  "title": "Slide Title",
  "content": {
    "headline": "Main message",
    "bullets": ["Point 1", "Point 2", "Point 3"],

    "image_prompt": "Prompt for image generation if applicable"
  }
}

---

Step 5: Generate Slide Images (If Requested)

If user wants images, generate using the image-generation skill.

Ask first:

"Want me to generate images for each slide?

• 📊 Charts & diagrams (market size, competitive matrix, growth graphs)
• 📸 Concept visuals (product mockups, icons, illustrations)
• 🎨 Both
• ❌ No images (content only)"

Image types by slide:

| Slide | Image Type | Example Prompt | |-------|------------|----------------| | Problem | Icon/illustration | "Simple icon illustration of [pain point], clean minimal style, single color" | | Solution | Product mockup | "Modern app screenshot mockup on iPhone, clean UI showing [feature]" | | Market | Chart | "Professional market size chart, TAM SAM SOM concentric circles, blue gradient, business presentation style" | | Product | Screenshot/demo | "Product dashboard screenshot, modern SaaS interface, clean design" | | Traction | Growth chart | "Line graph showing exponential growth, up and to the right, professional chart style, green trend line" | | Competition | 2x2 matrix | "Competitive positioning matrix, 2x2 grid with company logos, business presentation style" | | Team | Team grid | (Use actual photos if provided) | | Financials | Pie chart | "Use of funds pie chart, 4 segments, professional business colors" |

Prompt template:

Professional pitch deck visual for [SLIDE_TYPE],
[SPECIFIC CONTENT],
clean modern design,
business presentation style,
[BRAND COLORS if known],
minimal, high contrast

Example generation:

python3 ${SKILL_PATH}/skills/image-generation/scripts/gemini.py \
  --prompt "Professional market opportunity chart, TAM $50B SAM $5B SOM $500M concentric circles, blue gradient colors, clean business presentation style, white background, labeled segments" \
  --aspect-ratio "16:9" \
  --resolution "2K"

Save files as:

• slide_01_title.png
• slide_02_problem.png
• slide_03_solution.png
• etc.

2. 10-20-30 rule - 10 slides, 20 minutes, 30pt font
3. Story arc - Problem → Solution → Opportunity → Ask
4. Show, don't tell - Data and demos over claims
5. Anticipate questions - Appendix for deep dives
