Markdown Slides
When to use
Use this skill for markdown slides when you need to convert Markdown into a usable presentation. The expected result is an HTML slide deck with presenter controls.
Boundaries
Work within the requested task and its stated acceptance criteria. Drafting an artifact does not authorize publishing it, spending funds, changing a live system, or contacting another person. Identify any such action separately before taking it.
Inputs
Inspect slide headings, speaker notes, images, and display size. Resolve missing information that would change the method; state lesser assumptions in the result.
Method
- Diagnose. Inventory headings, links, tables, code blocks, media, footnotes, and content that must survive conversion.
- Decide. Separate one idea per slide and preserve the narrative order.
- Produce. Build an HTML slide deck with presenter controls from the inspected material; keep assumptions distinguishable from observed facts.
Decision rules
- Choose semantic elements and navigation that preserve reading order. Avoid visual styling that changes meaning.
- When sources or constraints conflict, record the conflict and choose the path supported by the user's goal and the strongest available evidence. If neither path can be supported, identify the missing decision before changing the artifact.
Domain rules
- Preserve source headings, links, tables, and reading order.
- Check responsive layout, keyboard access, and content completeness after conversion.
Verification
Test keyboard navigation and projection legibility. Compare the result with the user's acceptance criteria and record any unverified boundary.
Compare source and output section by section; check links, mobile layout, keyboard access, and print behavior.
Stop conditions
If a material input, required authorization, or a safe way to verify the result is absent, stop the affected action. Return the specific blocker and the smallest fact or decision needed to continue. Do not report an unrun check as passed.
Output
Provide an HTML slide deck with presenter controls. Include the decisive evidence and actual verification result. Name any artifact location and unresolved issue that affects its use.
