slidev:outline

slidev:outline is a command for coding agents from rhuss/cc-slidev. It costs 12 tokens per session (1,431 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for creating or revising a presentation outline from brainstorming notes and existing planning files. It estimates a suitable slide count from the talk length and chosen speaking pace.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a new talk or revise an outline using the topic, audience, duration, style, and desired level of detail.
Why use it?
It turns rough ideas into a timed structure and helps prevent a presentation from containing too much or too little material.

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:outline 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 4d 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.

Outline Creation & Revision

Create evidence-based, timed presentation outline or revise existing outline based on feedback.

Evidence Base: Outlines validated using research-based timing (default 90s/slide) from PLOS Computational Biology. See references/presentation-best-practices.md.

Execution

1. Check for Existing Materials

Look for:

  • brainstorm.md - Source material
  • outline.md - Existing outline to revise
  • presentation-config.md - Framing decisions

If creating new outline without brainstorming:

  • Ask user for topic and key points
  • Gather framing information (duration, audience, style)

2. Calculate Target Slide Count (Evidence-Based)

Default timing: 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) per slide

Formula:

Expected slides = (duration_minutes × 60) / seconds_per_slide
Acceptable range = expected ± 20%

Pacing options (configurable):

  • Fast (60s/slide): Brief updates, high-level overviews
  • Moderate (90s/slide): DEFAULT - technical content, balanced detail
  • Detailed (120s/slide): Complex topics, deep dives
  • Deep dive (180s/slide): Research talks, comprehensive analysis

Examples:

  • 15-min talk @ 90s/slide = 10 slides (acceptable: 8-12)
  • 20-min talk @ 90s/slide = 13 slides (acceptable: 10-16)
  • 30-min talk @ 90s/slide = 20 slides (acceptable: 16-24)
  • 45-min talk @ 90s/slide = 30 slides (acceptable: 24-36)

Include Q&A time if needed (typically 15-20% of total).

3. Apply Presentation Structure Principles

Use presentation-design skill principles:

Three-Act Structure:

  • Act 1 (Setup): 15-20% of slides

    • Hook to grab attention
    • Problem/opportunity statement
    • Agenda preview
  • Act 2 (Confrontation): 60-70% of slides

    • Main content sections
    • Build complexity progressively
    • Evidence and examples
  • Act 3 (Resolution): 15-20% of slides

    • Synthesize key points
    • Clear takeaways
    • Call to action

Rule of Three:

  • 3-5 main sections (ideally 3)
  • 3 key takeaways
  • 3 supporting points per section

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:outline is a command published in the GitHub repository rhuss/cc-slidev (50 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,431 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.
