A Claude Code skill for building and rehearsing a short (2–5 minute) spoken startup pitch for a cross-cultural, international-readiness audience — demo nights, pitch competitions, and accelerator showcases where the judges may not know your home market.
This is not an investor deck. It's the 3 minutes you say out loud, written to make a foreign judge picture your customer, problem, and market without local knowledge.

This places the skill and its slash-commands in the right folders automatically (pitch-night ships in the accelerator, mentoring, and founder tracks, and the full pack). Node 18+ and git are the only prerequisites. Then fully close and reopen Claude Code.
pitch-night is a Claude Code skill + slash-commands, and Claude Code loads those from two separate folders — skills from ~/.claude/skills/, slash-commands from ~/.claude/commands/. A plain git clone into one location wires up neither correctly, so clone once and copy each part into place.
Mac / Linux (Terminal):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ORBWEVA/pitch-night.git /tmp/pitch-night mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills ~/.claude/commands cp -R /tmp/pitch-night/skills/pitch-night ~/.claude/skills/pitch-night cp -R /tmp/pitch-night/commands/pitch-night ~/.claude/commands/pitch-night rm -rf /tmp/pitch-night
Windows (PowerShell):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ORBWEVA/pitch-night.git $env:TEMP\pitch-night New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $HOME\.claude\skills, $HOME\.claude\commands | Out-Null Copy-Item -Recurse -Force $env:TEMP\pitch-night\skills\pitch-night $HOME\.claude\skills\pitch-night Copy-Item -Recurse -Force $env:TEMP\pitch-night\commands\pitch-night $HOME\.claude\commands\pitch-night Remove-Item -Recurse -Force $env:TEMP\pitch-night
Then fully close and reopen Claude Code, and run /pitch-night:help.
/pitch-night:*commands don't appear? The commands live in~/.claude/commands/pitch-night/— confirm that folder exists and holdsbuild.md,score.md, etc. If you only cloned into~/.claude/skills/, you skipped the commands copy above (the skill loads but its slash-commands won't). Re-run the standalone steps, or use thenpxinstaller, then restart Claude Code.- Don't use
/plugin install. On some Windows builds it fails withCommand 'git' not found or is in an unsafe location (current directory)even thoughgit --versionworks — a Node/Windows quirk in how that command spawns git, not a broken git install. The install steps above don't need it. gitnot recognized (Windows)? Install Git first: https://git-scm.com/download/win — then close and reopen PowerShell.- Don't paste a URL on its own.
git clonemust come first; pasting just the address makes the terminal try to run it as a program and fail.
