Slidev Skills for Claude CodeCAUTION
Presentation Slides for Developers
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
Agent skills that help Claude Code understand and work with Slidev presentations.
Installation
npx skills add slidevjs/slidev
This will add the Slidev skill to your Claude Code configuration.
What's Included
The Slidev skill provides Claude Code with knowledge about:
- Core Syntax - Markdown syntax, slide separators, frontmatter
- Animations - Click animations, transitions, motion effects
- Code Features - Line highlighting, Monaco editor, code groups, magic-move
- Diagrams - Mermaid, PlantUML, LaTeX math
- Layouts - Built-in layouts, slots, global layers
- Presenter Mode - Recording, timer, remote access
- Exporting - PDF, PPTX, PNG, SPA hosting
Usage
Once installed, Claude Code will automatically use Slidev knowledge when:
- Creating new presentations
- Adding slides with code examples
- Setting up animations and transitions
- Configuring themes and layouts
- Exporting presentations
Example Prompts
Create a Slidev presentation about TypeScript generics with code examples
Add a two-column slide with code on the left and explanation on the right
Set up click animations to reveal bullet points one by one
Configure the presentation for PDF export with speaker notes

# Slidev - Presentation Slides for Developers
Web-based slides maker built on Vite, Vue, and Markdown.
## When to Use
- Technical presentations or slidedecks with live code examples
- Syntax-highlighted code snippets with animations
- Interactive demos (Monaco editor, runnable code)
- Mathematical equations (LaTeX) or diagrams (Mermaid, PlantUML)
- Record presentations with presenter notes
- Export to PDF, PPTX, or host as SPA
- Code walkthroughs for developer talks or workshops
## Quick Start
```bash
pnpm create slidev # Create project
pnpm run dev # Start dev server (opens http://localhost:3030)
pnpm run build # Build static SPA
pnpm run export # Export to PDF (requires playwright-chromium)
```
**Verify**: After `pnpm run dev`, confirm slides load at `http://localhost:3030`. After `pnpm run export`, check the output PDF exists in the project root.
## Basic Syntax
```md
---
theme: default
title: My Presentation
---
# First Slide
Content here
---
# Second Slide
More content
<!--
Presenter notes go here
-->
```
- `---` separates slides
- First frontmatter = headmatter (deck config)
- HTML comments = presenter notes
