What it does
# Board Deck Generator Generate institutional-quality `board-deck.md` content: concise, data-driven, honest about challenges, and focused on the decisions that need board input. Output must be ready for a CEO to present directly or hand to a design team for slide conversion. ## Contents - `references/document-structure.md` -- The required 12-section deck structure with all tables and templates. - `references/stage-templates.md` -- Early-stage, growth-stage, and pre-IPO emphasis and per-section additions. - `references/style-guide.md` -- Formatting rules, tone and voice, quality checklist, common mistakes. - `references/examples.md` -- A fully worked board ask. ## Inputs Collect from the user. If critical inputs are missing, ask before generating. For non-critical gaps, insert bracketed placeholders like `[INSERT Q3 REVENUE]`. Required: - Company name and stage (early-stage / growth-stage / pre-IPO) - Reporting period (e.g., Q1 2026) - Key financial metrics (ARR/MRR, revenue, burn rate, cash position, runway) - Strategic updates (major milestones, wins, setbacks) Optional: detailed P&L, product roadmap, GTM metrics, hiring plan, customer logos/NPS, competitive changes, specific board asks, prior board deck, cap table, prior-quarter OKRs. ## Workflow 1. Identify the stage (early-stage, growth-stage, or pre-IPO) from user input. See `references/stage-templates.md`. 2. Collect and review all provided metrics, updates, and context. 3. Flag gaps. Ask the user for missing critical data; mark missing non-critical data with `[PLACEHOLDER]` notation. 4. If the user provides a prior board deck, read it first to maintain continuity in metric tracking, formatting, and narrative threads. 5. Build the full document following the section order in `references/document-structure.md`, applying the stage-appropriate emphasis from `references/stage-templates.md`. 6. Populate every table, narrative, and analysis using provided inputs. 7. Add analysis: explain what numbers mean, why they changed, and what to do about them. Do not just report. 8. Draft board asks with options, management recommendation, specific request, and timeline. See `references/examples.md`. 9. Apply formatting and tone from `references/style-guide.md`; run the quality checklist there before finalizing. 10. Write the completed deck to `board-deck.md` in the current working directory (or a user-specified path). Confirm the file path after writing.

Bi Measure Builder
Writes, explains, debugs, and optimizes BI calculations - Power BI / Fabric DAX measures and calculated columns, Tableau calculated fields (FIXED/INCLUDE/EXCLUDE LOD expressions, table calculations), and Looker LookML measures, dimensions, and derived tables. Use it whenever the request involves DAX, CALCULATE, a Power BI measure, a Tableau calc or LOD, LookML, or a business metric such as YoY, YTD, rolling 12 months, running total, percent of total, distinct customers, ranking, new vs returning customers, closing balances, or basket analysis. Use it especially when someone says a measure "shows the wrong total", "is blank", "ignores my slicer/filter", "repeats the same value on every row", or "is slow" - those are filter context, context transition, LOD order-of-operations, or fanout bugs this skill is built to diagnose. Produces the formula, the context it evaluates in, and a hand-checkable test with expected numbers.
Bookkeeping Close
Runs small and midsize business bookkeeping operations - categorizes bank and card transactions to a chart of accounts, reconciles a bank or card statement against the ledger, works a month-end close checklist, and produces a close package for the accountant. Works from QuickBooks Online, Xero, bank CSV/OFX, or Mercury exports, and from the Xero, QuickBooks, or Mercury connectors when present. Use it whenever the user says "reconcile", "bank rec", "categorize transactions", "month end close", "close the books", "books don't match the bank", "reconciliation is off by", "uncategorized expenses", or shares a QuickBooks or Xero export or a bank statement CSV, even if they do not name the task. Never plugs a difference; every unreconciled dollar is explained or listed.
