A command for creating presentation slides as HTML pages, using your organization's branding and predefined layouts. HTML is the language used to structure web pages, so the slides can be viewed in a browser and rendered as a PDF.

Use it to create branded pitch decks, product walkthroughs, and other widescreen or 4:3 presentations.

It avoids building each branded presentation from scratch and helps keep the on-screen slides and PDF output aligned. It also provides layouts suited to pitch and walkthrough presentations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00008	$0.01912
Opus 5	$0.00004	$0.00956
Sonnet 5	$0.00002	$0.00382
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00191

Security

Grade A, and why

slides scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create HTML presentation slides.

Version check

Read the plugin version from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json and note it. If the file doesn't exist or the read fails, warn the user that the plugin may not be properly installed.

Setup

Check for brand configuration at .claude/pdf-playground.local.md
If found, parse the YAML frontmatter for brand settings
Load the slides template from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/slides-template.html

Slide format

Default: 16:9 widescreen (13.333" × 7.5"). For 4:3, update both places in templates/slides-template.html:

--slide-width: 10in on the :root block (drives the .slide width)
@page { size: 10in 7.5in; } (drives the PDF page size, CSS variables aren't permitted inside @page, so it must be edited directly)

If you only change one, the on-screen preview and the rendered PDF will disagree and content will clip.

Slide types

The template ships with layouts for most pitch- and walkthrough-style decks. Use the right one for each slide rather than forcing everything through a generic content layout.

Cover and hero

.slide-title, Gradient title slide with centered headline, subtitle, presenter line. Use when no cover photo is available.

.slide-hero, Full-bleed photo background with right-aligned headline and subtitle, plus a red branded footer bar. Best for opening pitch decks. Set the background image on the .hero-bg child via inline style.

.slide-hero.slide-closing, Same hero with left-aligned headline for closing "Ready on [date]" slides. The subtitle sits tight to the headline on purpose, the close reads as one unit, not two floating lines.

Section dividers

.slide-section, Solid red background with a large outlined section number and title. Use for clean typographic chapter breaks.

.slide-section.with-photo, Photo background with a red section chip ("Section 8.1") and a large section title. Use when the deck mirrors a numbered document (RFP response, report) and reviewers need to cross-reference.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
