  • 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.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by TerminalSkills on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

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

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. 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.
2

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/TerminalSkills/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/ai-slides .claude/skills/ai-slides
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ai Slides 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 Ai Slides 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 Ai Slides 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.

AI Slides

Overview

Generate complete, well-structured presentations from topic descriptions, outlines, or raw content. Handles pitch decks, team updates, conference talks, product demos, and educational presentations. Produces slide content with titles, body text, speaker notes, and layout suggestions optimized for visual clarity and audience engagement.

Instructions

When a user asks you to create a presentation, follow these steps:

Step 1: Define the presentation parameters

ParameterOptions
TypePitch deck, team update, conference talk, product demo, training, proposal
AudienceInvestors, executives, engineers, customers, general public
Duration5 min (~8 slides), 15 min (~15 slides), 30 min (~25 slides)
FormatMinimal (text-light), data-heavy (charts/tables), visual (image-driven)
ToolPowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, Reveal.js, HTML

Step 2: Create the narrative structure

Every presentation needs a story arc:

1. HOOK        — Open with a surprising fact, question, or bold statement
2. PROBLEM     — What is broken? Why should the audience care?
3. SOLUTION    — Your answer to the problem
4. EVIDENCE    — Data, demos, case studies that prove it works
5. VISION      — Where this goes next / the bigger picture
6. ASK/CTA     — What you want the audience to do

Pitch deck structure (10-12 slides):

1.  Title slide (company name, tagline, logo)
2.  Problem (the pain point you solve)
3.  Solution (your product/approach)
4.  How it works (3-step explanation or demo)
5.  Market size (TAM/SAM/SOM)
6.  Traction (users, revenue, growth metrics)
7.  Business model (how you make money)
8.  Competition (positioning matrix)
9.  Team (founders and key hires)
10. Financials (projections, key metrics)
11. The ask (funding amount, use of funds)
12. Contact (email, website, next steps)

Team update structure (8-10 slides):

1. Title + date
2. TL;DR / Executive summary
3. Key metrics dashboard
4. Completed this period
5. In progress
6. Blockers and risks
7. Next period plan
8. Discussion / Q&A

Step 3: Write each slide

For every slide, provide:

markdown
## Slide [N]: [Title]

**Layout:** [Title + bullets / Title + image / Full-bleed image / Data chart / Quote]

**Content:**
- [Headline or key message]
- [Supporting point 1]
- [Supporting point 2]
- [Supporting point 3]

**Speaker Notes:**
[What to say while this slide is showing. 2-4 sentences.]

**Visual Suggestion:**
[What image, chart, or graphic would strengthen this slide]

Step 4: Apply slide design principles

Text rules:

  • Maximum 6 lines of text per slide
  • Maximum 6 words per bullet point
  • One idea per slide — if you need more text, add another slide
  • Title should communicate the takeaway, not just the topic ("Revenue grew 3x" not "Revenue Update")

Visual rules:

  • Use the full slide area. Do not cram content into a small box.
  • Left-align text. Centered text is harder to scan.
  • Use high-contrast text on backgrounds (white on dark, dark on light)
  • One hero image or chart per slide. Never two competing visuals.
  • Consistent margin/padding on every slide

Data visualization:

  • Bar charts for comparisons
  • Line charts for trends over time
  • Pie charts almost never (use bar charts instead)
  • Big numbers for single key metrics ("3x growth" large and centered)
  • Tables only when comparing 3+ items across 3+ attributes

Step 5: Add transitions and flow

  • Each slide should lead naturally to the next
  • Use transition phrases in speaker notes ("Building on that...", "So what does this mean?")
  • Group related slides into sections with a section divider slide
  • End strong — the last slide should be memorable, not "Thank you" with an email address

Examples

Example 1: Startup pitch deck

User request: "Create a pitch deck for a developer productivity tool"

Output (abbreviated):

markdown
## Slide 1: Title
**Layout:** Centered, minimal
**Content:**
# DevFlow
### Ship 2x faster with AI-powered workflows
**Visual:** Logo + subtle gradient background

---

## Slide 2: The Problem
**Layout:** Title + 3 pain points
**Content:**
# Developers lose 15 hours/week to tooling friction
- Context switching between 8+ tools per task
- Manual setup for every new project
- Tribal knowledge trapped in wikis nobody reads

**Speaker Notes:**
We surveyed 500 developers. The number one complaint was not the code
itself — it was everything around the code. Setup, config, searching
for how to do things.

---

## Slide 3: The Solution
**Layout:** Title + product screenshot
**Content:**
# One command. Zero friction.
DevFlow connects your tools into automated workflows that handle
the boring stuff so you can focus on code.

**Speaker Notes:**
Demo the 3-command setup flow. Show how a new developer goes from
clone to productive in under 5 minutes.

**Visual:** Product screenshot or short GIF of the CLI in action

Example 2: Conference talk slides

User request: "Create slides for a 15-minute talk on API design best practices"

Output structure:

markdown
## Slide 1: Title
# APIs Are User Interfaces Too
[Speaker name] — [Conference name] 2025

## Slide 2: Hook
# Your API has more users than your website
"87% of developers evaluate a product by its API first"

## Slide 3-5: Problem slides
[Common API design mistakes with code examples]

## Slide 6-10: Principles
[One principle per slide with before/after code]

## Slide 11-13: Real examples
[Case studies from well-known APIs]

## Slide 14: Summary
[The 5 rules on one slide as a reference]

## Slide 15: Close
[Memorable closing statement + where to learn more]

Example 3: Team quarterly review

User request: "Build slides for our Q4 engineering review"

Output structure:

markdown
## Slide 1: Title
# Q4 Engineering Review
Platform Team — January 2025

## Slide 2: Quarter at a Glance
[4 big metrics: shipped features, uptime, velocity, team size]

## Slide 3: Key Wins
[3 major accomplishments with impact numbers]

## Slide 4-6: Project Deep Dives
[One slide per major project: what, why, result]

## Slide 7: Metrics Dashboard
[Chart showing key trends across the quarter]

## Slide 8: Challenges
[Honest look at what did not go well and lessons learned]

## Slide 9: Q1 Roadmap
[Top 3-5 priorities for next quarter]

## Slide 10: Discussion
[Open questions and topics for group input]

Guidelines

  • Slides are a visual aid, not a document. If someone can read the slides and skip the talk, the slides have too much text.
  • Design for the back row. Text should be readable from 20 feet away. Minimum 24pt for body text, 36pt for titles.
  • The title of every slide should be the key takeaway, not a topic label. "We grew 3x this year" is a title. "Growth" is a label.
  • Use progressive reveal when presenting complex ideas. Build up one point at a time rather than showing everything at once.
  • Speaker notes are essential. Write them as natural speech, not bullet points.
  • End with energy. The last thing the audience hears is what they remember. Make it count.
  • Rehearse the timing. A common mistake is having too many slides for the time slot.
  • Keep a consistent visual style. Same fonts, colors, and layouts throughout. Inconsistency looks unprofessional.
  • When in doubt, cut a slide. Fewer, stronger slides always beat more, weaker ones.

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 Ai Slides AI skill do?

Generate complete presentations with AI — from outline to polished slides. Use when a user asks to create a presentation, build slides, make a pitch deck, generate a slide deck, create a keynote, prepare a talk, build a demo presentation, or produce any slide-based content.

Why use Ai Slides on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ai Slides 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 Ai Slides in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/TerminalSkills/skills/tree/main/skills/ai-slides. 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 Ai Slides?

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 Ai Slides?

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

Is the Ai Slides AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by TerminalSkills under the Apache-2.0 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.
