What it does

Slide Deck Images is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Generate professional slide-deck SVG images (not PPTX/PDF) when users ask to “create slides / slide deck / PPT” and need image outputs.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 37 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `outline.md`, `references/analysis-framework.md` and `references/base-prompt.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and PowerPoint presentations. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Slides and decks
  • Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations

Example prompts

  • “create slides / slide deck / PPT”
  • “/slide-deck-images”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Setup & Analyze
  2. Confirmation (required)
  3. Generate outline
  4. Review outline (conditional)
  5. Generate prompts
  6. Review prompts (conditional)
  7. Generate SVG images
  8. Output summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Slide Deck Images loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 902 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~25k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to produce slide images as SVG files (plus outline/prompts), especially when:

  1. A user asks for a “slide deck”, “PPT”, or “presentation” but explicitly wants images (SVG) rather than PPTX/PDF.
  2. You need a readable, shareable deck optimized for scrolling/swiping (each slide stands alone without a presenter).
  3. You want a style-driven deck using presets (e.g., corporate, minimal, blueprint) or custom style dimensions.
  4. You need a structured workflow with optional review gates (outline review, prompt review) before generating images.
  5. You need to regenerate specific slides (e.g., only slide 3 or slides 2,5,8) without rebuilding everything.

Key Features

  • SVG-only output: Generates .svg slide images (no PPTX/PDF generation).
  • Deterministic file structure:
    • Output directory: slides-svg/
    • Naming: NN-slide-[slug].svg
  • End-to-end workflow: Analyze → confirm → outline → prompts → SVG render → summary.
  • Style system:
    • Preset styles (e.g., blueprint, corporate, sketch-notes, notion, etc.)
    • Custom style dimensions: texture, mood, typography, density
    • Automatic preset recommendation based on content signals
  • Review controls:
    • --outline-only, --prompts-only, --images-only
    • Optional outline/prompt review steps via confirmation questions
  • Selective regeneration: --regenerate <N> or --regenerate 2,5,8
  • No image-model dependency: SVG rendering is performed by a Python script using configuration parameters.

Dependencies

  • Python 3.10+
  • Project script: scripts/generate_svg.py (invoked locally)
  • Reference/spec files (used by the workflow):
    • references/analysis-framework.md
    • references/outline-template.md
    • references/base-prompt.md
    • references/layouts.md
    • references/design-guidelines.md
    • references/dimensions/*.md
    • references/styles/<style>.md
    • references/config/preferences-schema.md

Example Usage

CLI (skill invocation)
bash
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers"
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers" --style corporate
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers" --audience executives
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers" --lang en
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers" --slides 10
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers" --outline-only
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers" --prompts-only
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers" --images-only
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers" --regenerate 3
/slide-deck "Explain OAuth 2.0 for product managers" --regenerate 2,5,8
/slide-deck  # then paste content
Generate SVG files locally

The SVG renderer reads parameters from its configuration area and does not use CLI arguments:

bash
python scripts/generate_svg.py

Expected outputs:

  • outline.md
  • prompts/ (one prompt file per slide)
  • slides-svg/NN-slide-[slug].svg

Implementation Details

Output constraints
  • Format: .svg

Design philosophy (reader-first decks)

Decks are designed for reading and sharing, not live presenting:

  • Each slide is understandable without narration.
  • Logical flow when scrolling/swiping.
  • Each slide includes necessary context.
  • Optimized for social sharing.

See: references/design-guidelines.md (visual hierarchy, density, colors, fonts, recommendations).
Layouts: references/layouts.md.

Workflow and state files
Step 1: Setup & Analyze
  1. Load preferences from EXTEND.md (if present) and summarize:

    • Style (preset/custom)
    • Audience (or auto-detect)
    • Language (or auto-detect)
    • Review enabled/disabled
      Schema: references/config/preferences-schema.md
  2. Analyze content (per references/analysis-framework.md):

    • Save input as source.md (backup existing as source-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md)
    • Detect language
    • Recommend style preset from content signals
    • Estimate slide count
    • Generate topic slug
  3. Check existing content (required) before confirmation:

    • If output directory exists, ask how to proceed:
      • Regenerate outline (keep images)
      • Regenerate images (keep outline)
      • Backup and regenerate all ({slug}-backup-{timestamp})
      • Exit
    • Save analysis.md with topic, audience, signals, recommended style, slide count, language.
Step 2: Confirmation (required)
  • Two rounds:

    • Round 1: always
    • Round 2: only if “Custom dimensions” is selected
  • Round 1 questions (AskUserQuestion):

    1. Style (recommended preset / alternative / custom dimensions)
    2. Audience (general/beginners/experts/executives)
    3. Slide count (recommended / fewer / more)
    4. Review outline? (yes/no)
    5. Review prompts? (yes/no)
  • Round 2 (custom dimensions): AskUserQuestion for texture, mood, typography, density.

After confirmation:

  • Write results back to analysis.md
  • Record skip_outline_review and skip_prompt_review
Step 3: Generate outline
  • If preset: read references/styles/{preset}.md
  • If custom: combine from references/dimensions/
  • Follow references/outline-template.md
  • Save as outline.md
  • Stop if --outline-only
  • If skip_outline_review → skip to Step 5, else Step 4
Step 4: Review outline (conditional)
  • Show slide summary table (title/type/layout)
  • Ask whether to proceed, edit outline.md, or regenerate outline
Step 5: Generate prompts
  • Base prompt: references/base-prompt.md
  • For each slide:
    • Extract style instructions from outline
    • Merge layout guidance from references/layouts.md when specified
  • Save to prompts/
    • Backup existing prompt files as prompts/NN-slide-{slug}-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md
  • Stop if --prompts-only
  • If skip_prompt_review → skip to Step 7, else Step 6
Step 6: Review prompts (conditional)
  • Show prompt list table and prompts/ path
  • Ask whether to proceed, edit prompts, or regenerate prompts
Step 7: Generate SVG images
  • If --images-only, start here
  • If --regenerate, render only specified pages
  • Render via scripts/generate_svg.py
  • Create session id: slides-{topic-slug}-{timestamp}
  • Backup existing images as NN-slide-{slug}-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.svg
  • Progress reporting: Generated X/N (in user language)
  • Retry once on failure, then report error
Step 8: Output summary

Include:

  • Topic
  • Style (preset or custom dimensions)
  • Total slides
  • List of generated SVG filenames
  • outline.md location
