Is the Slidev skill free?

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

What is the Slidev SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 10/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Slidev?

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 Slidev 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: Tested · Works
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 13, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 35c3484

Live-built both a naive baseline deck and a skill-guided one with the real @slidev/cli: the baseline's guessed `layout: two-column` was flagged by Slidev's own build as an unknown layout, and its `:::right:::` slot syntax compiled to a bogus Vue slot name that silently drops the right-column content — the skill's exact `two-cols` / `::right::` syntax built clean with zero warnings and a real `col-right` slot.

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

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 10/10
Docs & honesty 4/5

What Slidev does

Slidev turns Markdown into web-based, code-friendly slide decks (Vite + Vue), and this skill packs 52 reference files covering slide syntax, layouts, click animations, Monaco/magic-move code demos, Mermaid/PlantUML/LaTeX, and PDF/PPTX/PNG export, generated from Slidev's own docs. Trigger it for conference talks, code walkthroughs, and teaching decks with live code and click-based highlighting.
