How to use the Replit-Style Slide Deck agent skill (deck-replit)
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The deck-replit skill is a set of written instructions that teaches an AI agent to turn your notes or content into one self-contained HTML file that plays as a horizontal-swipe slide deck, styled after Replit Slides. This guide is for people who have never used an agent skill before. By the end you will know what the skill does, how to install it, how to ask for a deck, and what to check before you share the result.
Quick start
- 1Download the ZIP. Get the deck-replit skill ZIP from the page where you found this guide.
- 2Unzip into a skills folder. Unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder for one project.
- 3Or upload in the Claude apps. In the Claude apps, go to Settings → Capabilities → Skills and upload the ZIP.
- 4Choose a theme. Pick one of helix, holm, vance, bevel, world-dark, world-mint, atlas or bluehouse.
- 5Make your request. Describe the deck in plain language, paste your notes, and ask for a slide deck in your chosen theme.
- 6Review and share. Open the single HTML file in a browser, check the content, then share it.
What does the deck-replit skill make the agent do?
When the skill is active, the agent builds a single HTML file that presents as a horizontal-swipe deck. You choose one of eight built-in colour and font themes: helix, holm, vance, bevel, world-dark, world-mint, atlas or bluehouse. The agent then keeps the whole deck in that one theme and does not mix palettes, fonts or accents.
The deck follows a fixed structure: a cover, an agenda, several content slides and a closing slide. The number of content slides depends on how much material you give it. The skill's guidance is to start at 6 to 10 content slides for short input and to use more for longer input so that every point is covered.
- Output: one HTML file you can open in a browser or share.
- Themes: helix, holm, vance, bevel, world-dark, world-mint, atlas, bluehouse.
- Structure: cover, agenda, content slides, closing slide.
- The skill is written instructions only. It does not add new tools to the agent.
How do you install the deck-replit skill?
Skills are folders of instructions that an agent loads when it needs them. There are two ways to add this one. Download the ZIP of the skill from the page where you found this guide, then choose the option that fits your setup.
Option one is to unzip the download into your personal skills folder, ~/.claude/skills/. Option two is to unzip it into a project's .claude/skills/ folder so that it only applies to that project. Option three is to upload the ZIP in the Claude apps under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
- Personal install: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/.
- Project install: unzip into the project's .claude/skills/ folder.
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload the ZIP.
How do you trigger the skill with a natural request?
You do not need special syntax. Describe the deck you want in plain language, mention that it should be a slide deck, and name a theme if you have a preference. Paste or attach your notes or outline so the agent has the content to work from.
If you do not name a theme, the agent still has to choose one, so it is safer to name it. Ask for one theme only if you want the deck to stay consistent.
- Example request: Turn these notes into a 12-slide deck in the world-mint theme.
- Example request: Make a deck in the bluehouse theme from this product brief, with a cover, agenda and closing slide.
- Example request: Use the helix theme to turn this outline into a swipeable presentation.
What does the example output look like?
The skill ships with an example file, example.md, which shows a World Mint theme deck. It has a cover slide with a deck title and an agenda slide with five numbered items. The style uses a sans-serif font with a neon mint accent colour. A matching example.html file is included so you can see the rendered result.
The example is a preview of two pages, the cover and the agenda. It is meant to show the look and structure, so use it as a reference for what to expect rather than as a complete deck.
- Included files: SKILL.md, example.md, example.html.
- Example theme: World Mint, with sans-serif type and neon mint accent.
- Example pages: cover plus agenda.
What does the skill need, and what are the safety notes?
The skill lists no requirements. It does not run scripts and it does not use the network. It is made of written layout and design rules, so there is nothing to configure beyond installing the folder.
Because it runs no scripts and makes no network calls, the main thing to check is the content of the HTML file the agent produces before you publish it. Review the text, figures and any links in the deck as you would for any document.
- Requirements: none listed.
- Runs scripts: no.
- Uses network: no.
- Licence: Apache-2.0.
- Review the generated HTML before sharing it publicly.
What are the limits, and tips for better decks?
The skill imitates a visual style from written rules. It does not use official Replit branding or brand assets, so do not expect a logo-accurate or brand-exact result. The output is a single HTML file, not an editable .pptx or Google Slides file, so if your team edits decks in PowerPoint or Google Slides this skill is not the right fit.
To get better results, give the agent a clear outline with the main points in order, and say how long you want the deck to be. Stick to one theme per deck, because the skill is designed to avoid mixing them.
- Give a clear outline with points in order.
- State roughly how many slides you want.
- Keep one theme per deck.
- Do not rely on it for official Replit branding or exact brand assets.
- Expect an HTML file, not an editable PowerPoint or Google Slides file.
What people use it for
- A startup team turning a rough product outline into a polished, Replit-style pitch deck.
- Turning a long document into a short swipeable presentation with a cover, agenda and closing slide.
- Producing a self-contained HTML deck that can be opened in any browser and shared by link or file.
- Quickly drafting a team update deck in one consistent theme.
