What it does

Gamma Core Workflow B is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Generate from templates, retrieve exports, and manage sharing via Gamma API. Use when creating content from template gammas, downloading PDF/PPTX/PNG exports, or configuring sharing and folder organization. Trigger: "gamma template", "gamma export", "gamma download PDF", "gamma PPTX", "gamma sharing", "gamma from template".

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations and PDF. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

  2. Batch Template Generation
  3. Export Format Selection
  4. Retrieve Export Files
  5. Sharing Configuration
  6. curl Reference

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(curl:*)
    • Bash(node:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • public-api.gamma.app

    Also links to:

    • developers.gamma.app

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GAMMA_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Gamma Core Workflow B loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 282 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

Gamma Core Workflow B: Templates & Export

Output

Record opaque document/template ID, approved export destination, owner, review status, and next action. Keep presentation content, viewer data, and credentials in authorized systems.

Examples

Export a fictional staging template to an approved test destination, verify an unapproved destination is denied, and ensure a rerun does not create duplicate exports.

Overview

Use Gamma's template-based generation (POST /v1.0/generations/from-template) and export retrieval (GET /v1.0/generations/{id}/files) endpoints. Template generation lets you replicate a single-page gamma template across multiple variations. Export retrieval gives you downloadable PDF, PPTX, and PNG files.

Prerequisites

  • Completed gamma-core-workflow-a
  • A template gamma with exactly one page (created in the Gamma app)
  • Understanding of the generate-poll-retrieve pattern

Key Concepts

  • Template gamma: A regular gamma with exactly one page, used as a repeatable template
  • gammaId: Found in the gamma URL or copied from the app
  • Export URLs: Temporary download links returned after generation — download promptly as they expire

Instructions

Step 1: Create from Template
typescript
import { createGammaClient, pollUntilDone } from "./lib/gamma";

const gamma = createGammaClient({ apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY! });

// POST /v1.0/generations/from-template
// The template gamma MUST have exactly one page
async function generateFromTemplate(
  templateGammaId: string,
  prompt: string,
  options: {
    themeId?: string;
    exportAs?: "pdf" | "pptx" | "png";
    imageStyle?: string;
  } = {}
) {
  const { generationId } = await gamma.generateFromTemplate({
    gammaId: templateGammaId,
    prompt,
    themeId: options.themeId,
    exportAs: options.exportAs,
    imageOptions: options.imageStyle
      ? { style: options.imageStyle }
      : undefined,
  });

  return pollUntilDone(gamma, generationId);
}

// Usage: generate a sales proposal from a template
const result = await generateFromTemplate(
  "gamma_template_abc123",   // Your one-page template ID
  "Create a sales proposal for Acme Corp. Highlight our cloud migration services, 99.9% uptime SLA, and 24/7 support.",
  { exportAs: "pdf", imageStyle: "corporate professional" }
);

console.log(`View: ${result.gammaUrl}`);
console.log(`Download: ${result.exportUrl}`);
Step 2: Batch Template Generation
typescript
// Generate multiple variations from the same template
const clients = [
  { name: "Acme Corp", focus: "cloud migration" },
  { name: "TechStart Inc", focus: "AI implementation" },
  { name: "GlobalBank", focus: "security compliance" },
];

import pLimit from "p-limit";
const limit = pLimit(2); // Respect rate limits

const proposals = await Promise.allSettled(
  clients.map((client) =>
    limit(() =>
      generateFromTemplate(
        "gamma_template_abc123",
        `Proposal for ${client.name} focusing on ${client.focus}. Include pricing tier for enterprise. Reference their industry.`,
        { exportAs: "pptx" }
      )
    )
  )
);

proposals.forEach((r, i) => {
  const status = r.status === "fulfilled" ? r.value.gammaUrl : `FAILED: ${r.reason}`;
  console.log(`${clients[i].name}: ${status}`);
});
Step 3: Export Format Selection
typescript
// Export is specified at generation time via `exportAs`
// You cannot export an already-generated gamma via the API
// Instead, generate with the desired export format

// PDF export — best for sharing externally
const pdfResult = await gamma.generate({
  content: "Annual report for 2025",
  outputFormat: "document",
  exportAs: "pdf",
});

// PPTX export — for editing in PowerPoint/Google Slides
// Note: PPTX exports may have layout shifts and font differences
const pptxResult = await gamma.generate({
  content: "Team kickoff presentation",
  outputFormat: "presentation",
  exportAs: "pptx",
});

// PNG export — for thumbnails or social sharing
const pngResult = await gamma.generate({
  content: "Product announcement graphic",
  outputFormat: "social_post",
  exportAs: "png",
});
Step 4: Retrieve Export Files
typescript
// After generation completes, exportUrl is in the poll response
// Download files promptly — URLs expire after a period

import { writeFile } from "node:fs/promises";

async function downloadExport(generationId: string, outputPath: string) {
  // Poll until complete
  const result = await pollUntilDone(gamma, generationId);

  if (!result.exportUrl) {
    throw new Error("No export URL — did you specify exportAs?");
  }

  // Download the file
  const response = await fetch(result.exportUrl);
  if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Download failed: ${response.status}`);

  const buffer = Buffer.from(await response.arrayBuffer());
  await writeFile(outputPath, buffer);
  console.log(`Saved to ${outputPath} (${buffer.length} bytes)`);
}

// Usage
const { generationId } = await gamma.generate({
  content: "Sales deck for Q1 review",
  outputFormat: "presentation",
  exportAs: "pdf",
});

await downloadExport(generationId, "./output/q1-review.pdf");
Step 5: Sharing Configuration
typescript
// Configure who can access the generated gamma
const { generationId } = await gamma.generate({
  content: "Internal strategy document",
  outputFormat: "document",
  sharingOptions: {
    // Workspace members
    workspaceAccess: "comment",  // noAccess | view | comment | edit | fullAccess

    // External (non-workspace) visitors
    externalAccess: "noAccess",  // Lock down for internal docs

    // Share with specific people via email
    emailOptions: {
      emails: ["partner@example.com"],
      accessLevel: "view",
    },
  },
});
Step 6: curl Reference
bash
# Generate from template
curl -X POST "https://public-api.gamma.app/v1.0/generations/from-template" \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${GAMMA_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "gammaId": "your_template_gamma_id",
    "prompt": "Create a proposal for Acme Corp focusing on cloud services",
    "exportAs": "pdf",
    "themeId": "theme_abc123",
    "imageOptions": { "style": "photorealistic" },
    "sharingOptions": {
      "workspaceAccess": "edit",
      "externalAccess": "view"
    }
  }'

# Poll for result
curl "https://public-api.gamma.app/v1.0/generations/${GEN_ID}" \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${GAMMA_API_KEY}" | jq '{status, gammaUrl, exportUrl, creditsUsed}'
