How to generate a McKinsey-style executive summary deck from notes
Quand l'utiliser : You have the content (notes, data, a memo) but not the time to hand-build a clean deck.
Prérequis
- Python 3.10+ with python-pptx installed — pip install python-pptx
- Skill cloned — git clone https://github.com/likaku/Mck-ppt-design-skill ~/.claude/skills/Mck-ppt-design-skill
Déroulement
-
Paste your contentHere are my notes for a 10-slide deck on our Q1 strategy. Pick the right layout for each slide from the Mck skill and generate the python-pptx code.✓ Copié→ Per-slide layout choice + rationale
-
Run the scriptSave the script, run it, and give me the .pptx path.✓ Copié→ A valid .pptx on disk
-
Iterate on layoutSlide 5 should be a 2x2 matrix, not a bulleted list — regenerate just that slide.✓ Copié→ Updated slide without touching the rest
Résultat : A 10-slide consultancy-style deck in ~15 minutes.
Pièges
- Too many words per slide — Claude defaults to text-heavy — Constrain up-front: 'maximum 10 words per bullet, three bullets max'
- Colors look generic — Supply a brand hex palette; the skill honors it
