## What it does

The skill runs in stages: it drafts an outline for the slide count you ask for, expands each section for a given audience, suggests visuals, then formats everything as Marp markdown. The built-in structure covers a title slide, agenda, an opening hook, three to five content sections, a summary with a call to action, and a closing slide with contact details and a Q&A prompt.

You need the `office-mcp` MCP server with the `create_pptx` and `add_slide` tools. Without it you get markdown only, no generated file. Recommended models are `claude-sonnet-4` and `claude-opus-4`; `claude-3-5-sonnet`, `gpt-4` and `gpt-4o` are listed as compatible. The skill itself supports English and Chinese, so check any deck you write in another language.

One thing to know before you start: the skill advises a maximum of six bullets per slide, six words each. That means it will trim long paragraphs on its own. If a slide needs exact wording, write that text separately and paste it in.

# AI Slides Skill

## Overview

This skill enables AI-powered presentation generation. Provide a topic or outline, and get a complete, polished presentation with proper structure, content, and formatting.

## How to Use

1. Provide a topic, outline, or rough notes
2. Specify audience and presentation length
3. I'll generate a complete presentation

**Example prompts:**
- "Create a 10-slide presentation about machine learning"
- "Generate a pitch deck for a SaaS startup"
- "Build training slides on cybersecurity basics"
- "Make a quarterly review presentation from this data"

## Domain Knowledge

### Presentation Structure

```yaml
# Effective presentation structure
structure:
  - title_slide:
      title: "Clear, compelling title"
      subtitle: "Context or tagline"
      author: "Presenter name"
  
  - agenda:
      items: 3-5 main topics
  
  - introduction:
      hook: "Attention-grabbing opening"
      context: "Why this matters"
  
  - main_content:
      sections: 3-5 key points
      each_section:
        - heading
        - 3-5 bullets or visual
        - supporting data
  
  - conclusion:
      summary: "Key takeaways"
      call_to_action: "What to do next"
  
  - closing:
      thank_you: true
      contact_info: true
      qa_prompt: true
```

### Content Generation Pattern

```python
def generate_presentation(topic, audience, slide_count=10):
    """AI-powered presentation generation."""
    
    # 1. Generate outline
    outline = generate_outline(topic, slide_count)
    
    # 2. Expand each section
    slides = []
    for section in outline:
        slide_content = expand_section(section, audience)
````
