What it does
Fetch Slides is an agent skill from pamelafox/presentation-skills. Fetch presentation slides from a URL and convert them to PDF. Supports direct PDF URLs, PPTX URLs, OneDrive sharing links, and RevealJS HTML presentations. For RevealJS, also extracts slide text content and links to a markdown file. USE FOR: download slides, fetch slides from URL, convert PPTX to PDF, get RevealJS slides, OneDrive slides.
Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `fetch_slides.py`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and PowerPoint presentations. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft OneDrive, LibreOffice and Playwright. 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
- : download slides
- Fetch slides from URL
- Convert PPTX to PDF
- Get RevealJS slides
Example prompts
- “/fetch-slides”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The script makes an HTTP HEAD request to detect the content type
- Based on the content type
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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
onedrive.live.com1drv.ms
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
Fetch Slides loads about 528 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 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.

- <url> <output_dir>
Fetch slides from a URL
Run the fetch_slides.py script to download and convert slides:
uv run .agents/skills/fetch-slides/fetch_slides.py <url> <output_dir>Arguments
url(required): URL of the slides. Supported formats:- Direct PDF URL (e.g., https://example.com/slides.pdf)
- PPTX URL (auto-detected via Content-Type header)
- OneDrive sharing link (e.g.,
https://onedrive.live.com/:p:/g/personal/...orhttps://1drv.ms/...) - RevealJS HTML presentation URL (e.g.,
https://example.com/slides/)
output_dir(required): Directory to save output files. Created if it doesn't exist.
Outputs
- slides.pdf — Always produced. The presentation as a PDF file.
- slides_content.md — Only for RevealJS presentations. Contains extracted text content and links from each slide, with section headings marked.
Prerequisites
- For PPTX conversion: LibreOffice must be installed
- macOS:
brew install --cask libreoffice - Ubuntu:
apt-get install libreoffice
- macOS:
- For RevealJS presentations: Playwright browsers must be installed
uv run playwright install chromium
How it works
- The script makes an HTTP HEAD request to detect the content type
- Based on the content type:
- PDF: Downloads directly
- PPTX: Downloads the file, then converts to PDF using LibreOffice (headless mode)
- OneDrive: Converts the sharing URL to a direct download URL (appends
?download=1), then handles as PDF or PPTX - RevealJS HTML: Uses Playwright to open the presentation with
?print-pdfappended, renders to PDF. Also parses the HTML to extract slide text content and links.
