slidev:add

Add Slide Command

Insert a new slide at the specified slide number (from <!-- Slide N: ... --> comment). Existing slides at that number and higher shift forward.

IMPORTANT: Argument is SLIDE NUMBER (e.g., 6 for new Slide 6), NOT list position

IMPORTANT: Go DIRECTLY to asking for title and running script - do NOT read slides.md or display structure first

Execution

1. Parse Slide Number

Extract slide number from $ARGUMENTS. If missing, show: "Usage: /slidev:add <slide-number>"

2. Ask for Slide Title

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "Title for the new slide?",
      "header": "Title",
      "multiSelect": false,
      "options": [
        {
          "label": "Enter custom title",
          "description": "Provide a meaningful title"
        },
        {
          "label": "Untitled Slide",
          "description": "Add title later"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

If "Enter custom title", use the "Other" text provided. If "Untitled Slide", use that as title.

3. Execute Script

IMMEDIATELY run the script - NO exploration before this:

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/manage-slides.py add [SLIDE_NUMBER] --title "[TITLE]" --renumber

The script handles everything:

• Validation (position >= 2)
• Creating the slide file
• Renumbering subsequent slides
• Updating slides.md
• Git operations

4. Show Results

Display the script output:

✅ Slide added at position [N]
