Generates style-driven slide images with the Image 2 model, packs them into image-only PPTX decks and keeps a reusable library of visual styles.

  • Works in 12 steps: Classify the request → If extracting a style, produce a concise… → If applying a style, select the saved… → …
  • Turning a document or article into a visual slide deck
  • SKILL.md covers Highest Priority Rule: Image 2…, Core Idea, Required References and Default Behavior, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Image 2 is the highest-priority rule: every slide image, thumbnail board, infographic or article illustration must come from the Image 2 model, and HTML, CSS, SVG, canvas or screenshot routes are forbidden even as a fallback; if Image 2 is unavailable, the agent stops and says so. PPTX files are only containers, assembled after approved page images exist, so a requested PPT becomes an image-only deck of full-slide pages, 16:9 by default.

The skill also treats visual style as a reusable asset: you can extract style keywords from documents or visual references, save them, list the saved styles and apply one to a document, outline, deck, Xiaohongshu information graphic or article illustration. Reference files cover the workflow, output packaging, page types, revisions and style interviews, and three style files ship with it: french-editorial-commerce, impact-grid-editorial and terminal-tech-magazine, the last being the default. Editable PPTX content is not a goal unless you override the skill.

When your agent uses it

  • Turning a document or article into a visual slide deck
  • Saving a visual style from references and reusing it on later decks
  • Producing an image-only PPTX from generated slide images
  • Listing the saved PPT styles and applying one
  • Revising individual generated pages after the first pass

Example prompts

  • “Turn this article into a ten-slide image deck in the terminal-tech-magazine style.”
  • “Extract the visual style from these reference screenshots and save it as a reusable style.”
  • “List my saved PPT styles and apply the editorial one to my quarterly update document.”

Requirements

  • Access to the Image 2 image generation model

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify the request
  2. If extracting a style, produce a concise style keyword profile and ask whether to save it as a Markdown file under styles/. Save style…
  3. If applying a style, select the saved style
  4. If creating from a document path, read the document, extract the story arc, audience, page count suggestion, and visual moments before…
  5. Before generating images or PPTs, confirm only missing production parameters that materially affect the result: page count, ratio…
  6. Do not add date/time by default. If the output must contain any date, time, "today", publication date, log date, report date, or timestamp…
  7. Select page types from references/page-types.md and map each slide to one page type.
  8. Generate outline.md and prompts.md before any Image2 generation. outline.md contains the slide plan and page roles. prompts.md contains…
  9. For multi-page visual slide output, use this preferred two-pass generation sequence when feasible
  10. For visual slide output, create full-slide Image2 prompts and generate complete slide images only after the user confirms outline.md and…
  11. Final slide image output is always page-by-page: save and present each slide as its own image file using a stable ordered naming pattern…
  12. After images are generated, present the image set for review and ask the user to confirm whether all images are approved or which pages…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a1cca7d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Visual Style PPT loads about 4.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,737 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,737 words (~4,758 tokens).

“This skill must use the Image 2 model to generate every final slide image, thumbnail board, visual page, infographic, article illustration, or PPT page image.”
