Is the Slidedown skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from Viniciuscarvalho/slidedown. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Slidedown SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Slidedown?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Slidedown with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 94114e7

The core converter genuinely works: ran it on a real test deck and it produced a valid .pptx with an actual PowerPoint table object and speaker notes routed to the hidden notes field, versus a naive baseline that dumped raw markdown-table pipes and leaked the HTML speaker-note comment straight onto the visible slide. But SKILL.md's own QA step calls a script, scripts/office/soffice.py, that does not exist anywhere in the repo, so following the workflow literally breaks at Step 4.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Slidedown does

Converts a Markdown file into a themed .pptx deck via a bundled pptxgenjs script, auto-detecting title, quote, bullet, table, and code slides from markdown conventions and routing HTML-comment speaker notes into real PowerPoint notes fields. Triggers on 'md to slides', 'markdown to pptx/keynote', or any request to turn notes/a .md file into a presentation.
