self-presenting-decks

self-presenting-decks is a skill for Claude Code from shaharsha/claude-skills. It costs 98 tokens per session (1,521 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for making a presentation explain itself with narration, automatic playback, or a video. It connects slide creation, recorded audio, and video production in that order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating a presentation, adding voiceover and autoplay, and producing a shareable narrated video.
Why use it?
Narration depends on finished slides, and video depends on both finished slides and audio, so changing an earlier stage can invalidate later work.

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

self-presenting-decks 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 11d 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.

Self-Presenting Decks (orchestration)

Overview

Producing a deck that presents itself is a three-skill pipeline with a fixed order. This skill is the map — each stage's depth lives in its own skill.

deck (pptx) ──▶ narration (audio + autoplay pptx) ──▶ video (mp4)
   content            depends on final slides          depends on final slides + final audio

Order is the whole game: content → narration → video. Narration is written against the finished slides, so slides must be final first. The video embeds both the rendered slides and the audio, so it's always last. Editing upstream invalidates downstream — see the update matrix.

The stages

Stage Skill to use Output
0. Intake ElevenLabs voice ID + ELEVENLABS_API_KEY (env var, never echoed); language/register choices (these live in narrating-pptx, not here)
1. Build/edit the deck document-skills:pptx (pptxgenjs or template editing); presentation-generator for AI-image decks deck.pptx (the clean copy — keep it)
2. Validate rendering office-render — real PowerPoint → PDF → images layout proof + the PDF the video will reuse — always from the CLEAN pptx (the narrated copy renders speaker icons onto slides)
3. Narrate narrating-pptx — scripts → human approves scripts BEFORE TTS (it's real credit spend, often in a cloned voice) → TTS → embed → PowerPoint-authored autoplay → its own validation pass proves the narrated file clean narration/scripts.json, narration/slideNN.mp3, deck-narrated.pptx
4. Video deck-to-video — the stage-2 clean-deck PDF + the same narration/ mp3s → mp4 (progress bar + slide counter are defaults; flags turn them off) deck.mp4

Keep narration/ and all artifacts as siblings next to the deck.

Narrate like a presenter, not a screen reader

Describe position only when the viewer could not otherwise find it. That is the test, and it is observable before you write the line.

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.
