Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Presentation Design & Storyboarding Design presentations that communicate clearly, hold attention, and drive action — grounded in visual design principles and narrative structure. ## Core Principles ### 1. One Idea Per Slide Every slide should communicate exactly one idea. If a slide has multiple takeaways, split it. Audiences can only process one concept at a time during a live presentation. ### 2. Visual Hierarchy Guides the Eye The most important element on each slide should be the most visually prominent. Size, color, position, and whitespace direct attention — use them deliberately. ### 3. Slides Support the Speaker, Not Replace Them Slides are visual aids, not teleprompters. Text-heavy slides cause the audience to read instead of listen. Keep text minimal; let the speaker deliver the details. ### 4. Consistency Builds Trust A consistent color palette, typography system, layout grid, and animation style signal professionalism. Every inconsistency distracts and erodes credibility. --- ## Presentation Design Maturity Model | Level | Slide Design | Story Structure | Visual Consistency | Audience Adaptation | |-------|-------------|----------------|-------------------|----------

What does the presentation-design skill do?
Presentation Design & Storyboarding: Slide design principles, visual hierarchy, layout, typography, and storyboarding for compelling presentations
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills --skill presentation-design --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills, a repository with 364 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
