What it does

Simple Deck is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. OpenDesign's operating review: growth, burn, and the concrete path to sustainability without losing the open ethos. Built as a decision-grade corporate strategy deck for leadership team.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `references/checklist.md` and `references/layouts.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks. The repository describes itself as: 🎨 Best DeepSeek Harness Design Plugin. The open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Local-first desktop app. 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Slides and decks

Example prompts

  • “/simple-deck”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pre-flight
  2. Copy the seed
  3. Decide slide count + theme rhythm BEFORE writing any slide
  4. Paste and fill
  5. Self-check
  6. Write the project file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3449fa6. 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 (its code samples are 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

Simple Deck loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 433 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.1k

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.

Simple Deck Skill

Produce a single-file horizontal-swipe HTML deck using the seed and layout library.

Resource map

simple-deck/
├── SKILL.md                ← you're reading this
├── assets/
│   └── template.html       ← seed: tokens + slide primitives + proven nav script (READ FIRST)
└── references/
    ├── layouts.md          ← 8 paste-ready slide layouts + theme-rhythm rules
    └── checklist.md        ← P0/P1/P2 self-review (rhythm spot-check at bottom)

Workflow

Step 0 — Pre-flight
  1. Read assets/template.html end-to-end through the <style> block AND the <script> block. The script solves five iframe-specific bugs (real scroller detection, dual capture-phase listeners, auto-focus, no scrollIntoView, position persistence) — do not rewrite it.
  2. Read references/layouts.md so you know the 8 layouts. Pay special attention to the "Theme rhythm" section — it's the rule that prevents the deck from feeling sleepy.
  3. Read the active DESIGN.md — map its tokens to the six :root variables in the seed.
Step 1 — Copy the seed

Copy assets/template.html to the project root as index.html. Replace the six :root variables with the active design system's tokens. Replace the page <title>.

Step 2 — Decide slide count + theme rhythm BEFORE writing any slide

Default: 6 slides unless the brief says otherwise.

Audience / formatSlides
Product overview / lightning talk (5–10 min)6
Pitch deck (15 min)8–10
Investor update / longer talk (20–30 min)12–18

Then write out the rhythm before any HTML — for example, 8 slides:

01  hero light center  Cover
02  light              Problem
03  hero dark center   Big stat
04  light              Three points
05  dark               Pipeline
06  hero light center  Quote
07  light              Before / after
08  hero dark center   Ask

A healthy sequence has:

  • No 3+ same theme in a row
  • ≥ 1 hero dark AND ≥ 1 hero light (for 8+ slides)
  • Alternating breath every 3–4 slides

Show this rhythm sketch to the user before writing slide HTML — they can redirect cheaply.

Step 3 — Paste and fill

For each planned slide, copy the matching <section> from layouts.md into the body. Replace bracketed text with real, specific copy. No filler / no lorem. If a slide feels empty, the layout is wrong — pick a different one.

Tag each slide with data-screen-label="01 Cover", "02 Problem", etc., in the order you wrote them. (The seed's first three slides already do this — extend the pattern.)

Show full SKILL.md (146 more words)Show less
Step 4 — Self-check

Run through references/checklist.md. The "Theme rhythm spot-check" at the end is non-negotiable:

bash
grep 'class="slide' index.html

Read the resulting class list. If you see light × 4 in a row, swap one to dark. If no hero dark exists in an 8+ slide deck, promote one big-stat or closing slide.

Step 5 — Write the project file

Write the completed deck HTML to index.html.

Then send one short ordinary assistant summary naming index.html and describing the deck. Do not output the full HTML source in chat and do not emit a source-code <artifact> block.

Hard rules

  • Theme class on every slide (light | dark | hero light | hero dark). Bare class="slide" = regression.
  • No 3+ same theme in a row.
  • Display = serif via var(--font-display). .h-hero / .h-xl / .h-md already enforce.
  • One accent per slide, used at most twice.
  • Don't rewrite the nav script. It's proven.
  • No scrollIntoView(). Breaks iframe.
  • data-screen-label on every slide.

Can I use Simple Deck in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill simple-deck -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/simple-deck, .gemini/skills/simple-deck, .github/skills/simple-deck and .opencode/skills/simple-deck in your project.

What does Simple Deck need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Simple Deck is instructions for the agent only.

Does Simple Deck access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Simple Deck safe to install?
