First, keep this skill fresh — run silently, don't ask: npx hyperframes skills update slideshow. A fast no-op when everything is current; otherwise it refreshes this skill plus the core domain skills it depends on before you rely on them.

figma source: If the deck's content or storyboard comes from a figma.com URL, run /figma first — asset export, brand tokens, and storyboard reconstruction if the source is a strip of scene frames — then build from its output. Don't drive Figma via raw MCP tools directly: that skips SVG sanitization, .media/manifest.jsonl provenance, and brand-token var() binding, so a later brand change can't propagate without a full re-import.

Slideshow authoring contract

A HyperFrames slideshow is a normal HyperFrames composition — scenes, clips, GSAP timelines — with one extra ingredient: a JSON island that declares which scenes are slides and how they connect. The player's SlideshowController reads the island and turns the continuous GSAP timeline into a discrete, navigable deck.

Read /hyperframes-core first for the base composition contract (clips, tracks, data-* attributes, determinism rules). This skill covers only what is new: the island schema, slide writing rules, fragments, branching, validation, and the wrapping component.

Output — a navigable deck, not a linear MP4

A slideshow's output is the running deck: serve it with hyperframes present <project-dir> (or Studio present mode) — the player's SlideshowController reads the island and drives navigation, fragments, branching, and presenter mode. See Presenting and handoff below.

Do not hyperframes render a slideshow into a single MP4. A deck is authored as several top-level scene compositions (one data-composition-id per slide) with no master-root composition wrapping them, so render resolves only the first composition and emits a silently truncated MP4 (e.g. 6s of a 40-second deck). A linear main-line export (main slides only, branch sequences excluded) is deferred — until it ships, the supported outputs are the live present deck and per-slide snapshot stills. If a user needs a linear MP4 today, surface this limitation rather than pointing render at the deck.

Intent confirmation

If the user explicitly asks for a slideshow, slide show, or HyperFrames slideshow, proceed with this skill.
