generate-writeup

generate-writeup is a skill for Claude Code from pamelafox/presentation-skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (2,082 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that turns a presentation's slides and recording into an annotated, blog-style article. It uses presentation notes, slide images, and a transcript to organize the talk into chapters and explain the slides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a Markdown write-up from a presentation folder containing a presentation file and its slides, with an optional transcript or video.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of collecting presentation files, converting slides, extracting speech, and building a written version of the talk. Intermediate results are saved so later runs can reuse completed steps.

Skill for Claude Code

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is uv run .agents/skills/fetch-slides/fetch_slides.py <url> <presentation_folder>/outputs.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

generate-writeup 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 7d 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.

Generate annotated write-up from a presentation

You are generating a blog-style write-up from a presentation. The user will provide a presentation folder path (e.g., presentations/my-talk). That folder must contain a presentation.md file.

presentation.md format

# Talk title

- **Date:** 2026-01-15
- **Video:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
- **Slides:** slides.pdf
- **Transcript:** transcript.txt

## Notes

Required fields: Video and Slides. All others are optional. Slides can be a local PDF path, PDF URL, PPTX URL, OneDrive link, or RevealJS URL. Video can be a YouTube URL or local MP4 path.

Pipeline

Follow these steps in order. Cache all intermediate outputs in <presentation_folder>/outputs/ so subsequent runs skip completed steps.

Step 1: Resolve slides

  • If Slides in presentation.md is a URL, fetch and convert to PDF:
    uv run .agents/skills/fetch-slides/fetch_slides.py <url> <presentation_folder>/outputs
    
    This produces slides.pdf (and slides_content.md for RevealJS URLs).
  • If slides is a local file path (relative to the presentation folder), use it directly.
  • Skip if <presentation_folder>/outputs/slides.pdf already exists.

Step 2: Convert slides to images

Split the PDF into individual PNGs:

uv run .agents/skills/convert-slides-to-images/convert_slides_to_images.py <pdf_path> <presentation_folder>/outputs/slide_images

Skip if <presentation_folder>/outputs/slide_images/ already contains slide_*.png files.

Step 3: Extract transcript

  • If Transcript is specified in presentation.md, read from that path (relative to presentation folder).
  • If <presentation_folder>/outputs/transcript.txt exists, use the cached version.
  • Otherwise, extract from YouTube:
    uv run .agents/skills/extract-transcript/extract_transcript.py <youtube_url> <presentation_folder>/outputs/transcript.txt
    

Step 4: Generate video chapters

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.
