Slide Quality Assessment

Slide Quality Assessment is a skill for Claude Code from rhuss/cc-slidev. It costs 62 tokens per session (3,580 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist-based review for judging the clarity, accessibility, and design of presentation slides. It uses research about how people process information and accessibility standards such as WCAG.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess slide content, layout, readability, visual hierarchy, and overall presentation quality.
Why use it?
It identifies crowded slides, unclear ideas, and design choices that make presentations harder to follow. The review gives a consistent way to find improvements.

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

Slide Quality Assessment 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 8d 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.

Slide Quality Assessment

Evaluate presentation slides using evidence-based quality criteria grounded in cognitive load research, accessibility standards, and presentation best practices from TED, MIT Communication Lab, and technical conference guidelines.

Research Foundation: Quality assessment based on working memory limits (Miller's Law), David JP Phillips' cognitive load studies, WCAG accessibility standards, and analysis of effective technical presentations.

IMPORTANT: Before analyzing slides, use the Read tool to load the style guide from the plugin directory:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/presentation-best-practices.md

This contains the complete research-backed guidelines and validation criteria supporting the 12-point checklist.

The 12-Point Quality Checklist

Use this systematic framework to evaluate any presentation slide:

1. ✓ One Idea Per Slide (CRITICAL)

Criterion: Does the slide communicate exactly ONE central idea, finding, or question?

Why this matters:

  • Prevents cognitive overload
  • Maintains audience focus during narration
  • Enables clear narrative progression

How to assess:

  • Can slide be explained in ~90 seconds?
  • Does all content support only the title's assertion?
  • Are there multiple unrelated concepts?

Red flags:

  • ✗ Covering multiple independent topics
  • ✗ Requires >2 minutes to explain
  • ✗ Content diverges from title

Fix: Split into multiple slides, one concept each


2. ✓ Meaningful Title (CRITICAL)

Criterion: Is the title an assertion (subject + verb + finding) rather than a label?

Why this matters:

  • Titles act as "topic sentences"
  • Reading titles in sequence tells the story
  • Helps distracted viewers catch up
  • Audience should understand main point from title alone

Good vs Bad:

  • ❌ Bad (labels): "Results", "Background", "Performance"
  • ✅ Good (assertions): "Experiment X demonstrates 2x gain", "Current solutions fail at scale"

How to assess:

  • Does title state a takeaway (not just a topic)?
  • Subject + verb + finding format?
  • Would titles in sequence tell a coherent story?

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.
