slides
Create and edit presentation slide decks (`.pptx`) with PptxGenJS, bundled layout helpers, and render/validation utilities. Use when tasks involve building a new PowerPoint deck, recreating slides from screenshots/PDFs/reference decks, modifying slide content while preserving editable output, adding charts/diagrams/visuals, or diagnosing layout issues such as overflow, overlaps, and font substitution.
npx skills add fcakyon/claude-codex-settings --skill slides --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Slides ## Overview Use PptxGenJS for slide authoring. Do not use `python-pptx` for deck generation unless the task is inspection-only; keep editable output in JavaScript and deliver both the `.pptx` and the source `.js`. Keep work in a task-local directory. Only copy final artifacts to the requested destination after rendering and validation pass. ## Bundled Resources - `assets/pptxgenjs_helpers/`: Copy this folder into the deck workspace and import it locally instead of reimplementing helper logic. - `scripts/render_slides.py`: Rasterize a `.pptx` or `.pdf` to per-slide PNGs. - `scripts/slides_test.py`: Detect content that overflows the slide canvas. - `scripts/create_montage.py`: Build a contact-sheet style montage of rendered slides. - `scripts/detect_font.py`: Report missing or substituted fonts as LibreOffice resolves them. - `scripts/ensure_raster_image.py`: Convert SVG/EMF/HEIC/PDF-like assets into PNGs for quick inspection. - `references/pptxgenjs-helpers.md`: Load only when you need API details or dependency notes. ## Workflow 1. Inspect the request and determine whether you are creating a new deck, recreating an existing deck, or editing one. 2. Set the slide size up fr

What does the slides skill do?
Create and edit presentation slide decks (`.pptx`) with PptxGenJS, bundled layout helpers, and render/validation utilities. Use when tasks involve building a new PowerPoint deck, recreating slides from screenshots/PDFs/reference decks, modifying slide content while preserving editable output, adding charts/diagrams/visuals, or diagnosing layout issues such as overflow, overlaps, and font substitution.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add fcakyon/claude-codex-settings --skill slides --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 fcakyon/claude-codex-settings, a repository with 967 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.
