What the Course Module Deck skill makes the agent do
An agent skill is a folder of written instructions that an AI agent reads when a task matches the skill's purpose. This one covers teaching decks. When it is active, the agent can turn a lesson or workshop outline into a 16:9 presentation with the following structure: a cover naming the module and instructor, a learning-objectives list kept visible down the left side, content slides that pair concepts with examples, a multiple-choice self-test slide, and a wrap-up slide that previews the next module.
The skill applies a warm paper background with a Playfair serif typeface. The package contains a set of written instructions (SKILL.md) and an example HTML file showing the look. It does not add any new tools to the agent.
Install the Course Module Deck skill
Download the skill ZIP from this page and unzip it. You can install it in one of two ways.
For personal use across projects, unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/. For a single project, unzip it into that project's .claude/skills/ folder. Both locations are where the agent looks for skills.
You can also upload the ZIP in the Claude apps under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
- Personal: ~/.claude/skills/
- Single project: .claude/skills/ inside the project folder
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload the ZIP
How to trigger the skill with natural requests
You do not need a special command. Describe a teaching deck in plain language, and mention a lesson, workshop, course module or training. The skill's description covers teaching decks with a visible list of learning objectives and quiz slides, so requests that name those things are the most likely to match.
Give the agent your outline, the module name and the instructor name if you want them on the cover. Ask for a quiz slide if you want one.
- Make a 16:9 course module deck for "Intro to Spreadsheets" taught by Dana Lee, from this outline: ...
- Build a workshop deck with learning objectives on the left and a multiple-choice self-test at the end.
- Turn my training notes into a classroom-style slide deck with a wrap-up slide that previews the next module.
What you need before you start
The source lists no separate requirements for this skill. It does not run scripts and does not use the network. The output format depends on the host tool you use, so check what your tool can export before you plan around a specific file type.
- Requires: nothing listed
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: no
Safety notes on scripts and network access
According to the source, this skill runs no scripts and makes no network calls. It consists of written instructions and an example HTML file. Because it is text instructions rather than executable code, there is less to review than with a skill that bundles scripts.
Still, read the SKILL.md file before installing any skill, and review the generated deck before sharing it with students.
Tips for better course decks
Write your outline with one main concept per content slide. Add a short example for each concept, since the layout pairs concepts with examples. Keep your learning objectives specific and few, because they stay visible on every slide.
Ask for the MCQ self-test slide explicitly and supply the questions and answers yourself if accuracy matters. Review the generated text against your source material.
- List 3 to 5 learning objectives so the left column stays readable
- Supply your own quiz questions for accuracy
- Check the deck in the format your tool produces before presenting
What people use it for
- Building a one-hour workshop deck with objectives visible on every slide
- Preparing an internal training module with a quiz slide at the end
- Creating a consistent classroom-style deck for a student team
- Drafting a wrap-up slide that previews the next module in a course series

Our verdict
Use the Course Module Deck skill if you are an instructor, student team or trainer who wants a consistent classroom-style deck with visible learning objectives and built-in quiz slides.
