Makes Claude build a strategic HTML slide deck with Chart.js charts, design tokens and a chosen deck structure, for pitches and marketing.

Updated: Nov 2026; last repo commit

slides makes Claude produce an HTML presentation from a topic and a slide count. It has one subcommand, create, and loads guides on layouts, an HTML template, copywriting formulas and 15 deck structures such as YC Seed, Series A and Sales Pitch. Those guides tell Claude to run Python search scripts that live in a separate design-system skill, so install the ui-ux-pro-max set, not slides alone. It also needs Python 3.

Good for

Founders building investor, sales or product-demo decks
Marketers who want persuasive slide copy with a clear structure
Anyone who needs data slides with Chart.js charts
Claude Code users who already use the ui-ux-pro-max design skills

Install slides

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the slides skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

/plugin marketplace add nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill
/plugin install ui-ux-pro-max@ui-ux-pro-max-skill

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Python 3.x.

Do not install slides alone with the skills CLI: its guides call a script that lives in the design-system skill. The README says there is no separate ZIP for the Claude.ai upload dialog and warns that the full repository ZIP exceeds its 200-file limit.

What it includes

Creates persuasive HTML slides using design tokens, Chart.js and the slide knowledge base
Routing: the first word of the arguments is the subcommand, and the rest is the task. The hint is [topic] [slide-count].
Try: “create investor pitch deck for a B2B analytics startup, 12 slides”
Write · create
Guide to slide layouts, treatments such as gradient-glow and a layout decision flow
Layout Patterns
Base page with navigation, design-token CSS and Chart.js 4.4.1 loaded from jsDelivr
The template also shows a background-image slide with a placeholder image URL.
Network · HTML Template
Guide to slide copy formulas, with search commands for problem-agitation and urgency CTAs
Copywriting Formulas
15 deck structures with slide counts, goals and emotion arcs, such as YC Seed
Slide Strategies
Searches local slide databases for strategy, layout, copy and chart advice
Lives in the design-system skill, not in slides. Runs as python ../design-system/scripts/search-slides.py with -d, --json, --context, --position and --total options.

Permissions

Low risk

It runs Python search scripts from a second skill and reads and writes project files such as design tokens.

Read-only mode

Watch out for

It runs Python scripts from the design-system skill
search-slides.py imports slide_search_core, which imports csv, re, pathlib, math and collections and opens CSV files for reading. Run it in a project you trust.
The scripts read and write project files
SKILL.md says its scripts read and write files such as docs/brand-guidelines.md and assets/design-tokens.json relative to the project root. Commit before the first run.
The deck pulls Chart.js from a CDN
The HTML template loads Chart.js from cdn.jsdelivr.net, so a deck opened online makes that request. Self-host the file if that matters.
The plugin route adds seven skills
Its plugin.json points at .claude/skills, which holds seven skills including slides, and declares no hooks or MCP servers.

Talks to	The generated HTML loads Chart.js 4.4.1 from cdn.jsdelivr.net. The template shows background images from external URLs. Your AI provider receives the content Claude reads
Sign-in and keys	SKILL.md names no account or API key.
Scopes	Claude runs python ../design-system/scripts/search-slides.py The scripts read and write project files such as docs/brand-guidelines.md, assets/design-tokens.json or src/ Claude writes the HTML deck

Questions

How do I install the slides skill?

Use the install box above and take the plugin or uipro route, which installs the whole set. The slides guides call a script in the design-system skill, so a slides-only install leaves those searches without their script.

Does slides work in the Claude app or Claude.ai?

The README says no. It does not publish a ZIP for the Claude.ai upload dialog, and the full repository ZIP exceeds that dialog's 200-file limit. Use Claude Code or another local agent.

Does slides need Python or an API key?

It needs Python 3 for the search script, per the README. SKILL.md names no API key.

Does slides make PowerPoint or PDF files?

SKILL.md describes HTML presentations built with Chart.js. It does not mention PowerPoint or PDF export.

Is the slides skill safe to run?

It writes an HTML deck and runs a Python search script that reads local CSV files, and its scripts read and write project files such as design tokens. Use a project under version control and read what it changes.
