Slidev Presentations

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Slides and decks
• Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations
• Tasks that involve Cloud office suites

Example prompts

• “Use the slidev-presentations skill to create Slidev markdown presentations for developers. An agent skill from nicepkg/ai-workflow”
• “/slidev-presentations”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Node.js

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Duration: Lightning (5-10 min) to deep dive (45-60 min)
2. 2Audience: Peers, leadership, external, onboarding
3. 3Format: Lecture, demo-heavy, workshop, Q&A-heavy
4. 4Venue: Team meeting, conference, client presentation
5. 5Focus Areas: Architecture, features, API, testing, DevOps
6. 6Technical Depth: High-level, moderate, deep dive
7. 7Core Message: What's the ONE thing to remember?
8. 8Call to Action: What should audience DO after?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d167b41. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npx
  • npm
  • pnpm

  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:

  • sli.dev

  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

Slidev Presentations loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 725 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~73

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.3k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~10k

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

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.
