When to Use

Activate this skill when the user wants to:

• Create slides, presentations, decks, or pitch decks
• Add charts or diagrams to slides
• Export slides to PDF or PPTX
• Work with Marp markdown
• Mentions AgentPreso by name
• Needs a visual summary, report, or briefing in slide format

Markdown Format

Decks are single .md files. Frontmatter sets metadata and theme:

---
marp: true
theme: glacier
title: My Presentation
---

<!-- _class: title-hero -->

# Presentation Title

Subtitle or tagline

---

<!-- _class: bullets -->

# Key Points

- First insight with supporting detail
- Second insight with data
- Third insight with takeaway

---

<!-- _class: two-col -->

# Comparison

::: left

**Option A**
Description of the first option.

::: right

**Option B**
Description of the second option.

Key syntax:

• --- separates slides
• <!-- _class: layout-name --> sets a slide layout
• ::: left, ::: right, ::: center mark columns
• <!-- _class: invert --> enables dark mode on a slide
• {{variable}} template variables replaced at render time
• asset://filename.png references uploaded images
• Chart blocks: ```chart with YAML (type, data with labels/​values or x/​series)
• Diagram blocks: ```mermaid with Mermaid syntax
• AI images: ```generated_image with a text prompt

Slide Design Principles

• Every slide needs a visual — use charts, diagrams, images, or icons. Walls of text lose the audience.
• Vary your layouts — alternate between bullets, two-col, img-right, stats-grid. Repetition is boring.
• One idea per slide — if you have two points, make two slides. Density kills clarity.
• Preview before you are done — render and review. Adjust text fitting, check image placement, verify chart readability.

Review Strategy

After creating a deck, preview every slide and review for quality. Two approaches:

Parallel (recommended when subagents are available): Spawn read-only subagents to review slide PNGs in parallel — one per slide or batch of 2-3. Each subagent checks the 3-second test, title quality, text density, visual presence, and layout fit, then reports findings as text. The parent agent collects findings, edits the .md file once, and re-previews only changed slides. See commands/​create-deck.md for the full protocol.

Sequential (default): Review each slide preview yourself, fix issues, re-push, re-preview until satisfied.
