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

## Purpose

Generate professional slide presentations from scratch or by converting existing documents. Supports four output formats covering academic, business, and developer use cases. Enforces slide layout best practices to prevent text overflow, cluttered slides, and poor readability.

## When to Use

- User asks to create a presentation, slide deck, or talk
- User wants to convert a paper, report, outline, or notes into slides
- User requests a specific format: Beamer, Marp, Jupyter slides, or PowerPoint
- User asks for conference talk, lecture, or meeting slides

## CRITICAL: Slide Layout Rules

**These rules apply to ALL formats. Follow them by default. The user may override for specific slides (e.g., reference/appendix slides), but warn about readability.**

### Text Density Limits

- **Max 6 bullet points per slide** — if more content is needed, split across multiple slides
- **Max ~40 words per slide body** (excluding title) — slides are visual aids, not documents
- **One core idea per slide** — each slide should have a single takeaway message
- **Bullet text max ~10 words each** — use sentence fragments, not full sentences

### Font Size Minimums

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jkitchin/knowhow/presentations@sha256:f4e76aec074cec0c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260227.5900c1a, 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.
