Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionppt-creatorExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches ppt-creator from daymade/claude-code-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate ppt-creator. Access via /ppt-creator in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Goal: Transform a simple topic into a presentation-ready, high-quality slide deck. When key information is missing, use the minimal intake form (references/INTAKE.md) to gather context or apply safe defaults. Then follow the workflow (references/WORKFLOW.md) to produce an outline, slide drafts, charts, and speaker notes. After generation, self-evaluate using the rubric (references/RUBRIC.md); if the score is < 75, automatically refine up to 2 iterations until ≥ 75 before delivery. See Deliverables section for final output structure.
Use this skill when the user requests:
Gather Intent: If critical information is missing, ask the 10 Minimal Questions (references/INTAKE.md). If the user doesn't respond after 2 prompts, use the safe default for each item and clearly note assumptions in speaker notes.
Structure the Story: Apply the Pyramid Principle to establish "one conclusion → 3-5 top-level reasons → supporting evidence." Each slide uses assertion-style headings (complete sentences), with body content providing evidence (charts/tables/diagrams/data points). Templates are in references/TEMPLATES.md.
Choose Charts: Use the Chart Selection Dictionary in references/VIS-GUIDE.md to pick the most appropriate visualization for each point. If the user provides data (tables/CSV), optionally call scripts/chartkit.py to generate PNG charts; otherwise, create placeholder diagrams with a list of required data fields.
Layout & Style: Follow references/STYLE-GUIDE.md for font sizes, line spacing, white space, contrast ratios, color palettes, and accessibility (WCAG AA compliance).
Speaker Notes: Generate 45-60 second speaker notes for each slide, structured as: opening → core assertion → evidence explanation → transition.
Self-Check & Score: Use references/CHECKLIST.md for a pre-flight check, then score with references/RUBRIC.md. If total score < 75, identify the weakest 3 items and refine; repeat scoring (max 2 iterations).
Deliverables (all saved to /output/):
/output/slides.md: Markdown slides (Marp/Reveal.js compatible), with assertion-style headings + bullet points/chart placeholders + notes/output/assets/*.png: Generated charts (if applicable)/output/notes.md: Full speaker notes and delivery outline/output/refs.md: Citations and data sources/output/presentation.pptx: If python-pptx is available, export to PPTX; otherwise, keep Markdown and include instructions for "one-click conversion to PPTX" in the first screen (does not block delivery)When the user requests a "complete" or "presentation-ready" deliverable, ppt-creator automatically orchestrates the full pipeline: content creation → data synthesis → chart generation → dual-path PPTX creation (Marp + document-skills:pptx) → chart insertion. This typically delivers TWO complete PPTX files with different styling for user comparison.
Activation: Phrases like "complete PPTX", "final deliverable", "ready for presentation" Duration: 4-6 minutes (parallel execution) Output: presentation_marp_with_charts.pptx + presentation_pptx_with_charts.pptx
For orchestration details, see references/ORCHESTRATION_OVERVIEW.md (start here), then navigate to specialized guides as needed.
matplotlib/pandas are unavailable, fall back to text + placeholder diagram instructions.Stage 0 - Archive Input: Record user's original request, defaults used, and assumptions made.
Stage 1 - Structure Goals: Rewrite the goal into "who takes what action when" (clear CTA).
Stage 2 - Storyline: Use Pyramid Principle to define "one-sentence conclusion → 3-5 first-level reasons → evidence."
Stage 3 - Outline & Slide Titles: Create a 12-15 slide chapter skeleton. Each slide has one assertion-style heading.
Stage 4 - Evidence & Charts: Use the Chart Selection Dictionary from VIS-GUIDE. If data is provided, call chartkit.py to generate PNGs; otherwise, create placeholder + required field list.
Stage 5 - Layout & Accessibility: Apply STYLE-GUIDE for font sizes, spacing, contrast ratios, color palettes; unify units and decimal places.
Stage 6 - Speaker Notes: Generate 45-60 second notes per slide: opening → assertion → evidence explanation → transition.
Stage 7 - Self-Check & Scoring: Run CHECKLIST; score with RUBRIC. If score < 75, focus on weakest 3 items, refine, re-score (max 2 iterations).
Stage 8 - Package Deliverables: Generate /output/ directory with slides.md / notes.md / refs.md / assets/*.png. If python-pptx is available, export PPTX.
Stage 9 - Reuse Instructions: Append a "5-step guide to replace data/colors with your own" at the end of notes.md.

Steps
Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
