Build, redesign, and critique clean, presentation-grade slide decks (.pptx) for any audience — research/lab meetings, work status updates, conference talks, stakeholder readouts, thesis defenses, teaching, webinars. Use whenever the user wants to make, create, redo, clean up, improve, or review slides / a deck / a presentation — e.g. "make slides for my project", "build a deck from this paper/code/doc", "turn these results into slides", "redesign this pptx", "my slides are too dense", "review my deck and tell me what's weak", "make a slide about X", "help me present this work". Works with or without a template (matches theirs, else designs a clean one) and with or without source material (mines provided code/docs/figures, else web-researches and fact-checks), in any language (e.g. English or 中文). Interviews first, then runs an actor–critic loop until an independent critic consents. Trigger even without the words "skill", "deck", or "pptx".
Slide Maker includes pricing or quota commentary; at least one code block. At roughly 23,540 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

How Slide Maker fits the catalog

Is Slide Maker safe to install?
A free static scan against the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10 found no risk patterns in Slide Maker’s SKILL.md — no data-exfiltration, prompt-injection, or unexpected-execution signatures. The full security scan is below.
Installing & verifying
Installing Slide Maker writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/slide-maker/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — slide-maker should appear by name.
