What it does

Slides Grab Card News is an agent skill from NomaDamas/slides-grab. Generate square Instagram-style card news by reusing the slides-grab workflow with card-news mode enabled. Defaults to per-slide PNG export.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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. It works with Instagram, Figma and Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Best harness + editor + linter for generating slides in Claude Code / Codex - Claude Design Open Source Alternative. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Slides and decks

Example prompts

  • “/slides-grab-card-news”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Reuse the normal outline process from slides-grab-plan.
  2. During design and review, keep every card at 720pt x 720pt and run
  3. During export, default to per-slide PNG for Instagram-ready output
  4. Only produce PDF/PPTX/Figma when the user explicitly asks for it
  5. Remind the user that PPTX/Figma exports remain experimental / unstable.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 49bdaed. 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

Slides Grab Card News loads about 532 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~532

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.

Square card-news workflow on top of slides-grab (PNG by default)

slides-grab Card News Skill

Use this when the user wants card news instead of a widescreen presentation.

Goal

Reuse the existing slides-grab plan/design/export workflow, but generate square outputs optimized for Instagram posts. Per-slide PNG is the default export since Instagram and most card-news distribution channels consume images, not PDFs.

Workflow

  1. Reuse the normal outline process from slides-grab-plan.
  2. During design and review, keep every card at 720pt x 720pt and run:
    • slides-grab validate --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news
    • slides-grab build-viewer --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news
    • slides-grab edit --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news
  3. During export, default to per-slide PNG for Instagram-ready output:
    • slides-grab png --slides-dir <path> --slide-mode card-news --resolution 2160p
    • Optional --output-dir <path>/out-png to choose the output folder (defaults to <slides-dir>/out-png).
  4. Only produce PDF/PPTX/Figma when the user explicitly asks for it:
    • slides-grab pdf --slides-dir <path> --slide-mode card-news --output <name>.pdf
    • slides-grab convert --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news --output <name>.pptx (experimental / unstable)
    • slides-grab figma --slides-dir <path> --mode card-news --output <name>-figma.pptx (experimental / unstable)
  5. Remind the user that PPTX/Figma exports remain experimental / unstable.

Rules

  • Optimize layouts for square Instagram-style card news, not 16:9 slides.
  • Default the export to slides-grab png --slide-mode card-news; only switch to PDF/PPTX/Figma when the user explicitly requests it.
  • Reuse existing design, viewer, editor, and export policy wherever possible.
  • Do not implement SNS/Instagram publishing automation.
  • Use the packaged CLI and bundled skills only.
