Markdown Slides Skill

Overview

This skill enables creation of presentations from pure Markdown using Marp. Write slides in familiar Markdown syntax and export to PDF, PPTX, or HTML with professional themes.

How to Use

1. Write or provide Markdown content
2. I'll format it for Marp with proper directives
3. Export to your preferred format (PDF/PPTX/HTML)

Example prompts:

• "Convert my notes to a presentation"
