Presentation-creating skills with Marp and Mermaid tooling

[pavelanni]

Summary

Bundle presentation-creating skills and the necessary rendering tools so DocsClaw agents can generate slide decks.

Motivation

Creating presentations is a common business task that agents can assist with. The skills define how to create good slides; the tools (Marp, Mermaid) handle rendering to PDF/PNG/HTML.

Skill sources

• lecture-slides / lecture-script — Pavel Anni's Marp-based slide and narration generation skills (see ~/personal/mephi/lecturer/.claude/skills/)
• red-hat-quick-deck — Todd Ward's Red Hat-branded HTML presentation skill (github.com/toddward/red-hat-quick-deck)

These need to be adapted for DocsClaw's skill format and generalized beyond their current specific use cases.

Required tools (for the presentations image flavor)

• marp-cli — Markdown to slides (PDF, PNG, HTML, PPTX)
• mermaid-cli (mmdc) — diagram rendering
• chromium-headless — required by both Marp and Mermaid for rendering
• Optionally: custom Marp themes (graph_paper, Red Hat branded)

Acceptance criteria

• Presentation skill(s) adapted for DocsClaw's SKILL.md format
• Skills included in the presentations Docker image flavor (Specialized Dockerfiles for agent flavors (docs, media, data, presentations, content) #7)
• Agent can generate Marp Markdown and render to PDF/HTML
• Agent can generate Mermaid diagrams and embed rendered output
• Example agent-config.yaml for a presentation-creating agent
