presentation-generator

presentation-generator is a skill for Claude Code from shaharsha/claude-skills. It costs 264 tokens per session (3,785 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A presentation maker that creates each slide as a custom 16:9 image, then produces PDF and PowerPoint files. It plans the story and visual style before generating slides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create decks with photographs, diagrams, timelines, comparisons, interface mockups, quotes, and other custom slide designs.
Why use it?
It helps turn a presentation outline into a consistent visual deck without forcing every slide into the same layout.

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

presentation-generator 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/build-pptx.py, scripts/generate-deck.py, scripts/lock-style.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 227 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Presentation Generator

Image-as-slide decks. Every slide is a single 16:9 PNG generated by gpt-image-2. The slide is free to be anything visual: a cinematic photograph, a structured infographic with stacked principle cards, an architecture flowchart, a big-number stat, a comparison split-screen, a UI mockup with side annotations, a quote card, a do/don't table, an icon grid, a timeline, a hand-drawn whiteboard sketch.

The skill's job is to make Claude think like a creative director — narrative arc first, visual style locked, composition chosen per slide, prompts engineered with intention — before spending API tokens on imagery.

The two axes of a slide

  • Style (locks at the deck level): aesthetic, palette, typography vibe, decorative motif. Constant across all slides — this is what makes the deck feel like one artifact.
  • Composition (varies per slide): is this slide a hero photo, a flowchart, an infographic, a big number, a comparison? Pick what serves the slide's job.

Both NotebookLM's Cinematic Video Overviews and well-designed brand decks do exactly this. Lock style; vary composition.

The six phases

Research → Narrative Plan → Style Lock → Parallel Generation (×4) → QA → Assemble

Runs end-to-end autonomously. No approval gate between phases.

Phase 1 — Research

Build a dossier on the topic before touching the deck.

  • Local files referenced ("the project plan", a path, a slug) → read with the Read tool.
  • Online topic → WebSearch + WebFetch.
  • Mixed → both. Local files are ground truth; online is supporting context.
  • Brand book exists → if there's a BRAND.md from the brand-system skill in the project, read it. Use its palette, typography, and motif language verbatim in the deck-plan's style_brief. Set brand_source in the plan to point at it. This gives pixel-tight brand fidelity.

Keep the dossier in working memory: 5-15 key facts, quotes worth surfacing, numbers worth visualizing, audience signals.

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.
