Slides — user guide
The Slides plugin turns a description into a finished, self-contained HTML slide deck. The output is one deck.html file — inline CSS and JavaScript, no build step, no dependencies beyond Google Fonts. Open it in any browser, navigate with arrow keys or swipe, and press P to export to PDF.
When to use it
- You need a deck and want to describe what to say rather than format slides by hand.
- You have an existing
deck.htmland want to add slides, restyle it, or get a critique. - You want a presentation that lives as plain text — version-controllable, diffable, and readable without a binary editor.
The commands
/slides— generate a complete deck from a description. Auto-detects the best storytelling format (talk, pitch, sales, board, product launch) and writes a singledeck.html. You can pass the brief inline (/slides "a 20-minute talk on AI-assisted development") or run it bare and describe in the follow-up./slides-outline— draft just the structure (section-by-section) without producing HTML, so you can agree the narrative first./add-slide— insert one or more slides into an existing deck, matching its theme and components./slides-theme— restyle a deck. Three built-in themes: Default (warm, editorial), Craft (richer textures, art overlays), Solid (glass morphism, gradients). Any other argument is treated as a custom theme described in text or extracted from an attached image./slides-review— critique the current deck on storytelling, design, and voice consistency./slides-new-component— build a new reusable slide component aligned with the design system's tokens./slides-claus— generate a deck using the Solid theme with the Claus storytelling structure.
Storytelling formats
/slides routes to one of six narrative structures based on your brief: conference talk (TED-style), Sequoia investor pitch, McKinsey SCR (situation-complication-resolution), product launch, board update, and sales. Name the format in your brief to force one explicitly.
What you get
A 25-component design system (title slides, metric cards, quotes, comparison tables, timelines, and more), responsive layout, and three interchangeable themes — all inside one portable file.
Notes
This is a frozen, vendored copy of the open-source Slides™ framework (MIT). It ships installed and available on every account; enable it per session like any other plugin if it is not already active.
