deckset — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Guides AI agents in structuring Deckset presentations with syntax directives for code step-highlights and fitted headers.
npx skills add wendylabsinc/claude-skills --skill deckset -a claude-codeWhat deckset does
This skill supplies syntax references for generating slide decks in Deckset using Markdown. It guides the model through app-specific tags. These include [fit] for scaling headings alongside [.use-source-list-numbering] to preserve manual list orders.
Technical presentations benefit from the [.code-highlight] directives. The agent can mark single lines, ranges, or multi-step animations across presentation clicks. Note that custom code background styling cannot be set via Markdown yet and must be handled in the Deckset theme UI.
What it helps with
- format step-by-step code line highlights for slide transitions
- scale large titles across slide widths using fit markers
- preserve custom numbering schemes in ordered lists
- create slide-to-slide navigation links with HTML anchors
Example prompts for the agent
- Format this code snippet with a step highlight starting at line 2 and moving to lines 6-8.
- Create a title slide using fit tags so the header stretches across the canvas.
- Add a 3-column comparison table with center-aligned text for a Deckset presentation.
