Slidev Presentation Skill
Overview
Create and edit high-quality Slidev presentations. Slidev turns a single Markdown file into a presentation with live code, animations, diagrams, and PDF/PPTX export. It is the strongest tool available for tech talks because slides can show code the way code actually behaves — Monaco editors run inline, Shiki Magic-Move morphs code between states, TwoSlash surfaces TypeScript type info, and the whole deck is a git-versionable markdown file.
Primary use cases this skill supports:
- Conference talks (20–40 min, narrative arc, Q&A)
- Workshops and hands-on sessions (live coding, exercises, dual-pane cmd/result)
- Lightning talks (5–10 min, punchy, high animation)
- Live-coding demos embedded in any deck
- Edits to an existing Slidev project
Runtime requirements: Node.js ≥ 20.12.0 (Node 24 recommended; Slidev's own create-slidev pins engines.node >=20.12.0). pnpm is the preferred package manager (matches Slidev's official docs); npm and yarn work identically.
Slidev version this skill targets: v52+ (Shiki Magic-Move, TwoSlash, MDC syntax, modern Monaco API all available).
