SlideCraft — Editable PowerPoint decks from one prompt

Paste one prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Codex and get an editable PowerPoint — action titles, sourced numbers and a review before hand-off. Not a picture of slides.

SlideCraft in 30 seconds: one prompt, the action-title chain, cover options, the built deck, a wrong total caught, and the editable PowerPoint

Start with one prompt

No install, no YAML. Paste this into ChatGPT (agent mode), Codex, Claude or Claude Code — any assistant that can run code and open a link — and fill in the brackets.

Study the repository https://github.com/eiler2005/slidecraft (read AGENTS.md first) and use
SlideCraft to make me an editable PowerPoint deck.

Topic: [what the deck is about]
For whom and why: [who will read it and what they should decide or do]
Length: 15–20 slides
Language: [English / Russian / …]
Content: [your notes, key points, numbers with their sources, links or files]
Style: [e.g. calm consulting look, dark keynote, or "match the colours of https://…"]

Follow the SlideCraft workflow: show me the action-title chain and 2–3 cover options before
building, cite a source for every number, then give me the .pptx and a PDF.

The assistant runs npx @eiler2005/slidecraft on its side, shows you the titles and covers to approve, then hands you the .pptx and a PDF. Tested with Codex and Claude Code. For repeat work, install it into your assistant.
