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],

Example generation:

python3 ${SKILL_PATH}/skills/image-generation/scripts/gemini.py \

  --aspect-ratio "16:9" \

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
