slidev:notes

A command that creates or improves presenter notes for every slide in a presentation. These notes hold explanations, delivery guidance, timing, transitions, and likely questions that do not belong on the slide itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add missing notes or expand existing notes across a presentation, including key points, examples, timing, delivery tips, and answers to expected questions.
Why use it?
It lets the audience focus on the visual slide while giving the presenter fuller material to explain it.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

slidev:notes 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 2d 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.

Presenter Notes Generation

Generate comprehensive presenter notes for all slides or enhance existing notes, applying the evidence-based principle that detailed explanations belong in notes, not on slides.

Evidence Base: MIT Communication Lab research shows audiences cannot read and listen simultaneously. Detailed text, full explanations, and supporting data should be in presenter notes, not on slides. See references/presentation-best-practices.md for guidelines.

Execution

1. Read Current Slides

Find and read slides.md:

  • Parse all slides
  • Check which slides already have notes
  • Identify slides missing notes

2. Generate/Enhance Notes

For each slide, create presenter notes with:

Structure:

<!--
PRESENTER NOTES:
[Slide title/number for reference]

KEY POINTS:
- [Main point to emphasize]
- [Supporting detail]
- [Example or analogy to share]

TIMING: [X] seconds (default: 90s per slide, adjust for complexity)

DELIVERY TIPS:
- [How to present this slide]
- [Voice, pace, emphasis guidance]

TRANSITIONS:
- FROM previous: [How you arrived here]
- TO next: [How to transition out]

LIKELY QUESTIONS:
- Q: [Question audience might ask]
  A: [How to answer]

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT:
- [Background information]
- [Technical details not on slide]
- [References or sources]
-->

Content Guidelines:

Key Points (MIT CommLab Principle - Detail Goes Here):

  • Expand terse slide bullets into full explanations (slide has phrases, notes have sentences)
  • Add details NOT shown on slide (slide is minimal, notes are comprehensive)
  • Include specific numbers, dates, names (slide has trends, notes have data)
  • Provide examples and stories (slide has assertion, notes have supporting narrative)
  • Full context and background (slide is concise, notes have depth)

Research basis: Audiences cannot read and listen simultaneously. Slide shows key point (visual channel), notes contain what you say (auditory channel).

Timing (Evidence-Based - Default 90s/slide):

  • Default: 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) per slide (configurable)
  • Title slides: 30 seconds
  • Simple content slides: 60-90 seconds
  • Complex/data slides: 90-120 seconds
  • Deep technical slides: 120-180 seconds
  • Transition slides: 15-30 seconds

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.

slidev:notes is a command published in the GitHub repository rhuss/cc-slidev (49 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 2,049 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
