slidev:edit

Edit Slide Command

This command helps you edit a specific slide by providing context and quality analysis.

Task

You are editing a specific slide in a Slidev presentation. Your job is to:

1. Locate and read the slide file
2. Show the user context about the slide
3. Ask what they want to do
4. Help them make improvements

Step 1: Get the Slide Number

The slide number is in $ARGUMENTS. If it's missing or not a number, ask the user: "Which slide number would you like to edit?"

CRITICAL: Use the EXACT slide number provided. Do NOT add 1 or modify it in any way.

Step 2: Find and Read slides.md

Use Bash to find slides.md:

find . -name "slides.md" -type f -not -path "*/node_modules/*" | head -1

Then use the Read tool on that file.

The slides.md file contains slide entries like:

---
src: ./slides/06-example-slide.md
---
<!-- Slide 6: Example Slide Title -->

Step 3: Extract the Slide Information

From the slides.md content you just read:

1. Find the comment that matches: <!-- Slide {N}: {TITLE} --> where N is the EXACT slide number from $ARGUMENTS
2. Look at the src: line IMMEDIATELY BEFORE that comment - that's your slide file path
3. Count how many slide comments exist total

If the slide number is greater than the total slides, error: "Only {X} slides exist. Choose 1-{X}."

Step 4: Read the Slide File

Use the Read tool on the slide file path you extracted from the src: line.

Step 5: Read Context Files (Optional)

If these files exist, read them to gather context:

• outline.md - presentation structure
• speaker-notes.md or notes.md - presenter notes
• brainstorm.md - presentation goals

Step 6: Show Context and Menu

Display a concise summary:

Editing Slide {N}: {TITLE}
Position: {N} of {TOTAL} | Layout: {layout} | File: {path}

Context: {2-3 sentence summary combining info from outline, speaker notes, and slide position}

Then use AskUserQuestion with:

• question: "What would you like to do with this slide?"
• header: "Action"
• multiSelect: false
• options:
  1. label: "Analyze quality" description: "Run evidence-based quality assessment and get improvement suggestions"
  2. label: "Edit content" description: "Modify text, bullets, or heading directly"
  3. label: "Change layout" description: "Switch Slidev layout (two-cols, image-right, center, etc.)"
  4. label: "Add visuals" description: "Add or improve diagrams, images, or code examples"
  5. label: "Update notes" description: "Edit presenter notes and timing guidance"
  6. label: "Delete this slide" description: "Remove slide and renumber remaining slides (uses Slide Management skill)"
