What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by hamzafarooq/claude-code-starter in .claude/skills/slides-builder/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Ask the user:

  1. "What's the topic and what's the goal of this deck? (e.g. pitch to investors, teach a concept, quarterly review)"
  2. "Who is the audience and how much do they already know?"
  3. "How many slides — and do you want speaker notes?"
  4. "Paste any source material: bullets, doc, outline."

Then produce a complete single-file HTML presentation:

Slide structure (McKinsey rules):

  • Every slide has exactly one headline that is a complete insight, not a topic label
    • Bad: "Market Opportunity"
    • Good: "The $4B SMB payroll market is 80% undigitized — and no one owns it"
  • Body supports the headline — doesn't repeat it
  • Max 5 bullets per slide, max 8 words per bullet
  • No decorative transitions

Required slides:

  1. Title slide — punchy, specific
  2. Agenda / flow (for decks over 10 slides)
  3. Content slides — one insight each
  4. Summary / So what — what should the audience do or believe now?

HTML requirements:

  • Full self-contained HTML (no external dependencies)
  • Keyboard navigation: arrow keys advance/go back
  • Clean, minimal design — dark background or white, your call
  • Progress indicator
  • Speaker notes in a hidden div (shown with N key if requested)

Output the complete HTML file ready to open in a browser.
