Dive**
+- Content: Revenue breakdown by segment, cohort retention, growth drivers
+- Key message: [What the data shows about the health of growth]
+- Call out: [Any trend that needs board context or discussion]
+
+**Slide 5: Unit Economics**
+- Content: CAC, LTV, payback period, gross margin — vs. last quarter and vs. plan
+- Flag: Any metric moving in the wrong direction and what's causing it
+
+**Slide 6: Operational Highlights**
+- Content: 3–5 bullet points of the most significant things that happened this quarter
+- Format: Each bullet = outcome, not activity. ("Signed 3 enterprise contracts worth £400K ARR" not "Continued enterprise sales motion")
+
+---
+
+## Strategic Update (Slides 7–9, ~15 min)
+
+**Slide 7: Strategy Snapshot**
+- Content: Where you said you'd be vs. where you are against the annual plan
+- Narrative: [Honest assessment — what's on track, what's shifted and why]
+
+**Slide 8: Key Strategic Decision or Update**
+- Content: The one strategic topic that most needs board input this meeting
+- Format: Context → Options considered → Recommendation → Question for board
+- *This is the highest-value 10 minutes of the meeting. Frame it as a real question.*
+
+**Slide 9: Product & Roadmap (if relevant)**
+- Content: Top 3 product bets this quarter — what shipped, what's coming, why these bets
+- Tailored for: What the board needs to understand to support strategic decisions, not a sprint review
+
+---
+
+## People & Organisation (Slide 10, ~5 min)
+
+**Slide 10: Team Update**
+- Content: Headcount (start vs. end of quarter), key hires made, open roles, any org changes
+- Flag: Any people risks or leadership gaps the board should know about
+- *Don't skip this slide. Board members often have network value here.*
+
+---
+
+## Financial Update (Slides 11–12, ~10 min)
+
+**Slide 11: P&L Summary**
+- Content: Revenue, gross margin, opex by category, EBITDA/net burn — actual vs. budget
+- Include: Year-to-date vs. annual plan
+
+**Slide 12: Cash & Runway**
+- Content: Cash on hand, monthly burn rate, runway at current burn
+- Include: Scenario if burn increases (e.g. key hire made), scenario if growth accelerates
+- Flag immediately: If runway is < 18 months — this needs board awareness and planning
+
+---
+
+## Closing & Asks (Slides 13–14, ~10 min)
+
+**Slide 13: Priorities for Next Quarter**
+- Content: Top 3–5 priorities and what success looks like for each
+- Format: Priority | What we're doing | How we'll know it worked
+- *Keeps board accountability consistent across meetings*
+
+**Slide 14: Board Asks**
+- Content: Specific things you need from board members before next meeting
+- Format: Each ask = specific, named if possible ("Looking for an intro to [Company] — [Board member X], do you have a connection?")
+- *A board meeting without specific asks is a missed opportunity*
+
+---
+
+## Appendix (Optional)
+
+- Detailed cohort analysis
+- Competitive landscape update
+- Full P&L
+- Team org chart
+- Any supporting data referenced in the main deck
+
+*Appendix slides are available but not presented. Board members who want detail can ask.*
+
+---
+
+## Narrative Principles
+
+- **Lead with honesty.** If it was a hard quarter, say so in the first slide. Don't bury bad news after the wins.
+- **One slide = one idea.** If a slide has two messages, split it.
+- **Fewer slides, more depth.** A 14-slide deck presented well beats a 35-slide deck rushed through.
+- **Every slide has a "so what."** A slide that just shows data without a takeaway wastes board time.
+- **Leave time for discussion.** Board value is in the conversation, not the presentation. Aim to spend 40% of the meeting presenting and 60% in discussion.
+
+## Quality Checks
+
+- [ ] Opening frame states the meeting's narrative theme
+- [ ] Scorecard slide uses traffic-light format (not just green metrics)
+- [ ] Strategic decision slide frames a real question for the board
+- [ ] Financial slide includes runway explicitly
+- [ ] Board asks are specific and actionable
+- [ ] Deck is ≤ 15 slides (excluding appendix)
+
+## Example Trigger Phrases
+
+- "Build a board deck structure for our Q[N] board meeting"
+- "Help me create the narrative for our board presentation"
+- "Write the slide structure for our annual board review"
+- "Design a board deck for [specific context — e.g. fundraise update]"

+
+# Investor Update Skill
+
+This skill writes a complete investor update — structured for clarity, honest about challenges, and specific about asks. Output follows the format preferred by most early-stage and growth investors.
+
+## Required Inputs
+
+Ask the user for these if not provided:
+- **Company name and stage** (Seed / Series A / Series B / etc.)
+- **Period covered** (month or quarter)
+- **Key metrics this period** (revenue, MRR, users, churn, burn, runway — whatever's relevant)
+- **Biggest wins**
+- **Biggest challenges or misses**
+- **Specific asks from investors** (intros, advice, talent, partnerships)
+- **What's coming next period**
+- **Tone** (formal / conversational — most investors prefer conversational)
+
+## Output Structure
+
+---
+
+**[Company Name] — [Month/Quarter] Update**
+*[Date]*
+
+---
+
+Hi [Investor names or "all"],
+
+[One or two sentence opener — a specific highlight or honest framing of the period. Don't open with "Hope you're well." Open with the most important thing that happened.]
+
+---
+
+## The Numbers
+
+| Metric | This Period | Last Period | Change |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| [MRR / ARR] | [Value] | [Value] | [+/- %] |
+| [Active users / customers] | | | |
+| [Churn rate] | | | |
+| [Burn rate] | | | |
+| [Runway] | | | |
+| [Other key metric] | | | |
+
+[1–2 sentences of narrative on the numbers — what's the story behind the movement? Don't just repeat the table.]
+
+---
+
+## Highlights
+
+**[Highlight 1 — 4–6 word title]**
+[2–4 sentences. What happened. Why it matters. Be specific — name the customer, the number, the milestone.]
+
+**[Highlight 2]**
+[2–4 sentences]
+
+**[Highlight 3 — optional]**
+
+---
+
+## Challenges
+
+[This section is what separates trustworthy updates from self-promotional ones. Investors know you have challenges. Being direct builds trust.]
+
+**[Challenge 1]**
+[2–4 sentences. What the problem is. What you've tried. What you're doing about it. Don't spin — investors see through it.]
+
+**[Challenge 2 — if applicable]**
+
+---
+
+## Focus for Next [Month/Quarter]
+
+[3–5 bullet points. What you're concentrating on next period and why. Keep it tight — not an exhaustive roadmap.]
+
+- [Priority 1]
+- [Priority 2]
+- [Priority 3]
+
+---
+
+## Asks
+
+[Be specific. "Let me know if you can help" is not an ask. These should be actionable items an investor can act on immediately.]
+
+1. **[Ask type: e.g. Intro]** — [Specific request. e.g. "Looking for an intro to procurement leads at mid-market SaaS companies. Happy to share a warm intro note."]
+2. **[Ask type: e.g. Advice]** — [Specific question you want input on]
+3. **[Ask type: e.g. Talent]** — [Specific hire you're looking for — title, key requirements]
+
+---
+
+[Closing line — 1 sentence. Forward-looking or a genuine thanks. Not "as always, let me know if you have questions."]
+
+[Signature]
+[Name]
+[Company]
+[One way to reply — email / Calendly / reply to this thread]
+
+---
+
+## Writing Rules
+
+- Updates should take an investor 3–4 minutes to read. If it's longer, trim it.
+- Never lead with process ("This month we focused on...") — lead with outcomes
+- Challenges section must be honest. A missing challenges section signals the founder isn't self-aware or isn't being transparent.
+- Metrics table must include comparison to last period — a number without context is meaningless
+- Asks must be specific enough that an investor knows within 5 seconds if they can help
+- No jargon or buzzwords ("synergies," "crushing it," "hockey stick") — plain language only
+
+## Quality Checks
+
+- [ ] Opens with a specific highlight or honest framing (not a pleasantry)
+- [ ] Numbers include period-over-period comparison
+- [ ] Challenges section is present and honest
+- [ ] Asks are specific and actionable
+- [ ] Total length is skimmable in 3–4 minutes
+- [ ] No spin or buzzwords
+
+## Example Trigger Phrases
+
+- "Write an investor update for [month/quarter]"
+- "Draft a monthly update for our investors based on these notes: [paste notes]"
+- "Help me write a board update for Q[N]"
+- "Write our Series A investor newsletter"

+---
+
+# Job Application Skill
+
+This skill tailors a CV and cover letter to a specific job description — optimising for ATS keyword matching while keeping the writing human and compelling. It also flags gaps between the candidate's profile and the role requirements.
+
+## Required Inputs
+
+Ask the user for these if not provided:
+- **Job description** (paste in full)
+- **Current CV / resume** (paste or describe key experience, roles, and skills)
+- **The specific thing that excites them about this role** (used in the cover letter — must be genuine)
+- **Any particular strengths to emphasise** (optional)
+- **Any gaps they're worried about** (optional — helps address them proactively)
+
+## Output Structure
+
+---
+
+## Part 1: JD Analysis
+
+Before writing anything, analyse the job description and output:
+
+### Must-Have Requirements
+[List explicit requirements from the JD — qualifications, years of experience, specific skills]
+
+### Key Themes in the JD
+[3–5 themes that repeat or are emphasised — these are the keywords and priorities the hiring manager cares about most]
+
+### ATS Keywords to Include
+[List 10–15 specific keywords and phrases from the JD that should appear in the CV and cover letter. Include: tools, methodologies, job titles, skills]
+
+### Gaps Assessment
+[Honest comparison between the candidate's profile and the JD requirements. Flag: "Strong match" / "Partial match — can be positioned as X" / "Gap — address in cover letter or don't apply"]
+
+---
+
+## Part 2: Tailored CV Summary / Profile Section
+
+Rewrite or create the candidate's CV summary/profile section (the 3–5 lines at the top of a CV) specifically for this role:
+
+**Rules:**
+- Open with the job title or a near-match (ATS reward)
+- Include 2–3 keywords from the JD naturally
+- Reference years of experience in the relevant area
+- End with a forward-looking line connecting their background to what this role needs
+- Keep to 60–80 words maximum
+
+**Tailored CV Summary:**
+[Write the summary]
+
+---
+
+## Part 3: Experience Bullet Point Rewrites
+
+For the 2–3 most relevant roles on the CV, suggest how to reframe existing bullet points to better match this JD:
+
+**[Role Title] at [Company]**
+
+| Original Bullet | Tailored Version | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| [Candidate's original text] | [Improved version with JD keywords and stronger impact framing] | [Brief note on what changed] |
+
+**Rules for bullet point rewrites:**
+- Lead with an action verb
+- Include a quantified outcome where possible (%, £, time saved, users impacted)
+- Weave in JD keywords naturally — not forced
+- Keep to one line (2 max)
+
+---
+
+## Part 4: Cover Letter
+
+**Format:** 3 paragraphs + closing. Target: 250–350 words. Anything longer won't be read.
+
+---
+
+[Hiring Manager's name if known, otherwise "Hiring Team"]
+
+**Paragraph 1 — The Hook (Why this role, specifically)**
+[2–4 sentences. Reference something specific about the company or role — not generic enthusiasm. The candidate's genuine reason for applying goes here. This is what makes it human. Generic openers like "I am writing to apply for..." are filtered out mentally within 3 seconds.]
+
+**Paragraph 2 — The Evidence (Why them)**
+[3–5 sentences. 2–3 specific examples from their background that directly address the JD's key themes. Use the language of the JD. Include at least one quantified achievement. Don't list everything — pick the 2–3 strongest matches and go deep, not broad.]
+
+**Paragraph 3 — The Forward Bridge (Why now)**
+[2–3 sentences. Connect their trajectory to this role. Why is this the logical next step? What do they want to learn or build that this role enables? This should feel like the natural continuation of their career, not just "I want a new challenge."]
+

+
+I'd welcome the chance to discuss how my background could contribute to [Company/Team]. Thank you for your time.
