What it does

Slidecraft is an agent skill from solid-shuwen/shuttleslide. Convert PowerPoint (PPTX) files to HTML and back, analyze PPTX structure, generate slide decks from topics via LLM, pre-cache CDN assets, or launch the interactive review web UI. Use this when the user wants to work with PowerPoint presentations -- convert ppt to html, html to pptx, inspect pptx contents, or generate slides.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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 PowerPoint presentations and Slides and decks. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Python toolkit for PowerPoint ↔ HTML, built for AI. Round-trip fidelity preserves formatting across every edit loop — ideal for RAG ingestion, LLM agents, and AI-assisted slide… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to work with PowerPoint presentations -- convert ppt to html
  • Inspect pptx contents
  • Generate slides

Example prompts

  • “/slidecraft”

Requirements

  • A credential in SHUTTLESLIDE_API_KEY
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(slidecraft *)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae3ce5c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(slidecraft *)

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SHUTTLESLIDE_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Slidecraft loads about 466 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~466

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.

slidecraft json-to-pptx slides.json -o output.pptx
Analyze PPTX structure
slidecraft analyze input.pptx
slidecraft analyze input.pptx -v
Generate slides from a topic (requires LLM)
slidecraft generate "Introduction to ML" -o tmp/gen/
slidecraft generate -i outline.md --style cute -o tmp/gen/

Needs SHUTTLESLIDE_API_BASE, SHUTTLESLIDE_API_KEY, SHUTTLESLIDE_MODEL env vars or --api-base/--api-key/--model flags.

Pre-cache CDN assets
slidecraft warm-cache
slidecraft warm-cache --force
Interactive review web UI
slidecraft review
slidecraft review --port 9000 --no-browser

Common patterns

  • Output path: -o accepts file path or directory (trailing slash).
  • Verbose: add -v to any command.
  • All conversions preserve formatting for round-trip fidelity.
