It has no GitHub stars yet, so there is no community track record; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- We could not determine when the repository was last updated.
- Our last check on 2026-10-20 found the source still online.
- No license is declared. By default that means all rights are reserved: you can read it, but reusing or redistributing it is not clearly permitted. Ask the author before building on it commercially.
- Its trust signals score 68/100, with 3 cautions from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

Skill content
View source on GitHubdescription: Generate a stunning magazine-quality slide deck as a self-contained HTML page
Load the visual-explainer skill, then generate a slide deck for: $@
Follow the visual-explainer skill workflow. Read the reference template at ./templates/slide-deck.html and slide patterns at ./references/slide-patterns.md before generating. Also read ./references/css-patterns.md for shared patterns (Mermaid zoom controls, depth tiers, overflow protection) and ./references/libraries.md for Mermaid theming, Chart.js, and font pairings.
Slide output is always opt-in. Only generate slides when this command is invoked or the user explicitly asks for a slide deck.
Aesthetic: Pick a distinctive direction from the 4 slide presets in slide-patterns.md (Midnight Editorial, Warm Signal, Terminal Mono, Swiss Clean) or riff on the existing 8 aesthetic directions adapted for slides. Vary from previous decks. Commit to one direction and carry it through every slide.
Narrative structure: Slides have a temporal dimension — compose a story arc, not a list of sections. Start with impact (title), build context (overview), deep dive (content, diagrams, data), resolve (summary/next steps). Plan the slide sequence and assign a composition (centered, left-heavy, split, full-bleed) to each slide before writing HTML.
Visual richness: Proactively reach for visuals. If surf CLI is available (which surf), generate images for title slide backgrounds and full-bleed slides via surf gemini --generate-image. Add SVG decorative accents, inline sparklines, mini-charts, and small Mermaid diagrams where they make the story more compelling. Visual-first, text-second.
Compositional variety: Consecutive slides must vary their spatial approach. Alternate between centered, left-heavy, right-heavy, split, edge-aligned, and full-bleed. Three centered slides in a row means push one off-axis.
