Slide Generator Skill

A Codex skill for planning slide decks before styling them.

It helps an AI agent diagnose why slide work is stuck, choose the right narrative structure, select appropriate charts or diagrams, find useful visual resources, and verify the final deck before delivery.

Korean Summary

slide-generator는 발표자료를 바로 꾸미기 전에 메시지, 구조, 시각화 방식, 참고 리소스를 먼저 정리하게 해주는 Codex 스킬입니다.

특히 다음 상황에 유용합니다.

• 슬라이드 구성이 막혔을 때
• 표나 보고서를 발표 흐름으로 바꾸고 싶을 때
• 어떤 차트나 도식을 써야 할지 애매할 때
• 한국어 제안서, 공공기관 자료, 국내 통계/공유저작물이 필요할 때
• 완성 전 품질 체크리스트가 필요할 때

Why This Skill

Most deck work does not fail because the slides are not pretty enough. It fails because the message, structure, visual form, or source material is unclear.

This skill gives Codex a repeatable workflow for answering:

• What should each slide communicate?
• Which deck pattern fits this situation?
• Should this content become a chart, diagram, table, timeline, matrix, or checklist?
• Which resource category should be used when structure, data, design elements, or Korean-context materials are missing?
• What should be checked before delivering an outline or PPTX?

Highlights

• Information design first: starts with message, audience, and decision context before visual styling.
• Deck pattern library: supports executive briefings, proposals, data reports, product introductions, training decks, and research summaries.
• Visual decision support: maps comparison, trend, composition, distribution, relationship, process, and hierarchy problems to better slide forms.
• Resource navigator: organizes common slide resources by blockage: structure, data/charts, design elements, and Korean templates/data/assets.
• Korean-friendly but not Korea-only: adapts to the user's language and context, with extra guidance for Korean business and public-sector decks.
• Privacy-safe distribution: the skill does not depend on local paths, personal memory, private examples, or screenshot metadata.

Installation

Copy the skill folder into your Codex skills directory:

mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
cp -R skills/slide-generator ~/.codex/skills/slide-generator

Then invoke it in Codex:

Use $slide-generator to turn this brief into a 10-slide executive deck.

Example Prompts

Use $slide-generator to convert this table-heavy report into a slide plan. Decide which pages need charts, comparison tables, diagrams, or summary insights.

Use $slide-generator to make a proposal deck outline for a Korean public-sector buyer. Include the narrative flow, slide titles, recommended visuals, and source notes.

Use $slide-generator to diagnose why this draft deck feels unfinished. Tell me whether the problem is structure, data visualization, design elements, Korean-context materials, or slide copy.

How The Skill Works

When triggered, the skill asks Codex to:

1. Define the audience, purpose, tone, output format, and constraints.
2. Build the storyline before designing slides.
3. Choose a deck pattern when the request matches a common deck type.
4. Pick visual forms based on the information problem.
5. Consult resource maps only when useful.
6. Build the requested deliverable: outline, slide copy, storyboard, or PPTX.
7. Run a final quality checklist before delivery.

AI Agent Notes

For best results:

• Start with skills/slide-generator/SKILL.md.
• Load references/deck-patterns.md when selecting a deck structure.
• Load references/examples.md when the user wants a starting prompt or sample output.
• Load references/slide-resource-map.md when the user is blocked on tools or source materials.
• Load references/quality-checklist.md before final delivery.
• Verify current URLs, pricing, and license terms before using third-party assets.
