typst-presentation

Use this Skill when asked to create a presentation, slide deck, or polished paginated document with Typst. The frontmatter name is typst-presentation; the post and repository are typst-deck. This draft did not execute the Skill or compile Typst.

This Skill targets Typst 0.15.0 or newer. Check the installed version with typst --version and the locally supported commands with typst help. The site's general install module covers Skill-file installation. If Typst is not installed or compilation cannot be run, the agent should say so clearly and must not claim the deck was compiled or visually verified. This draft did not install Typst or run the compiler.

Create a project folder, write the presentation to main.typ, and keep images or other assets inside that folder. You can run typst watch main.typ from the folder; Typst creates main.pdf and recompiles when sources change, and you can stop watching with Ctrl+C. The agent should compile the complete deck, export every page as a PNG for visual QA, and deliver the PDF together with editable main.typ and the required assets. Those compile-and-inspect steps are agent work, not prerequisites you must already have completed.

Do not assume a command-line option exists on older Typst releases. Never claim that code has been compiler-tested unless it was run successfully. A simple Typst PDF deck is static: do not promise slide animations, click-through interactions, or speaker notes unless a suitable package or separate presentation system is deliberately used and tested. HTML export is experimental and should not be the default production deliverable. Do not promise the Typst web app's Present control, a Typst Pro feature, to users working only with the free local CLI. Typst does not automatically fetch ordinary remote image URLs. Never invent citations, quotes, statistics, or image origins; if compilation cannot be run, do not claim the deck was compiled or visually verified. The post's wording about slides in seconds and being free and open source is author or post phrasing, not a measured speed guarantee; license terms come from the LICENSE file, which is Apache 2.0 with a blank copyright-owner template and no NOTICE file at this HEAD. Official reuse is unknown. This draft did not run Typst. Use the user's supplied documents and data as the primary basis when the task is based on those materials. Do not silently resolve contradictions between supplied sources.
