Use ProSlides with an AI agent

The ProSlides Skill teaches an AI agent how to plan, create, and inspect a presentation. ProSlides MCP gives the agent the tools to create a Deck, write slides, and inspect the result. You need both before the agent can build a complete presentation from your conversation.

1. Install the ProSlides Skill

The ProSlides Skill is published on skills.sh. You can ask your current agent to install it or run the command yourself; both paths use the same cross-agent installer.

Not comfortable with a terminal? Copy this prompt

Use the copy button on the code block, then paste the complete prompt into Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent that has access to tools on your computer:

Please install the ProSlides Skill globally on this computer. Run this command directly:
npx skills add https://skills.sh/p/T9tAYqWiMWIK5x46 --global --yes

When it finishes, run npx skills list -g and confirm that proslides appears in the list. Then tell me the installation result and whether I need to restart the client or open a new conversation. Do not configure MCP yet.

Comfortable with a terminal? Run the command directly

You do not need to find an agent-specific Skills directory. Run:

npx skills add https://skills.sh/p/T9tAYqWiMWIK5x46 --global --yes

--global installs the Skill at user scope so it is available across projects. --yes skips interactive confirmation and lets the installer detect supported agents on the current computer.

To verify the installation, run npx skills list -g and confirm that proslides appears in the list.

Start a new agent conversation after installation. If the Skill does not appear, restart the client. To pull a later update, run:

npx skills update proslides --global --yes

2. Ask the agent to connect and authorize MCP

The ProSlides Skill already explains how different agents should configure MCP, so you do not need to learn each client's commands, settings interface, or configuration format. Paste this prompt into any agent conversation where the Skill is installed and the agent has access to local tools:

Use the ProSlides Skill (proslides) and follow its Connect MCP guide to configure and connect ProSlides MCP for me.

Complete every step you can handle directly, and only ask me when sign-in or authorization is required. Finally, verify that the tools needed to create a Deck are available and report the result.

The agent should explicitly confirm three results: MCP is connected, OAuth is authorized, and all tools required to create a Deck are available. “Configuration saved” by itself does not mean the connection is ready.

3. Create your first Deck

For your first run, use this end-to-end test without preparing or uploading any source material. The agent will generate clearly labeled demo data and complete the entire workflow from content planning through slide inspection:

Use the ProSlides Skill (proslides) to create an 8-slide quarterly business review in English.

Invent a fictional B2B SaaS company and a coherent set of quarterly metrics covering revenue, customer growth, conversion, retention, and channel performance. Clearly label them in the Deck as “Sample data for demonstration only.” The audience is the leadership team, and the goal is to summarize the quarter and recommend three priorities for the next one.

Develop the narrative, slide structure, and theme yourself, use a concise and data-led visual style, then create and inspect every slide directly. Do not ask me for source material or wait for content approval. Only interrupt me for actions that I must complete in the browser. Return the ProSlides Editor link when finished.

The agent will then:

1. Generate a fictional company, demo data, narrative, and slide structure;
2. Choose a matching ProSlides Theme and create the Deck;
3. Ask you to open the Editor and activate the agent connection only when technically required;
4. Create, write, and inspect every slide, repairing meaningful overflow, overlap, or readability issues;
5. Return the Editor link and a concise completion summary.

Troubleshooting

The Skill is installed, but the agent does not use it

Start a new conversation and explicitly include $proslides or “Use the ProSlides Skill”. If it is still unavailable, rerun the install command, confirm the intended agent is selected, and restart the client.

MCP says authentication is required

Copy the prompt from step 2 again so the agent can restart authorization and verify the connection. You only need to complete ProSlides sign-in and approval in your browser. Do not copy a token into the conversation.

The agent can plan an outline but cannot create slides

Confirm that MCP is connected and exposes all required tools, then make sure the Editor link is open and its agent connection is active. The Skill defines the workflow; Deck mutations require both MCP and the Editor connection.
