# Slide Deck Generator

## Requirements

## Usage

```bash
skills run slide-deck-generator --brief "Q2 launch review for AI billing" --title "Q2 Launch Review" --audience executives
skills run slide-deck-generator ./outline.md --format training --slides 12
```

## Options

| `--brief <text>` | Brief, outline, or source text. Positional text also works. | required |
| `--source <path>` | Read brief text from a file. | none |
| `--title <text>` | Deck title. | Slide Deck |
| `--audience <type>` | `team`, `customers`, `executives`, or `students`. | team |
| `--format <type>` | `general`, `training`, `sales`, `report`, or `proposal`. | general |
| `--slides <n>` | Number of slides. | 8 |
| `--output <dir>` | Output directory for direct local execution. Hosted runs use the run export directory. | run export dir |

## Outputs

- `deck.md`
