At a glance

Turns written content into designed slide images from an outline, merges them into PPTX or PDF, and can borrow styles from a registry of brand design systems.

  • Works in 9 steps: Setup & Analyze → Confirmation ⚠️ REQUIRED → Generate Outline → …
  • Turning an article or notes into a designed presentation as images
  • SKILL.md covers Usage, Script Directory, Options and Style System, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls npx and python3

What it does

You point the command at a content file, such as /space-slide-deck path/to/content.md, and the agent builds an outline with style instructions, generates one image per slide and merges the slides with scripts/merge-to-pptx.ts or scripts/merge-to-pdf.ts. Options set the style, audience (beginners to executives), output language and slide count, and the slide count scales with content length. You can stop after the outline or the prompts, generate images from an existing prompts folder, or regenerate chosen slides by number.

Brand mode draws on a registry of more than 60 brand styles from getdesign.md. With --brand-style auto the skill picks a smart match, with recommend scripts/recommend_brand_styles.py offers 5 matched styles plus one smart match, and a brand you name is used directly. The brand's design spec is fetched with npx getdesign before the outline is written. References cover layouts, content rules, design guidelines and style dimensions such as density, mood, texture and typography.

When your agent uses it

  • Turning an article or notes into a designed presentation as images
  • Producing a deck in the visual style of a well-known brand
  • Regenerating a few slides of an existing deck after changing the outline
  • Exporting a finished slide set as both PPTX and PDF

Example prompts

  • “/space-slide-deck notes/q3-review.md --style sketch-notes --audience executives”
  • “Make a brand style PPT from launch-plan.md and recommend a few matching brand looks first.”
  • “Generate only the outline for report.md so I can approve it before any images.”
  • “Regenerate slides 2, 5 and 8 of the deck in output/.”

Requirements

  • Python for the brand style recommender
  • npx for fetching brand design specs
  • An image-generation setup for the slide images

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Setup & Analyze
  2. Confirmation ⚠️ REQUIRED
  3. Generate Outline
  4. Review Outline (Conditional)
  5. Generate Prompts
  6. Review Prompts (Conditional)
  7. Generate Images
  8. Merge to PPTX and PDF
  9. Output Summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f1d835f. 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 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, 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

Slide Deck Image Generator loads about 6.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~35k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 145 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,966 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~145
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~35k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,966 words (~6,507 tokens).

“Transform content into professional slide deck images.”
