What it does

When this skill is installed, the agent builds a presentation as one HTML file styled like a cream paper notebook with colored index tabs, using a fixed design template. You give it your project content (problem, method, evaluation, limitations, likely defense questions), and it fills the template's slides with that content while keeping the fixed fonts, colors and layout. It also asks for missing essentials such as audience, deadline and key numbers before producing a slide plan and critique.

Great for

  • Computer-science students preparing a capstone or thesis defense deck for a professor or committee
  • Students who want a visually consistent, self-contained HTML slide file rather than a PowerPoint

Skip it if

  • Anyone needing a deck in a different visual identity, since the skill forbids other fonts and colors and says not to redesign the template
  • Users who need slides with no numbers or evidence checked: the skill itself is a layout template, so the factual accuracy of the content depends on the user's own material

Try asking

  • “Create a capstone defense deck for my on-device ML keyboard project for my professor and defense committee”
  • “Turn my evaluation results and limitations into slides using the notebook tabs style”
  • “Ask me for the missing details first, then write a slide plan and speaker-ready structure for my thesis defense”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Provide your source materials, must-keep numbers and the defense audience up front so the agent does not invent figures
  • Check every number and claim in the generated slides yourself before presenting, especially evaluation results
  • Keep the template's fixed 1920x1080 stage and token block intact if you edit the HTML later
