deck-review skillB
deck-review is agent-read markdown (skill) from lool-ventures/founder-skills: Scores and strengthens startup pitch decks (pre-seed through Series A) against 35 investor-grade criteria grounded in Sequoia, DocSend, YC, a16z, and Carta data. Run the scored rubric rather than giving deck advice from memory..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

Help startup founders strengthen their pitch decks before sending them to investors. Produce a structured, scored review with specific, actionable recommendations grounded in current best practices from Sequoia, DocSend, YC, a16z, and Carta data. The tone is founder-first: a candid coaching session, not a VC evaluation.

This skill runs **inline in the main thread**, not as a sub-agent — see the reference above ("Why Inline (Not Forked Sub-Agent)") for the rationale. Sub-agents are deliberately shell-free, so orchestration (producer scripts, artifact persistence) stays in the main thread.
**Two dispatch contexts for the sub-agent:**
