Proposes which slides to cut, merge or move to an appendix so a deck fits its slot and its argument, using repetition, slides carrying no message, and slides that do not support the stated conclusion as the criteria. Deletes nothing. Use when the user says a deck is too long, needs to fit a time slot, or asks what can be cut. Not for relocating detail to an appendix; use appendix-split for that.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Deck trim proposal

## Purpose

Decide what leaves the room with you. A deck that is too long is rarely too long by a little, and the slides that should go are usually not the ones the author is tired of. The skill proposes a cut list against stated criteria, keeps every proposal reversible, and deletes nothing.

## When to use

- The user says a deck is too long, must fit a slot, or asks what can be cut.
- A deck has grown through several reviews and now repeats itself.
- Do not use to shorten individual slides. This skill works at the slide level.

## Inputs

1. The open presentation (required).
2. Target (optional): a slide count, a time slot, or both. If neither is given, propose against the argument rather than a number.
3. The conclusion (optional): the one thing the deck must land. If the user does not give it, derive a candidate from the closing or summary slide and confirm it before proposing cuts.

## Procedure

1. Build the slide inventory: number, title, single message, and whether the slide carries data, argument, context or navigation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-office-skills/deck-trim-proposal@sha256:1dbab9b0034c6a7a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.9aa8eaa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
