What it does

Outline Slides is an agent skill from pamelafox/presentation-skills. Generate a numbered outline of presentation slides with one-sentence summaries. Looks at each slide image and produces a brief description. USE FOR: summarize slides, outline presentation, describe slide images, create slide summary.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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. 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

  • : summarize slides
  • Outline presentation
  • Describe slide images
  • Create slide summary

Example prompts

  • “/outline-slides”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find all slide_*.png files in the specified directory, sorted numerically by slide number.
  2. If slide_ascii.md is available, read it and use the extracted text as ground truth for each slide's content. This prevents misidentifying…
  3. Look at each slide image and write a one-sentence summary describing the content of that slide. When slide_ascii.md is available, base the…
  4. Output a numbered list matching the slide numbers.

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

    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

Outline Slides loads about 462 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 177 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~462

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.

description
Generate a numbered outline of presentation slides with one-sentence summaries. Looks at each slide image and produces a brief description. USE FOR: summarize slides, outline presentation, describe slide images, create slide summary.

Outline slides

Generate a numbered outline of all slides with one-sentence summaries per slide.

Input

  • A directory containing slide images named slide_1.png, slide_2.png, etc. (produced by the convert-slides-to-images skill).
  • Optionally, a slide_ascii.md file containing extracted text per slide (produced by the extract-slide-text skill).

Procedure

  1. Find all slide_*.png files in the specified directory, sorted numerically by slide number.
  2. If slide_ascii.md is available, read it and use the extracted text as ground truth for each slide's content. This prevents misidentifying embedded screenshots or demo captures as actual slide content.
  3. Look at each slide image and write a one-sentence summary describing the content of that slide. When slide_ascii.md is available, base the summary primarily on the extracted text, using the image only for visual context (diagrams, screenshots, etc.).
  4. Output a numbered list matching the slide numbers.

For large presentations (more than 50 slides), work through the slides in batches of 50.

Output format

1. Title slide introducing the presentation on [topic]
2. Agenda slide listing the main sections to be covered
3. Diagram showing the architecture of [system]
4. Code example demonstrating [technique]
...

Example usage

To outline slides that have already been converted to images:

Please outline the slides in presentations/my-talk/outputs/slide_images/

Save the output to outputs/outline.txt in the presentation folder for caching.
