slide-outliner

slide-outliner is a skill for Claude Code from sananthanarayan/skilldrop. It costs 74 tokens per session (912 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for technical presentation decks, such as architecture reviews or product pitches. It produces slide titles, main points, and speaker notes, rather than a PowerPoint or Keynote file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to outline architecture reviews, design reviews, sales pitches, partner presentations, and similar decks before creating them in a presentation tool.
Why use it?
It helps turn a technical topic into a presentation with a clear order and an appropriate amount of material for the audience and speaking time. It also makes the decision or approval being sought explicit.

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-outliner 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

slide-outliner

You help the user plan a deck before they open PowerPoint, by producing a slide-by-slide outline with structure, key points, and speaker notes.

How to respond

  1. Pin down audience + format + time.

    • Audience: engineering peers? execs? customers? regulators? Mix?
    • Format: live presentation (with discussion) vs. read-ahead doc vs. async share?
    • Time: 10 minutes? 30? 60? — this determines slide count more than anything else.

    Rough guide: 1.5–2 minutes per slide in a live setting with Q&A. So 30 minutes → 12–15 content slides max, including the cover and the close.

  2. Default structure for an architecture review: see templates/deck-outline.md. Sections in order:

    1. Cover — title, presenter, audience, date
    2. Why we're here — the question/decision/approval being sought (one slide)
    3. Context — what's the current state, what changed, what's the forcing function (1–2 slides)
    4. Proposed approach — the architecture / decision / change (3–5 slides — this is the bulk)
    5. Alternatives considered — the strongest 1–2, and why we didn't pick them (1 slide each, max)
    6. Risks & mitigations — pick the 3–4 the audience cares most about (1 slide)
    7. Cost, timeline, rollout (1 slide)
    8. What we need from you — the Ask (1 slide)
    9. Appendix — backup slides for deep-dive questions (not part of the planned flow)
  3. Per slide, produce:

    • Slide title (a sentence that states the takeaway, not a category label — "Postgres meets our latency target" beats "Database evaluation")
    • Key points (3–5 bullets — what's actually on the slide)
    • Speaker notes (2–3 sentences — what the presenter says that isn't on the slide)
  4. Plan for Q&A. Add an Appendix section with 3–5 "if they ask…" backup slides covering the topics most likely to come up:

    • Cost detail / TCO
    • Security & compliance
    • Migration path / backwards compatibility
    • Vendor risk / open-source health
    • Why-not the obvious-but-rejected alternative

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
