What it does
SlideBlocks gives an agent a way to build presentations: the user attaches materials and requirements and the agent builds a deck on Slidev. The result comes as Slidev source plus a standalone `offline.html` opened in Chrome or Edge. There is no `.pptx` output. The finished deck offers fullscreen mode, a presenter view, slide overview and annotation tools. Ordinary text is edited with a double click and saved with `Cmd` or `Ctrl` and `S`, and a right click starts export to standalone HTML or PDF. The agent can then be asked to edit the source directly. The skill bundles diagram and figure engines and an icon library.
Who it is for. Speakers and researchers who need a talk built from a paper or materials without laying out slides by hand.
Good fit when
- A paper must become a fifteen-minute talk in English.
- A presentation is needed with diagrams and figures assembled from text.
- The deck must go out as one standalone HTML file with no installation.
- After a rehearsal slides are edited right in the browser and saved again.
Not a fit when
- A `.pptx` file is required: the skill does not produce it.
- Node.js and a Chromium-based browser are missing: building and viewing do not work without them.
- A corporate PowerPoint theme is needed: decks live in the Slidev format.
Example request
Use SlideBlocks to turn this paper into a fifteen-minute research talk in English.Limitations
Needs an agent with skill support, Node.js and a Chromium-based browser. An agent with image generation tools makes it easier, and the author strongly recommends one. Output is limited to Slidev source, standalone HTML and static PDF, with no `.pptx`. Third-party images and source credits stay on slides and should be respected when publishing. Decks open in Chrome or Edge, and other browsers are not named in the description.
How to disable. Remove the skill with `npx skills remove slideblocks` or by deleting its folder from the agent directory. Finished decks remain ordinary files.
FAQ
How do I install it?
With `npx skills add UniUni2000/slideblocks-skill`. It needs an agent with skill support, Node.js and a Chromium browser.
What format does the presentation come in?
Slidev source and a standalone `offline.html` with static PDF export. There is no `.pptx` format.
How do I edit a finished deck?
Double-click ordinary text and save with `Cmd` or `Ctrl` and `S`. Complex edits go to the agent, which changes the source.
How do I share a presentation?
Right-click and choose standalone HTML or PDF export. The HTML file opens without installation.
Are there examples?
The author published an interactive Sagittarius A* presentation and snapshots of the Agent Harness, M87 and Star Formation decks.
