Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
4 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by NomaDamas on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Slides Grab Export AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NomaDamas/slides-grab.git /tmp/slides-grab
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/slides-grab/skills/slides-grab-export .claude/skills/slides-grab-export

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Slides Grab Export in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Slides Grab Export on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Slides Grab Export is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

slides-grab Export Skill

Use this only after the user approves design output and the Stage 2 design gate verdict is Proceed (zero unresolved Critical findings — see ../slides-grab-design/references/design-gate.md). PDF, PPTX, and Figma exports require a fresh slides-grab design-gate Proceed receipt for the current slide files.

Goal

Convert reviewed slide HTML into PDF or per-slide PNG reliably, and into experimental / unstable PPTX/Figma outputs on a best-effort basis.

Inputs

Approved <slides-dir>/slide-*.html
Optional output path settings

Outputs

Presentation artifact (.pdf, .png per slide, or .pptx)

Workflow

Confirm user approval for conversion and that the Stage 2 design gate passed with verdict Proceed. If any Critical design-gate finding is still unresolved, refuse to export — return to Stage 2, fix the Critical issue, re-run the gate, record Proceed with slides-grab design-gate, and only then convert.
Pick the right primary target:
- Card-news / Instagram-style decks → slides-grab png --slides-dir <path> --slide-mode card-news --resolution 2160p (see slides-grab-card-news).
- Widescreen slide decks → slides-grab pdf --slides-dir <path> --output <name>.pdf.
When per-slide raster output is needed (card news, social posts, thumbnails):
- slides-grab png --slides-dir <path> --output-dir <path>/out-png --resolution 2160p
- Add --slide-mode card-news for 1:1 cards.
If the user also wants a PDF deck:
- slides-grab pdf --slides-dir <path> --output <name>.pdf
- Add --slide-mode card-news when the deck is square.
For decks with Chart.js or other <canvas> charts, confirm slides-grab validate --slides-dir <path> passes without empty-canvas, then build/open viewer.html once before export. Chart.js charts should use disabled animation so PDF/PNG capture sees the final painted state.
If the user wants PPTX (experimental / unstable):
- Default visual-fidelity export: slides-grab convert --slides-dir <path> --output <name>.pptx --engine raster
- Editable-text export: slides-grab convert --slides-dir <path> --output <name>-editable.pptx --engine text
- --resolution can only be used with the raster engine. The text engine requires semantic text tags, rasterizes canvas/SVG visuals, and may reject unsupported HTML/CSS.
If the user wants Figma-importable PPTX (experimental / unstable):
- slides-grab figma --slides-dir <path> --output <name>-figma.pptx
Report success/failure with actionable errors.

Rules

Do not export while any Critical design-gate finding is unresolved (../slides-grab-design/references/design-gate.md). The design gate is a hard precondition for this stage, and slides-grab pdf, slides-grab convert, and slides-grab figma block if the latest receipt is missing or stale.
Do not modify slide content during conversion stage unless explicitly requested.
If conversion fails, diagnose and fix root causes in source HTML/CSS.
For chart-heavy decks, treat a blank exported chart as a source rendering bug first: re-run validation, inspect empty-canvas, and verify the same slide in viewer.html before retrying PDF/PNG/PPTX export.
Always tell the user that PPTX and Figma export are experimental / unstable and may require manual cleanup.
Use the packaged CLI and bundled references only; do not depend on unpublished agent-specific files.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Slides Grab Export AI skill do?

Stage 3 conversion skill usable in Codex and Claude Code. Convert approved HTML slides to PDF or per-slide PNG reliably, and to experimental / unstable PPTX/Figma outputs on a best-effort basis.

Why use Slides Grab Export on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Slides Grab Export is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Slides Grab Export in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/NomaDamas/slides-grab/tree/main/skills/slides-grab-export. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Slides Grab Export?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Slides Grab Export?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Slides Grab Export with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Slides Grab Export AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by NomaDamas under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
