What This Skill Does
Marp CLI converts Markdown files into presentation formats including HTML, PDF, PowerPoint (PPTX), and images from the command line. PDF, PPTX, and image exports require a browser installed on the system.
Writing slides in Markdown lets you version-control presentations and automate builds without a GUI tool.
When to use it
- Converting a Markdown draft into a shareable PDF deck
- Generating a title slide PNG for use as an open graph image
- Batch converting a folder of slide decks to PPTX before a meeting
- Serving a slides directory locally for browser-based preview during editing
- Exporting presenter notes to a text file for separate review
