Awesome Deck PDF

Generate polished HTML slide decks and export as PDF. Works with OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Codex. Supports .pptx templates, images, website URLs, and style...

Security Scan

The skill's code, docs, and instructions consistently implement an HTML → PNG → PDF workflow using Puppeteer; nothing indicates covert exfiltration or unrelated privileges, though the package metadata omits declared dependencies and the script runs Chrome with --no-sandbox (common but worth noting).

Purpose & Capability

The name/description match the included files: SKILL.md, README, and scripts all implement HTML slide generation and PDF export. However, the registry metadata claims no dependencies or required binaries while README and scripts clearly require Node.js (>=18), puppeteer (or puppeteer-core) and python-pptx for .pptx parsing — a mismatch between metadata and actual requirements.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions and SKILL.md are narrowly scoped to extracting style/content and generating slides/PDF. The export script operates on local files (file://), writes/cleans a temporary _pdf_pages directory, and does not attempt to read unrelated system files or environment variables.

Install Mechanism

There is no formal install spec in registry metadata (instruction-only), but README/install guides instruct installing npm puppeteer (which may download a Chromium binary) and python-pptx. Installing puppeteer will fetch a browser binary unless using puppeteer-core+system Chrome — this is expected but introduces a network download of a large binary from upstream.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. The dependencies it asks for (Node/pip packages) are appropriate for the described functionality; no unrelated credentials or config paths are requested.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always: true and is user-invocable only. It runs a Node script that launches Chrome with the '--no-sandbox' flag (common in containerized CI but weaker from a security perspective). The script writes and removes temporary files in the working directory but does not alter agent/system-wide configs.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it says: generate HTML slides and export a high-quality PDF using Puppeteer. Before installing, consider the following: 1) Metadata omission — the registry lists no dependencies but the README and script require Node.js (v18+), puppeteer or puppeteer-core, and python-pptx. Confirm you can install these. 2) Puppeteer may download a Chromium binary (network activity) or you must supply system Chrome; review where that download will come from. 3) The script launches Chrome with '--no-sandbox' which reduces process isolation; run the tool in a sandboxed environment (container/VM) if you’ll render untrusted HTML. 4) The exporter loads local HTML (file://) but any external resources referenced in that HTML (fonts, images, stylesheets) may be fetched by Chromium — avoid rendering HTML containing secrets or private URLs. 5) If possible, verify the published source (GitHub repo referenced in README) before use. If you need higher assurance, ask the author for an install manifest (package.json) and a signed release or run the script in an isolated environment and inspect network activity during a test run.

Simple skill to create HTML slides and export as PDF.

Usage

Tell the agent what you need, e.g.:

• "create slides in Apple style"
• "make a presentation"
• "build a deck"

Output

• slides.html
• slides.pdf
