FollowSkills review · FSRS-2.0
Not recommended
55/ 100 5-point scale 2.8 / 5
Trust16 / 25 · 3.2/5

The skill declares least-privilege Tier-1 own-data inputs, treats pasted material as untrusted, labels unsupported proof as [needs source], and routes proposals through an authorized operation. However, rollback, sensitive-metric handling, and the complete permission boundary are not detailed here; publisher identity is also unverified, so points are deducted.

Reliability8 / 20 · 2.0/5

The workflow, stop conditions, NEEDS_INPUT behavior when no canon exists, audience confirmation, and abnormal-input handling are reasonably clear. However, it depends on several unprovided registries, scripts, and shared specifications, with no skill-specific tests or reproducible examples; under static calibration it remains below 10.

Adaptability11 / 15 · 3.7/5

Triggers, audiences, input hints, expected outputs, and non-fit boundaries are clearly stated, with Chinese-language labeling and no connector prerequisite. Evidence is limited for host-by-host compatibility, depth of Chinese support, and mainland-China reachability, so points are deducted.

Convention10 / 15 · 3.3/5

Frontmatter, version, license, Quick Start, contract, data sources, save rules, handoff, and next-skill guidance are well organized. Changelog evidence, maintenance ownership, update path, and availability of referenced files are not sufficiently demonstrated in the supplied material; publisher provenance is unknown, so points are deducted.

Effectiveness6 / 15 · 2.0/5

The skill specifies a five-beat narrative, slide mapping, claim IDs, audience-specific asks, and a pending-proof list, which plausibly yields a usable deck outline. No real output or execution evidence is supplied, and core results depend on external canon, story-bank, and claims-ledger state, so the score is conservative.

Verifiability4 / 10 · 2.0/5

Claim-ledger binding, Measured/User-provided/Estimated labels, and event-based proposals provide some auditability. The supplied material contains no representative artifact, independent corroboration, or reproducible key-path record for this skill, so the score stays below the static ceiling.

Before you use it
  • Before use, confirm that canon.md, the story bank, and the claims ledger exist and are version-consistent; without a canon the skill should stop with NEEDS_INPUT.
  • Unapproved statistics, case outcomes, comparisons, or logos must remain [needs source] and must not be presented as verified pitch evidence.
  • The skill may submit claims/narrative proposals or save results; verify that the host provides the authorized registry-events.py path and obtain explicit user confirmation before writes.
  • No real execution artifact or skill-specific test is supplied, so the resulting deck outline requires human review.

What does this skill do, and when should you use it?

This skill derives a fundraising deck, sales pitch, or shared narrative from an existing narrative canon. It structures the story around five beats: problem, undeniable shift, product as hero, proof, and ask. Each beat is mapped to one or more slides, with proof beats tied to approved claim IDs or marked “[needs source].” It is a good fit for teams that already maintain a narrative canon, claims ledger, story bank, and usable traction data; without a canon, it stops rather than inventing one.

Reads the narrative canon, story bank, positioning truth set, read-only claims ledger, and user-provided traction or metrics; confirms whether the audience is sales, fundraising, or both; builds the problem→shift→product-as-hero→proof→ask arc; produces a one-beat-per-slide outline; identifies the proof unit and claim ID for each proof slide; marks unsupported evidence as “[needs source]” and routes it as a claims proposal; creates fundraising and sales-specific ask variants; and checks canon consistency, banned vocabulary, and AI-slop phrasing.

  1. A founder has an approved narrative canon and needs an investor-deck spine.
  2. A sales team needs a customer-facing pitch that matches the company’s approved message system.
  3. A marketing team wants the deck’s tagline, pillars, and proof wording to match the narrative canon and claims ledger.
  4. A team has traction, case studies, or comparisons that need clear measured, user-provided, or source-needed labeling.

What are this skill's strengths and limitations?

Pros
  • Provides a clear five-beat arc and slide-level outline for deck planning.
  • Requires proof beats to reference claim IDs and distinguishes supported from source-needed evidence.
  • Supports sales, fundraising, or a shared body with audience-specific asks.
  • Does not require connectors; the collection supports a Tier 1 workflow using supplied data.
Limitations
  • Requires an existing narrative canon and will not invent one when it is missing.
  • Does not design finished slides or produce launch-window battle cards or rep talk tracks.
  • Unsupported evidence remains a pending claims proposal rather than an approved marketing claim.
  • The supplied material does not document an independent test suite or detailed platform-by-platform testing.

How do you install this skill?

In Claude Code, add the repository marketplace and install the collection: /plugin marketplace add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills, then run /plugin install aaron-marketing@aaron. Alternatively use npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills, or clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills. After installation, use narrative/land/pitch-narrative-builder/SKILL.md.

How do you use this skill?

Make sure memory/narrative-registry/canon.md exists and provide access to the story bank, claims ledger, and user-supplied metrics. Example prompts: Build our pitch deck narrative for [company] from the canon. Audience: investors. or Structure a sales pitch narrative for [product] — problem → shift → product-as-hero → proof → the ask. The skill produces narrative and slide beats only; finished visual design, launch-window battle cards, and sales talk tracks are out of scope.

FAQ

Does it require paid APIs or MCP servers?
No. The skill describes a Tier 1 workflow based on the canon, own data, and user-provided inputs; connectors are optional.
Does it create a complete presentation file?
No. It creates the narrative spine and slide-beat outline. Finished visual slide design is out of scope.
What happens if we do not have a narrative canon?
The skill should stop with NEEDS_INPUT and route the work to an upstream narrative skill such as message-system-architect or strategic-narrative-designer.
Does it approve claims automatically?
No. Unverified proof is labeled “[needs source]” and submitted to the claims registry for separate substantiation.
