What it does

New Slide Deck is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Creates a Quarto revealjs slide deck in slides/ with the project style guide. Use when a presentation is needed.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库,覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…

When your agent uses it

  • A presentation is needed
  • Tasks that involve Slides and decks

Example prompts

  • “Use the new-slide-deck skill to create a Quarto revealjs slide deck in slides/ with the project style guide”
  • “/new-slide-deck”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse the title (and subtitle, if separated by a colon) from the arguments.
  2. Check slides/ for existing files to avoid name collisions. Generate a filename using the naming convention from slides/README.md (e.g…
  3. Create the .qmd file in slides/ with this YAML front matter (from the style guide in slides/README.md)
  4. Pre-populate the body with a standard academic talk structure
  5. Render the slide deck to verify it compiles
  6. Report the file path and the command to re-render.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml, markdown and bash).

    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

New Slide Deck loads about 555 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 121 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~555

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 121 words (~555 tokens).
