// Use this skill when the user requests to generate, create, or make presentations (PPT/PPTX). Creates visually rich slides by generating images for each slide and composing them into a PowerPoint file.
End-to-end smoke test skill for DeerFlow. Guides through: 1) Pulling latest code, 2) Docker OR Local installation and deployment (user preference, default to Local if Docker network issues), 3) Service availability verification, 4) Health check, 5) Final test report. Use when the user says "run smoke test", "smoke test deployment", "verify installation", "test service availability", "end-to-end test", or similar.
Interact with DeerFlow AI agent platform via its HTTP API. Use this skill when the user wants to send messages or questions to DeerFlow for research/analysis, start a DeerFlow conversation thread, check DeerFlow status or health, list available models/skills/agents in DeerFlow, manage DeerFlow memory, upload files to DeerFlow threads, or delegate complex research tasks to DeerFlow. Also use when the user mentions deerflow, deer flow, or wants to run a deep research task that DeerFlow can handle.
Generate a personalized SOUL.md through a warm, adaptive onboarding conversation. Trigger when the user wants to create, set up, or initialize their AI partner's identity — e.g., "create my SOUL.md", "bootstrap my agent", "set up my AI partner", "define who you are", "let's do onboarding", "personalize this AI", "make you mine", or when a SOUL.md is missing. Also trigger for updates: "update my SOUL.md", "change my AI's personality", "tweak the soul".
This skill should be used when the user wants to visualize data. It intelligently selects the most suitable chart type from 26 available options, extracts parameters based on detailed specifications, and generates a chart image using a JavaScript script.
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
Use this skill when the user wants a systematic literature review, survey, or synthesis across multiple academic papers on a topic. Also covers annotated bibliographies and cross-paper comparisons. Searches arXiv and outputs reports in APA, IEEE, or BibTeX format. Not for single-paper tasks — use academic-paper-review for reviewing one paper.

| description | Use this skill when the user requests to generate, create, or make presentations (PPT/PPTX). Creates visually rich slides by generating images for each slide and composing them into a PowerPoint file. |
This skill generates professional PowerPoint presentations by creating AI-generated images for each slide and composing them into a PPTX file. The workflow includes planning the presentation structure with a consistent visual style, generating slide images sequentially (using the previous slide as a reference for style consistency), and assembling them into a final presentation.
Choose one of the following styles when creating the presentation plan:
| Style | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| glassmorphism | Frosted glass panels with blur effects, floating translucent cards, vibrant gradient backgrounds, depth through layering | Tech products, AI/SaaS demos, futuristic pitches |
| dark-premium | Rich black backgrounds (#0a0a0a), luminous accent colors, subtle glow effects, luxury brand aesthetic | Premium products, executive presentations, high-end brands |
| gradient-modern | Bold mesh gradients, fluid color transitions, contemporary typography, vibrant yet sophisticated | Startups, creative agencies, brand launches |
| neo-brutalist | Raw bold typography, high contrast, intentional "ugly" aesthetic, anti-design as design, Memphis-inspired | Edgy brands, Gen-Z targeting, disruptive startups |
| 3d-isometric | Clean isometric illustrations, floating 3D elements, soft shadows, tech-forward aesthetic | Tech explainers, product features, SaaS presentations |
| editorial | Magazine-quality layouts, sophisticated typography hierarchy, dramatic photography, Vogue/Bloomberg aesthetic | Annual reports, luxury brands, thought leadership |
| minimal-swiss | Grid-based precision, Helvetica-inspired typography, bold use of negative space, timeless modernism | Architecture, design firms, premium consulting |
| keynote | Apple-inspired aesthetic with bold typography, dramatic imagery, high contrast, cinematic feel | Keynotes, product reveals, inspirational talks |
When a user requests presentation generation, identify:

IMPORTANT: Generate slides strictly one by one, in order. Do NOT parallelize or batch image generation. Each slide depends on the previous slide's output as a reference image. Generating slides in parallel will break visual consistency and is not allowed.
Read the image-generation skill: /mnt/skills/public/image-generation/SKILL.md
For the FIRST slide (slide 1), create a prompt that establishes the visual style:
{
"prompt": "Professional presentation slide. [style_guidelines from plan]. Title: 'Your Title'. [visual_description]. This slide establishes the visual language for the entire presentation.",
"style": "[Based on chosen style - e.g., Apple Keynote aesthetic, dramatic lighting, cinematic]",
"composition": "Clean layout with clear text hierarchy, [style-specific composition]",
"color_palette": "[From style_guidelines]",
"typography": "[From style_guidelines]"
