Marp Slides — Development skill for Claude Code

MARP Slides

A Claude Code skill for creating beautiful presentations using [MARP](https://marp.app) — SVG charts, dashboard components, dark/light themes, and 22 curated example decks to learn from.

What it does

Give Claude Code a topic and it builds a polished MARP deck. The skill teaches it how to compose slides using SVG charts, metric cards, gauges, sparklines, progress bars, expandable sections, and more — all in raw HTML inside Markdown.

The 22 example decks are the secret sauce. Instead of just knowing the building blocks, Claude reads real decks that look good and matches that quality bar.

Quick start

1. Install the skill

git clone https://github.com/robonuggets/marp-slides

2. Add it to Claude Code

Point Claude Code at the skill folder:

claude --add-dir ./marp-slides

Or add it manually to your project's `.claude/skills/` directory.

3. Install the VS Code extension

Install **Marp for VS Code** and enable these settings:

{
  "markdown.marp.enableHtml": true,
  "markdown.marp.allowLocalFiles": true
}

4. Ask for a presentation

Create a MARP presentation reviewing my Q1 sales data. Dark theme, include stat cards and a bar chart.

Make me a deck about my favorite coffee brewing methods. Editorial style, warm tones.

Build a fitness dashboard presentation from this CSV data.
