| name | deck-publisher |
| description | Turn content into a responsive, presenter-friendly slide deck published at a live URL via ReportRoom. Use when the user says "make this a deck", "turn this into slides", "presentation for", or wants something to present rather than read. Not for long-form documents (use report-publisher) or polishing an existing deck (use report-designer). |
Deck Publisher
Content → a web-native slide deck: keyboard/scroll navigable, responsive, presentable from any device, at a URL — not a .pptx attachment.
Follow the shared flow in the root SKILL.md. Deck-specific craft below.
When to use
- "Make this a deck / slides / a presentation"
- The content will be presented (meeting, pitch, demo) rather than read
- If the user needs a .pptx file specifically, say so and defer to a pptx tool — this skill makes live web decks
Steps
- Establish the setting. Presented live by the user, or sent to be clicked through alone? A presented deck carries less text per slide (the speaker is the content); a send-ahead deck must stand alone. Ask if unclear — it changes every slide.
- One idea per slide. Convert the source content into a slide outline first: each slide gets a full-sentence headline that states its point (a reader who only reads headlines should get the whole argument). Show the outline before authoring the deck.
- Data becomes visuals. Tables of more than a few cells become charts where the design system provides them; walls of bullets become 3–4 short lines max. Anything that can't be cut goes to an appendix slide.
- Author + lint + approval gate per the shared flow — preview is the slide outline plus any slides with numbers on them.
- Publish. Return the URL and mention presenter navigation (keyboard/scroll) and that view analytics are attached for send-ahead decks.
Hard rules
- Never exceed the point-per-slide rule to save slide count — more slides beats denser slides.
- The first slide states the ask/conclusion when the deck is persuasive (pitch, proposal); background never comes first.
- Keep the user's numbers exact; rounding for a headline is fine only when the exact figure appears on the same slide or in the appendix.
