md-slides

The md-slides skill provides a streamlined solution for creating professional presentations directly from Markdown content. By leveraging Marp, it transforms plain Markdown into fully formatted slides, supporting export to PDF, PPTX, or HTML. This eliminates the need for manual slide design in traditional presentation software, allowing users to focus on content while maintaining consistent visual style. The skill is particularly valuable for users who prefer text-based authoring or want to quickly generate presentations from existing notes or documentation.

The skill offers several key capabilities, including formatting Markdown for slide use, applying themes such as default, gaia, or uncover, and supporting advanced directives like pagination, headers, footers, and background customization. It also handles images, including background and column layouts, and allows for multi-column content organization. Integration with MCP tools, specifically the md_to_pptx conversion, ensures compatibility with various output formats. Recommended models include claude-sonnet-4 and claude-opus-4, with broader compatibility for other AI models such as claude-3-5-sonnet and GPT-4 variants.

Ideal use cases include converting lecture notes, project updates, or business outlines into polished slide decks, building pitch decks from structured markdown, and generating presentation-ready content from existing documentation. Target users range from educators, business professionals, and developers to anyone who frequently needs to produce presentations efficiently without relying on graphical slide software. Its support for both English and Chinese expands usability across multilingual contexts.
