What it does
Extract Slide Text is an agent skill from pamelafox/presentation-skills. Extract text from each page of a PDF into a markdown file using pdftotext. Produces slideascii.md with a heading, image reference, and extracted text per slide. USE FOR: extract text from PDF slides, get slide text content, PDF to markdown text, slideascii.md.
Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `extract_slide_text.py`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and PDF. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to process presentations - helpful for teachers and speakers. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : extract text from PDF slides
- Get slide text content
- PDF to markdown text
Example prompts
- “/extract-slide-text”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2b809b3. 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
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvbrewapt-get
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Extract Slide Text loads about 440 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 139 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- extract-slide-text
- description
- Extract text from each page of a PDF into a markdown file using pdftotext. Produces slide_ascii.md with a heading, image reference, and extracted text per slide. USE FOR: extract text from PDF slides, get slide text content, PDF to markdown text, slide_ascii.md.
- argument-hint
- <pdf_path> <output_path> [images_dir]
Extract slide text from PDF
Run the extract_slide_text.py script to extract the text content of each PDF page into a structured markdown file:
uv run .agents/skills/extract-slide-text/extract_slide_text.py <pdf_path> <output_path> [images_dir]Arguments
pdf_path(required): Path to the PDF file.output_path(required): Path to write the output markdown fileimages_dir(optional): Path to the slide images directory. Used to generate correct relative image references. Defaults toslide_images/.
Output format
A markdown file with one section per slide:
## Slide 1
\```
Extracted text content from slide 1
\```
## Slide 2
\```
Extracted text content from slide 2
\```Pages with no extractable text (e.g., full-bleed images) show (no extractable text).
Why this matters
PDF text extraction is deterministic — it produces ground-truth slide content without relying on vision models. This prevents misidentification of embedded screenshots or demo captures as actual slide content, a common failure mode when using only image-based slide analysis.
Prerequisites
Poppler utilities must be installed (provides the pdftotext command):
- macOS:
brew install poppler - Ubuntu:
apt-get install poppler-utils
